The
Collapse:
476CE
From its early days as a monarchy, through the Republic and
the Roman Empire, Rome lasted a millennium ... or two.
Those who opt for two millennia date the Fall of Rome to
1453 when the Ottoman Turks took Byzantium
(Constantinople). Those who opt for one millennium, agree
with Roman historian Edward Gibbon. Edward Gibbon dated
the Fall to September 4, A.D. 476 when a so-called barbarian
named Odoacer (a Germanic leader in the Roman army),
deposed the last western Roman emperor, Romulus
Augustulus, who was probably partly of Germanic ancestry.
Odoacer considered Romulus so paltry a threat he didn't even
bother to assassinate him, but sent him into retirement.
