The Division of Rome: From Superpower to Warring States
when we hear the name “Rome”, one image instantly comes to mind — that overwhelming imperial glory, unmatched military might, and the eternal city that ruled most of the ancient world for centuries.
But what many don’t know… is that this mighty empire didn’t collapse overnight.
Its fall began from within — a slow erosion that split it into two halves, East and West, before its grand pillars finally crumbled, leaving behind a patchwork of warring states.
Today, we’ll explore the story of that division — its causes, its consequences , and how it paved the way for the birth of modern Europe.
