Analysis and Synthesis Paper: The Fall of Rome The question to be asked is what attributed to the fall of the Roman Empire? Was it the adoption of Christianity in 380 AD?

The first primary source I will be using for my paper is Herodotus’ Histories

One notable difference between the two styles of making sculptures is that the Greek ones are free-standing, meaning they are capable of standing without

According to tradition, Rome was founded by two brothers, Romulus and Remus (Coffin 169). These two brothers had no idea of how this land they founded would grow to be the grand empire it would eventually become.

and the exhibit of Albrecht Dürer who was known as aVirtuoso Printmaker. 4. The Egyptian exhibit had a dark setting to it with its historical accuracy. Being in the Egyptian exhibit was extremely exciting for me because since I am a fan of ancient Egypt, I was able to view several fragments, sculptures and tombs that once existed during that time period.
