Question

Can someone please help me answer this question
Historians traditionally date the end of the Roman Empire to 476 AD. Why is this? Is this
a good date to use for the end of Rome? Why or why not? Does this date adequately capture the
end of the so­called “Greco­Roman” world? Responses which include a wide array of material
from this period will more thoroughly address the question

Answer 2

Certainly, Greco-Roman influence did not end with the collapse of the Roman Empire:
