I just took the Ancient Rome Test and I have to say, I think I did pretty good. I think I finally learned how to be successful at a test but I might be talking too soon.
Anyway, here are the notes for page 350 - 357.
The gradual decline of the Roman Empire ushered in an era of European history called the Middle Ages. Repeated invasions and constant warfare caused a series of changes that altered the economy, government, and culture.
The Germans started to invade the Roman Empire. Since merchants faced constant invasions, money became scarce. Cities were abandoned as centers of administration. Roman cities were left without strong leadership. Some citizens fled to the countryside and started to grow their own food.
