Your administration increases exponentially to have an effective rule over more people groups.
Especially as they absorbed more and more small people groups. Eventually get to the point where it is too big and your demand is greater than what you can produce.

Christians lamented the loss of the superpower Rome, but it turned out to be a good thing for Christianity
Definition
Christianity prospers under thriving empire. BUT it almost always outgrows the empire. (for example: the revival in China after missionaries kicked out). So the church really thrived in this culture and grew even more. Missionary work exploded.

When Ulfilas is in Cappadocia, he learns the Christian message of Eusebius of Nicomedia--an Arian promoter. He took that mission back to the Goths. So, the Goths that invaded Jerusalem, had been evangelized in Arian Christianity by Ulfilas.
He had to invent the alphabet to translate much of the Bible into Gothic. These early translations are the earliest base for the the Old English Language. Didn’t translate the warring parts of the Bible because he thought they were truculent enough.
Othanic the Goth persecuted Ulfilas and his people, so they relocated to modern day Bulgaria where they continued missions.

Emperor was to protect the pope and pope was to pray for the empire
So, after the people spread rumors of Leo being an adulterer and perjurer, Leo runs to Charlemange. Exonerates Leo of the charges, and in return, Leo sneakily crowns him.
Important to note because it make it appear that pope gives power. So, in granting the authority to be emperor to CHarlemange, Leo was securing ties to CHarlemange and elevating his position, and severing ties with the east. There already was an Empress (Irene) of the Eastern part who would have considered herself empress of the Roman empire. So this emphasizes the split.
