not to be invited to the wedding of Peleus andThetis. When she
turned up anyway, she was refused admittance and, in a rage, threw
a golden apple amongst the goddesses inscribed "To the
fairest."

field is narrowed down to Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite. Paris, the
son of King Priam of Troy, is selected to judge. All three try to
bribe Paris.

welcomed by Priam

DIVISION OF EMPIRE
Roman Empire 271 AD
Diocletian (ruled 284-305 CE)
The empire was reunited by Diocletian by 285 CE, but then
decided to divide into two so as to facilitate more efficient
administration. In so doing, he created theWestern Roman Empireand
theEastern Roman Empire(also known as the Byzantine Empire).
285 CE the empire had grown too vast to be ruled from the
central government atRome, so was divided.
Eastern Empire - The Byzantine Empire, continued on for 1000
years until the death of Constantine XI the fall of
Constantinopleto the Ottoman Turks in 1453 CE.
Western Roman Empire, including Rome, collapsed in 476 CE when
lastRoman emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was deposed by the Germanic
KingOdoacer(476 CE).
Fun facts about Eastern Roman Empire
Byzantine art is almost entirely focused on religion.
The official language of the Byzantine Empire was Latin until
700 CE when it was changed to Greek by Emperor Heraclius.
Constantinople was attacked and plundered by the Crusaders
during the Fourth Crusade.
The emperor often paid gold or a tribute to enemies to keep them
from attacking.
Emperor Justinian granted the rights of women to buy and own
land which was a big help to widows after their husbands had
died.
From the time of the early Roman Republic to the fall of the
Byzantine Empire, Roman rule had a major impact on Europe for
nearly 2000 years.
Dicoletian successors
Maxentius and Constantine
Following Diocletians death in 311 CE, Maxentius and Constantine
plunged the empire again into civil war in 312 CE.
CONSTANTINE(306-337 CE)
In 312 CE Constantine defeated Maxentius at the Battle of the
Milvian Bridge and became sole emperor of both the Western and
Eastern Empires. He believed that God was the key to his success
and thus encourage people to have religions, especially
Christian.
Constantinople
The city of Constantinople is called Istanbul today and is the
largest city in the country ofTurkey.
Justinian(527-565 CE)
One hardworking emperor emperor who never sleeps
Encourage education, even to some women.
Reunite Roman Empire in Constantinople.
The Code of Justinian, a compilation of all the imperial laws,
was published in 529 CE.
Placed high taxes on his people in order to pay for his armies
and building projects. In 532, this all came to a head at a chariot
race.
