Taking more notes on the decline of the Roman Empire in class.

     Today in class we finally finished up taking notes on the decline of the Roman Empire. We found out about the emperor Diocletian and what he attempted to fix the empire. For one he doubled the size of the army to defend the borders. He also stopped inflation by freezing prices. He ordered a general prosecution of Christians. He also divided the Empire in half. He also increased the glory of Emperor. These didn't work as expected but did stop the decline somewhat. Then came Constantine who was a big factor in the rise of Christianity. He made Christianity legal after God supposively won him a battle. Finally the Barbarians took over the empire and the west fell but the east empire, Byzanitian empire, flourished.
