My last blog post is going to be about the fall of Rome. Rome fell when invaders swept through the empire during the A.D. 400's. Both Diocletian and Constantine failed to save the roman empire. First the Visigoths invaded Rome until the Romans gave them everything worth a lot of money. The Visigoths finally got defeated when a 14 year old boy over powered them. His name was Romulus Augustus. Before this happened a man named odoacer coverthrew the western empire.
For my third blog post I'm going to talk about Roman influence on culture. Rome influenced today's alphabet which went from 22 letters to 26 letters. It is used Through out the western world. Also Romes Latin language shaped Italy's,France's,Spain's,Portugal's,and and Romania's language. Many English words also come from Latin Phrases. Another influence on its culture was its art unlike the Greeks who made their emperors look perfect. The roman's made their statues look just like the emperor. Rome still has influence on culture today.
