Part II- I will select two of the following four questions for the final exam, and you will
be expected to answer one of them in an informative, well-organized essay.
1) “The collapse of the Roman Empire during the fifth century A.D. cast European
society and culture into a thousand-year ‘Dark Age,’ marked by the nearextinction of Western civilization.” Agree or disagree? Why?
2) Does the papacy deserve its reputation as the dominant institution of the Middle
Ages?
3) Compare/contrast the Western and Eastern (Byzantine) Empires between 300 and
800 A.D.
4) How can you see the roots of the Reformation in the late middle ages?
