- In 395 AD, the Emperor Theodosius divided the Empire between his sons Arcadius and Honorius. It was divided into:

• The Eastern Roman Empire: the richest and most populous part, where emperors maintained their authority and defended themselves from the barbarians.

• The Western Roman Empire: the poorest part, which the emperors could not protect.

*We still have many remains of the Roman Empire in our world today:

-Many roads still follow the routes of roman roads. -The latin language still survives:

• The academic names of flowers and animals.

• Many schools, football clubs and coins.
• The names of the months and the names of the planets.
• The French, Italian and Spanich languages are all based on latin.
