What are the three heirs of Roman Civilization?

[johnnybriggs]

I don't know if you are looking for a specific, eminent answer.

If you are looking for an opinion: What did the Romans do for Us? Rome bequeathed Christianity (The Catholic Church), Law (or certain principles of law) and Infrastructure (Roads and Sewers etc).

Lots of this was lost and rediscovered, the Norman conquest reintroduced a Roman influence to Saxon England for example. Roads fell in and out of use but survived in places until Victorian times. Romans had advocacy and jury trials. So most of the world has been influenced by Rome.

For further information see The Life of Brian.

The three heirs to the Roman Empire after the fall of Rome were the Byzantine, the Islamic, and the Western European civilisations.
Have a look at Wikipedia..just type the above three into the search facility.

N.B. Caesar went grey though.

The Roman Empire has never really ended. It has changed into the present American/ British world power, the very last part of the 'immense image' that was prophecied in the Book of Daniel. This image was an insight into the kingdoms that would rise and fall, leading up to Armageddon. [ Dan. 2; 31-43] Daniel 2;44 then prophecies about the kingdom that God will set up with Jesus as the king.

From the prophecies in the Book of Daniel. Chapter 2, verses 31 - 35. Five Kingdoms are prophecied, the fifth and last one being the Roman Empire. This has changed from a government power to a religious power and is still in existence as the Anglo/American world power. No other powers will arise to overcome this one. However, Daniel 2;44 states that God's Kingdom will arise and overthrow this one. This all indicates that we are now living in the 'last days' prophecied in the Bible. So the three ' heirs' are : two governments, Britain and America and One religion [Christianity]
