What I learned in class this week

Well, this week I have learned a lot. I learned about the Roman Empire, and about Christianity. And how the Roman Empire had their ups and downs. They didn't want Christians in the Roman Empire, but in the end it ended up being their "official" religion. I learned about who Constantine was. Which basically he was an emperor. Constantine was the one who suggested to make Christianity their "official" religion. But not too long after the Empire started to fall apart, because it got too big. So they decided to split the Empire into two empires, the East and West. The Western part falls apart, but the Eastern part stays strong. The Empire's capital was moved from Rome to Byzantium (which later was named Constantinople) The West went through the Dark Ages. So invaders started to come down into the empire. That is what I learned this week.
