Example Question #32 : The Later Roman Empire (284 476 Ce)
What expedition marked the end of Constantine's reign over Rome?
The British Expedition
None of these
Capture of the Vikings
The Armenian Expedition
The Hun Expedition
The British Expedition
The only correct answer here is the British expedition which marks the end of Constantine's favorable rule over Rome. The Hun expedition did not occur until Theodosius took reign. You may have chosen the Armenian expedition because of the close geographic location of the countries. If you chose the Viking option, remember to think about the time frame of Constantine's rule

The Crisis of the Third Century had made it abundantly clear to Rome’s ruling class that the size of the empire had grown too unwieldy. The Emperor Diocletian came up with a solution to this problem in 285 CE, when he divided the Roman Empire into an eastern empire and a western empire. The Western Roman Empire would continue for another couple of centuries, whilst the Eastern Roman Empire would persist for more than a thousand years.
