Fern Woodsson 🌿<p>I posit that the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/WesternRomanEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WesternRomanEmpire</span></a> did not fall. Rather, over the course of the 4th century CE, the empire transitioned from the Tetrarchy into a confederation, which became gradually more diffuse until the reign of <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Justinian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Justinian</span></a>, who tried to return to a centralized state, only to be undone by a plague, allowing the decentralization to continue progressively for the next few centuries under a concept of weak, federated, and local kings who simply perceived imperium as an empty seat above them.</p>
