Roman Starter Kit
Image #1: I chose a picture of a purple toga because only emperors were allowed to wear anything purple back then. If you were not an emperor and you were wearing purple, you would be executed.
Image #2: I chose a picture of a poisonous snake because Elagabalus, when giving out lottery tickets, would throw poisonous snakes out into the crowd of people.
Image #3: I chose a picture of the Christianity symbol. Constantine converted over 90 percent of the ancient Romans to the religion of Christianity. Constantine saw this symbol up in the sky before he went to battle. He became a follower of Christianity, and writing the symbol on his shields and flags helped him win the battle and take control over Rome.
Image #4: I chose a picture of the Tetrarchy that Diocletian created because it helped out Rome because it was easier to control the land than to have one person take control over all of Rome.

Western Rome Falling
One reason why Western Rome fell was because Barbarian tribes invaded Rome which caused the government and economics to fall, which later than effected the falling of Rome. Another reason why Rome fell was because the Eastern part of Rome was rising. This caused the Eastern to have all of the wealth, and the Western didn't have a good economy. A reason why it fell was because Military overspending. They had to much land and the invaders could steal it very easily. Another reason is the weakening of the legions. This caused the Western part to Rome to fall because they were unable to recruit people for the military.
