Podcast transcript
Many things changed in Europe after the Fall of (Western) Rome in 476 AD (CE). Governments broke down. People moved to the countryside. Cities fell into ruin. Engineering and architectural skills were forgotten. Raiding and warfare were common.

And, in the eastern city of Constantinople, the Roman Empire survived for another 1000 years.
