After this lot the question was not if the Roman Empire would fall, but when. The fact that the Eastern Empire managed to last another 1000 years was a miracle. Any betting man at the end of the 4th century would have been smart to bet none of the two halves would survive another century, because that&#039;s how bad things looked at that time.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1065681[/ATTACH]</p><p>Valens[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
