Fall of Greece
- Rome beat Antiochus at the battle of Magnesia in 189BC - Third Macedonian War (172-168BC) - Rome didn't conquer much land - Rome now has most power and most land controlled
How Rome Implodes
-Public health & environmental problems - water brought to home by lead pipes ( aqueducts had been purified, but lead was thought to be better ; high death rate in wealthy class ) -People who lived on the streets - constant contact with disease -Military spending left few resources for pubic housing & maintaining roads/aqueducts -186 A.D. army strangled new Emperor & then being emperor was sold to the highest bidder - Salaries paid in food & clothing and taxes paid in food & clothing
The dark and middle ages!
-due to poor health and sanitation, diseases might spread through tribes because of trade. -Tribes or countries will be going to war with eachother over land and resources since the trade routes of Rome or now divided up.
