Redistribute the army to protect Rome

Theodosius takes over control after Constantine

calms it down. He realizes it is hard to rule Rome
so he splits it in half

If you were a Germanic Tribe why would
you try to take over and battle the
undefeatable Romans?
Location is key? Why is Rome valuable?
Looking for warmer climate for their crops
Good grass lands for their cattle
Running from the Huns who are trying to kill
them
The Huns
•Equestrian Nomads from
Mongolia
•That were looking for
different places to settle
Germanic Tribes VS the Huns
The Huns defeated some Germanic
tribes making them scared.
The Visigoths ask Rome for protection
Rome gives them protection
What do you think is going to happen??
Problems between the Germanic
Tribes and Rome
Rome takes advantage of the Visigoths
Pay lots of money for food
Become slaves for Romans
Germanic Tribes
Vs. Rome
Visigoths rebel against
the Romans
In 378 the Romans are
beaten for the first time
ever!
Rome must give land to
the winning Visigoths
The Germanic Tribes Vs. Rome
Imagine this situation. The school bully ( a really mean kid that could more than likely kick your butt at any moment) asks you to do his homework and pay for his lunch for the next two weeks. No teacher, administrator, or parent believes you. What do you do?
Now after weeks of doing his homework, you see the bully crying because he stumped his toe in the hall. Now what do you do?
The Germanic Tribes Vs. Rome
Germanic Tribes know
Rome can’t defend
itself …so what do
they do?
Some Germanic Tribes
start crossing into
Rome
The Germanic Tribes Vs. Rome
The winter of 406 is especially cold, what will
happen to the Rhine River?

Franks
The Germanic Tribes

The Germanic Tribes
Vs. Rome
Vandals
Conqueror Spain and Africa

The Germanic Tribes Vs Rome
Western Rome- Germanic leaders are put in charge of parts of the government and army

capital
Western Rome and
the Empire are no more

traditions & language
of Rome
The Germanic Tribes

the Byzantine Empire with Constantinople become the “New Rome”
Many of the wealthy
of Rome came to

Start to follow many
