The Post-Classical and Medieval Period

Also Known As The Middle Ages
The Post-Classical and Medieval World

The post classical, or medieval, period runs conventionally from the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 CE to the fall of Constantinople in 1453 CE, roughly a thousand years in which the political map of Eurasia was reshaped by the successor kingdoms of western Rome, the Byzantine Empire in the east, the rise and rapid expansion of Islam, and, in the century after 1200, the Mongol conquests that briefly linked much of Asia and eastern Europe under one family's rule. In western Europe the period saw the gradual formation of new kingdoms out of former Roman provinces, the spread of Christianity as the organizing framework of political and intellectual life, the rise of feudalism as a way of organizing land and military obligation, and, from around 1000 CE onward, a slow revival of towns, trade and learning often called the High Middle Ages. Historians increasingly avoid treating the period as a uniform dark age between two golden ages of antiquity and the Renaissance, since it includes the flourishing of Byzantine and Islamic civilization, major intellectual and architectural achievements across Eurasia, and deep, productive contact between Christian, Islamic and other societies through trade, translation and, at times, conflict.

Facts
Disputed
Start Year
476 1
476 CE, the conventional end of the Western Roman Empire, is the most common starting point, but some historians prefer 500 CE as a round marker, and the transition itself is regional and gradual rather than a single dated boundary.
End Year
1453 1
1453, the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, is the traditional endpoint, but some historians prefer 1492, Columbus's first Atlantic voyage, or 1500 as a round marker for the beginning of the early modern period. There is no single agreed transition.
Geographic Scope
Primarily a European periodization; the term medieval, meaning the middle age, was coined from a European vantage point to describe the centuries between antiquity and the Renaissance. The era's span also covers the rise and rapid expansion of Islam, the Byzantine Empire, and the Mongol conquests across much of Asia, but East Asian, South Asian and pre-Columbian American history are conventionally periodized on entirely different terms for these same centuries, organized around their own dynastic and civilizational sequences rather than this era's boundary events. 1

FAQs

What event does the year 476 mark at the start of the Post-Classical and Medieval Period?

In September 476 the last Western Roman emperor, Romulus, was deposed by Odoacer.

The year 476 is the conventional starting point because, in September of that year, the last Western Roman emperor, Romulus, was deposed by Odoacer, the leader of the mercenaries. The Cambridge Medieval History, a standard reference work for the period, describes this deposition in those terms. Historians use it as a convenient marker for the end of Roman rule in the West, while the Eastern Roman Empire continued, and the period is then conventionally closed by the fall of Constantinople in 1453.

Dissenting Readings (2 dissenting readings)
End Year

Jacques Le Goff's Must We Divide History Into Periods? (2015) argues against 1453 as a meaningful close to the medieval period. Le Goff holds that Western Europe underwent a long Middle Ages running from late antiquity to roughly the mid eighteenth century, and that many innovations credited to the Renaissance, in law, learning, commerce and urban life, have genuinely medieval roots, while much of medieval society persisted unchanged well past the fall of Constantinople. On this reading, a political event in the eastern Mediterranean is too narrow a marker for a transformation that, in most of Western Europe, had not yet happened.

Peter Brown's 1971 study The World of Late Antiquity reframed the centuries traditionally read as Rome's decline and fall as a period of dynamic cultural and religious innovation in its own right, arguing against treating 476 CE as a sharp break between a classical golden age and a medieval dark age.
