The Fall of the Roman Empire app for iPhone and iPad

When did the Roman Empire start to decline?....and why?

How did the emperors deal with the desperate crises they faced?

What deep-seated changes in society, religion and government marked the fall of the empire?

A sequence of maps tells the story of one of the most iconic episodes in world history. It covers the decline and fall of the Roman empire, from its height in the second century AD to the fall of the western Empire in the fifth.

The maps contain animations of the barbarian invasions and the changing borders of the empire, and clickable information points describe whats going on. The app clearly illustrates how, step-by-step, the old Roman civilization was transformed into something very different.

This app is for anyone who knows little or nothing about how the Romans built such a vast and enduring empire, and wants to find out more. It is also ideal for students aged 11-16 with full teaching guidance for using it with different age and ability levels. Appropriate suggestions for student activities are included.
