The Mediterranean Region Had A Lot Of Political Strife And Cultural Changes In The Period Of 200
The Mediterranean region had a lot of political strife and cultural changes in the period of 200 – 1000 CE. With several large and powerful empires with borders very close together, there were constant conflicts. From 200-1000 CE, the Mediterranean region changed with the breaking up of the large governments into small feudal systems and continued with a wealthy patriarchal society and Christianity as a main religion.
The Mediterranean region changed with the breaking apart of large governments into a feudal system. Around 200 CE, the Roman Empire was a strong empire with a centralized power of the Senate. This elected group of patricians allowed for the control of a vast empire with many cultures. This led to a security that allowed trade to flourish. And soon after the consuls provided a strong head to the empire. But, several attempted coups and revolutions occurred. The Senate was forced to spread out the large Roman army. With its borders already too big, the army was struggling to keep invaders out. When they moved to stop the revolts, they left room for several foreign invaders. The Germanic people started to claim the outer territories of the Roman Empire. When each Arian Lord claimed his land from battle profits, he set up his manor with its outer lying territories. This started the breaking up of the large political head into the small regional heads that were common in the feudal system. As the Germanic people moved farther into the Roman Empire, more and more of the land up was broken up. Until, around 450 CE, the Roman Empire fell and became the Byzantine Empire. But the same thing that happened to the Roman Empire happened to the Byzantine Empire, with invaders coming in and taking chunks of the land away piece by piece. These feudal systems lasted to well beyond 1000 Ce.
