"Only Clergy"

Well, it has been shown that an increase in food leads to an increase in the populace, which leads to an increase in specialization

You mean the people who did Science engineering and Philosophy🤦🏿 in that time frame

The cold period between romes warm period, and the enlightenments warm period. Constant wars. And the plague gave to much for common citizenry to worry about

"Constant Wars"

And the clergy didnt share often

The bottom end of the Maslow's Hierachy of Needs illustrates well just how money/resources works into advancement of individuals and society as a whole.

Pope Urban the Second Unified Europe like it never had before

Yes of the vying warlords trying to get their piece, the moor invasion, viking raids

More food, housing, safety, etc. leads to more time doing other stuff.

Everything past the bare minimum is only allowed because efficiency of food, housing, and safety production.

Europe was a mess after the fall of rome politically. It left a huge power vacuum

Change my mind: The Holy Roman Empire was better at managing Europe than the EU

That is a hard pick

Probably never studdied much of the hre

hre?

But i know my roman and the fall

Holy roman empire

You already off to a bad start

If managing means stability, sure. If managing means a good place to exist? Nope.

with why it fell

Lol the fall began with julies not relenquishing the emperitor role. And a series of events after continued this

<:pepe_eyes:378719408362881024>

Holy Shit

Can you not speak in enlightenment narratives

or is that impossible

Lmao

Im being serious

I have seen people make hypothesis on why, but to make a claim like that....

Im sure your Veiw of Julius Cesar is based on what Shakespeare wrote about him as well

Nope

I got to crash

The fact julius abandoned the republics law and didnt reliquish power was the start. But it was a slow fall. Compounded by the split of east and west, following a series of horrible emperors, wars that stretched on far to long. Over expansion. Conquered people not assimulating enough, or at all. The roman army becoming majority auxillary foriegn groups. And ending in the west almost bankrupting, disease, hunger and the invasiom of the goths

Not trying to be a dick

Nah I'd say the fall started with Commodus

I know i come off as abrasive

Oh commudus was one of those horrrid emperors

have a good night

Yep. You have the 5 good empowers ending with Commodus

His father was decent but abandoning the tradition of succession for his son who was ill fit was a horrid mistake

Also considered the golden age of rome
