The 5th century is the period from 401 to 500 in accordance with the Julian calendar in Anno Domini/Common Era.

Overview

This century is noted for being a time of repeated disaster and instability both internally and externally for the Western Roman Empire, which finally unravelled, and came to an end in AD 476. The west was ruled by a succession of weak emperors, and true power began to fall increasingly into the hands of powerful generals. Internal instability and pressing military problems caused by foreign invaders finally resulted in the sacking of Rome by a Visigoth army in 410. Some recovery was made in the following decades, but the Western Empire received a serious blow when another barbarian group, the Vandals occupied Carthage, capital of the extremely important province of Africa, a major supplier of wealth and grain. Attempts to retake the province were interrupted by the invasions of the Huns under Attila. After Attila's final defeat and death both Eastern and Western empires joined forces for a final assault on Vandal North Africa, but their campaign was a spectacular failure.

What were the benefits to being part of the Athenian Empire during the 5th century BC ?? (allies)?
Q. As far as the allies were concerned - how did the benifts of being part of the Athenian Empire in 5th century BC outweigh the burdens??
Asked by ~..*..SexyThang..*..~ - Mon Feb 23 12:49:39 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1) The Athenian navy kept down piracy in the Aegean. 2) The Athenians provided a widely accepted currency (the drachma) which made trade easier. 3) The Athenians sought to prevent members of their alliance from fighting with one another (which meant that the average person could do his farming without soldiers tromping all over the place). Also cut down a city's expenses 4) The Athenians encouraged their allies to open their ports to all members (free trade) which increased commerce and "grew wealth"

Asked by Isaac L - Wed Sep 26 15:07:18 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The great confrontation between Greeks and Persians began, about 500 BC. The first phase of that confrontation was the Ionian revolt of the Asiatic Greeks against Persia (despite the word Ionian, other Asiatic Greeks joined in, from the Dorian cities to the south and from the so-called Aeolian cities to the north, and the Carians, not Greeks in the full sense at all, fought among the bravest).

Since Breton is said to be derived from people who emigrated from Wales in the 5th century,and that the two?
Q. languages are similar,does that mean that the Breton language contains the Welsh 'LL' sound,and if not,is it the Breton language that's lost the sound,or is it the Welsh language that's acquired the sound since the two languages separated?
Asked by amya - Tue Jan 15 17:38:05 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is correct that the Bretons emigrated from Wales and Cornwall in the 5th century. From what I have been able to discover, the "ll" in Welsh dates back to Mid Welsh, so it developed after the departure of those immigrants.
