Ancient Rome came before medieval times. Rome was founded in 753 BCE, and the first medieval period began in the 5th century CE.<\/p>\n

The Middle Ages came first, with Ancient Rome coming later.<\/p>\n

Which was first Roman or medieval? <\/h2>\n

The Middle Ages was a time of great upheaval in Europe. The Roman Empire fell in the 5th century, and the resulting power vacuum was filled by a series of barbarian invasions. Over the next centuries, these invaders slowly assimilated into the existing cultures, giving rise to the distinct medieval cultures that characterized the Middle Ages. In the 13th century, the Renaissance began to emerge in Europe, ushering in a new era of history.<\/p>\n

Many historians have long viewed the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century CE as the end of the ancient world and the beginning of the Middle Ages. However, this view is inaccurate, as the Middle Ages actually began much earlier. Petrarch’s assertion that the Middle Ages began in the 14th century is more accurate. Therefore, the fall of the Western Roman Empire does not mark the end of the ancient world, but rather the beginning of the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n
