This also makes it harder to argue that the Roman Empire had to adapt in the third century to face new and more dangerous threats, most of all the Sassanid Persian Empire. Does this mean that it was the sheer quantity rather than the scale of individual threats that was the problem? There is certainly do seem to have been more major wars in the third and fourth centuries of the Common Era than in earlier centuries. In particular, raiding by barbarian groups in Europe is much more prominent. Such predatory attacks, often on a small scale, were not new. In the past they had always increased in scale and frequency whenever the frontier defenses were perceived to be weak. An impression of vulnerability encouraged attacks and this makes it hard to judge whether an increase in raids and invasions was the consequence of a rise in barbarian numbers and strength or a result of Roman weakness. It is clear that all of Rome’s enemies, including the Persians, exploited the empire’s frequent internal disputes and civil wars.” Adrian Goldsworthy, “How Rome Fell: Death of a Superpower” Identify what the author’s interpretation is. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Provide 2 pieces of historical evidence from Outside The Document to SUPPORT this Interpretation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Provide 1 piece of historical evidence to Outside The Document to REFUTE, REJECT, DISMISS the author’s interpretation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ................
