What were the causes of imperial military collapse? Ferrill has several convincing arguments. One, he argues that the imperial shift from defending the borders to the establishment of militia border forces backed by strategic reserves caused a serious deterioration in the quality of the border forces, rendering them militarily inefficient and thus shrinking the effective size of the military. In turn, this led to a slow but accelerating reliance on barbarian forces who were paid as

Year of the Four Emperors Nero , in AD, was followed by a brief period of civil war (the first Roman civil war since Antony 's death in 31 BC ) known as the Year of the four emperors . Between June of 68 and December of AD, Rome witnessed the successive rise and fall of Galba Otho and Vitellius until the final accession of Vespasian , first ruler of the Flavian dynasty . This period of civil war has become emblematic of the cyclic political disturbances in the history of the Roman Empire . The military and political anarchy created by this civil war had serious implications, such as the outbreak of the Batavian rebellion Top Nero to Galba The last years of Nero 's reign were characterized by a climate of fear and terror. The city and Senate were overwhelmed by the emperor's power and suffered dearly from his paranoia . In April , the senator Caius Julius Vindex , governor of Gallia Lugdunensis and an Aquitanian romanised prince, decided on a rebellion, with the purpose of substituting Servius Sulpicius Galba , governor of Hispania Tarraconensis for Nero. Galba accepted the proposal and immediately marched on Rome.

Arther Ferrill From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from Arthur Ferrill Jump to: navigation search Arther Ferrill , now a professor emeritus of history at the University of Washington at Seattle , is also a respected expert on Ancient Rome and military history . He has written four books and is a regular contributor to The Quarterly Journal of Military History ISSN ) and other periodicals as an author and in review of other authors. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1964. In The Fall of the Roman Empire: The Military Explanation ISBN 0500274959 ), Ferrill supports the claims of Vegetius , about increased " barbarisation " and " germanisation " helping to cause the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century AD. He asserts that allowing barbarians to settle within Rome's borders, to act as a buffer zone against other barbarians, created friction and led to a decrease in the size of the Roman Empire's Borders. He also states that the Germans were recruited in such large numbers by the Western empire that they in fact changed it from a Roman to a German culture. For example, field army units would not use their helmets, the pilum was replaced, and the standard of drill declined, leading to a lack of military skill within the Empire.

The Second Punic War 218BC was probably the closest Rome actually came to being defeated, thanks in large part to Hannibal. In this scenario, the commander is in charge of Carthage's army and Hannibal is there as well under his command. How each of them fare against the still-young-but-expanding Roman Empire? The military commander is transported to Carthage a year before Hannibal sets out for Rome.

Decline of the Roman Empire From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from Roman empires end Jump to: navigation search This article is about the historiography of the decline of the Roman Empire. For a description of events, see Roman Empire . For the book by Edward Gibbon, see The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire . For the film, see The Fall of the Roman Empire (film) The Western and Eastern Roman Empires by 476 The decline of the Roman Empire refers to the societal collapse encompassing both the gradual disintegration of the political, economic, military, and other social institutions of Rome and the barbarian invasions that were its final doom. The English historian Edward Gibbon , author of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776) made this concept part of the framework of the English language, but he was not the first to speculate on why and when the Empire collapsed. "From the eighteenth century onward," Glen W. Bowersock has remarked, "we have been obsessed with the fall: it has been valued as an archetype for every perceived decline, and, hence, as a symbol for our own fears." It remains one of the greatest historical questions , and has a tradition rich in scholarly interest. In 1984, German professor
