The partition of the Roman Empire into Western and Eastern Rome in 395 AD subsequently resulted in a different cultural development of the two empires. When the last emperor was deposed in 476 by the Germanic tribes Western Rome fell; Eastern Rome, on the other hand, was to last another 1,000 years. Accordingly the clothing also underwent a different cultural development in both areas. In what was formerly Western Rome, clothing adopted Germanic elements, while oriental components entered into Byzantine garments.
