<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 7939232, member: 87200&quot;]This theory kind of corresponds to the period termed &quot;Late Antiquity&quot; by Peter Brown. He argues that a certain dynamism remained even after &quot;Rome&quot; fell. </p><p><br /></p><p>He is Rollins Professor of History Emeritus at Princeton University. He is credited with having brought coherence to the field of Late Antiquity, and is sometimes regarded as the inventor of the field. His work has concerned, in particular, the religious culture of the later Roman Empire and early medieval Europe, and the relation between religion and society.</p><p><br /></p><p>One also could make a case that the idea of the Roman Empire remained until the year 800, when Charlemagne was crowned holy roman emperor by the pope, largely because he regarded the rule of Irene in Constantinople as illegitimate as she was a woman. Prior to that the kings and chieftains of Barbarian Europe acknowledged the suzerainty of the Byzantine emperor as at least, a representative figure of Roman power.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
