The Roman Empire was preceded by a 500-year-old Roman Republic. The Empire was founded by Julius Caesar's appointment as perpetual dictator (of the republic) in (44 BC). The first emperor was Octavian (Augustus Caesar) and the empire continued (and divided into an east and west part) for several hundred years. The Western Roman Empire collapsed in 476 AD and the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire ended in 1453 AD with the death of Constantine XI and the capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Roman Empire came into complete being around 27 BC. The Western Roman Empire collapsed in 476 as Romulus Augustus was forced to abdicate by Odoacer. The Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire endured until 1453 with the capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks led by Mehmed II. Therefore, it is difficult to give an exact date when the Roman Empire ceased to exist.
The Roman Empire in it's entirety lasted from 27 BC to 476 AD.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It actually was from 43BC to 410AD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Roman Empire is said to have begun when the Senate granted the title Augustus to Octavian on January 4, 27 BC. The date of the fall of the Roman Empire is usually given as 476 AD, though the empire did not really fall on that date.
The Roman Empire divided and was reunited several times, the last division being in 395. The event of 476 was the abdication of the last Emperor of the West, in favor of the Emperor of the East. But the West Roman Empire had already become a chaotic mess and never recovered. The emperors of the East Roman Empire tried to reconquer the West, but never got very far.
The East Roman Empire finally fell in 1453. Our current historians refer to the East Roman Empire from about 500 AD to 1453 as the Byzantine Empire.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rome was said to have been founded in 753 BC. Historians mark the fall of the Western Roman Empire as the deposition of emperor Romulus Augustus in 476 AD. That makes 1,229 years.
The Eastern Roman Empire, which after the fall of the Western Empire is termed by historians as the Byzantine Empire, continued to exist until 1453.
The most commonly found date for the fall of the Roman Empire is September 4, 476 AD. Specifically, what happened on that date was that Odoacer, a Germanic general in the Roman army, deposed Romulus Augustulus, widely regarded as the last emperor of the West Roman Empire.
This is certainly a date of convenience, and many modern historians are unwilling to accept it for several reasons. Some problems with using this as the end of the Roman Empire are as follows:
- The government of the East Roman Empire was still operating in Constantinople as usual.
- The Senate of Rome, which officially governed in the West Roman Empire, continued to operate, acknowledging the emperor in Constantinople as its ruler, until at at least 603 AD, when its last known act was recorded.
- Odoacer, the Germanic chief who took over most of Italy, did not dissolve the empire. Instead, he officially asked Zeno, the emperor in the East Roman Empire, to reunite the empire, and take control of the whole.
- At the time, Romulus Augustulus was officially considered an usurper. Julius Nepos, who was recognized by the senate as the emperor of the West Roman Empire, continued to rule parts of the country until he died in 480.
- The East Roman Empire, which we now call the Byzantine Empire, continued operating, and was called the Roman Empire by nearly everyone, until 1453. It was not called the Byzantine Empire until modern times.
- Almost nobody noticed any real change. The daily lives of almost everyone went on, including not only the general population, but people in the government as well.
Given these facts, it is difficult to say that Rome actually fell in 476. On the other hand, the date is as good as any, and if we have to pick a date, we might as well pick the one everyone else picks. We could argue for a different date, but in the end, it would almost certainly be no better. Imperial control declined through the entire 5th century. Some kings, such as the kings of the Vandals in North Africa, refused to acknowledge the emperor at all. Others, such as some of the kings of the Ostrogoths, Franks, and Visigoths, acknowledged the emperor and that their kingdoms were within the Roman Empire, but they gave virtually no other support. This situation existed before 476, and continued to exist after for nearly two hundred years.
Many historians today talk of the fall of the West Roman Empire, instead of the fall of the Roman Empire as a whole. But some are quite unwilling to describe it as an event that took place at a specific time in history, rather than as a process that went on for decades, at least, and possibly centuries. This said, the attack of European tribes probably went on for a considerable amount of time.
BC means Before Christ. AD mean Ado Dominion which is latin meaning in the year of our lord
