This learning resource focuses on the historiographical approaches to understanding the fall of Rome, emphasizing the contrasting interpretations of two historians. Historian A presents the notion of internal decay, claiming that the empire's decline was primarily due to corruption and loss of faith among its citizens. In contrast, Historian B argues for the perspective of external invasion, emphasizing the impact of barbarian tribes overwhelming Rome's borders. Through various activities, including a comparison of shared facts and divergent interpretations, students will engage critically with both viewpoints. They will analyze evidence supporting each theory, prepare for discussions by exploring the lenses through which historians view historical events, and reflect on how these perspectives can influence the narrative of history. The resource includes detailed activities designed to deepen students' understanding of historiography and discussion of historical interpretation.
