One of the main goals of this channel here is, to shed some light on the extreme complexity of the Fall of the Roman Empire, and to debunk some common misconceptions associated with it. And a common misconception that I often hear or read is, that Rome had ceased to be the capital of the western roman empire, and that first Mediolanum, and later Ravenna would become the capital of the western roman empire, starting from the late 3rd century onwards. I am going to argue in this video, that this is not entirely true, and we shall see that in fact especially in the last decades of the western empire, Rome would once again be not only the symbolic capital, but also the real imperial seat of the western emperors.
