''3. Compare and contrast the Roman Empire in the West with the Byzantine Empire.''

First of all the Byzantine Empire was more powerful. It also managed to last much longer than the Western Roman Empire, for almost another millennium. They were both sacked by Attila but the western was eventually destroyed while the Byzantine Empire first paid him tribute, and then hired his soldiers as mercenaries after Attila’s death. Byzantium was also still the birthplace of many powerful rulers and generals, General Aetius, known as, “The last True Roman” was one of the many people that rose out of the Byzantine empire, whereas the western empire was in decline and depended on the Eastern Empire to help salvage any power.

4''. Comment on the significance of the Roman language, Latin. ''  

Latin was a very important language and was, in some ways, the most advanced language yet. Also, it was easier to learn than Greek, and the speaker can express concepts more efficiently with Latin. When the Romans invaded other lands they brought Latin with them, and as a result of that Latin became more widespread and this is also why so many languages in Europe have Latin roots.
