This resource focuses on the transition from the Western Roman Empire to the Byzantine Empire, examining whether this period represents continuity, transformation, or change. Students are tasked with constructing evidence-based arguments, identifying key differences in language, religion, and law. The material includes retrieval practice questions about Roman foundations, concept mapping comparing the two empires, and advanced inquiry into the legal and bureaucratic aspects of both empires such as the Corpus Juris Civilis and Caesaropapism. It also prompts students to reflect on the implications of moving the capital and its significance in terms of continuity and change. Finally, a challenge to analyze historical trajectories encourages students to synthesize their findings into a coherent final argument regarding the fate of the Roman Empire.
