The rise of Rome

Why end in 476 AD?
editEast Rome survived for another 1000 years afterwards. There is a large lack of consistency. Constantine moved the capital in the 320s AD to Constantinople, so why didn't it end here according to this logic? Because the logic is broken and East Rome was Rome and the date should reflect that. 89.134.7.107 (talk) 08:11, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Ancient Rome is the classical era of Roman civilization so it will never extend to 1453. But it's a valid question why do we stop at 476 AD. To make this a productive discussion, please refer to reliable sources.
- One I am aware of is Mary Beard's SQPR where her core thesis is Ancient Rome ends in 212 when citizenship was extended, which is a challenge to Gibbon's traditional view. Other sources I've come across mention how the death of Ulpian soon after is the end of the classical era. If you want to argue about after these dates, that's more the issue of the use of Byzantine Empire vs Roman Empire and is not related to this article. Biz (talk) 15:55, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Proposed sentence
editHello. I am editing this page with my daughter, who is seven. She thinks we should add this:
- The Ancient Romans knew that Egyptian grains made the softest, whitest bread.
How should we put this into the article? It is her ver first time proposing a new edit here in Wikipedia. Thank you! ~2025-36764-44 (talk) 04:52, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
- We'd need a reliable source - see Wikipedia:Reliable sources - that we can cite as supporting that statement. NebY (talk) 17:20, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
