History

A period is defined as a large interval of time which has a specific characteristic and is important in history and the life of of man, it can be prehistoric like the Stone Age, copper age, Bronze Age, etc. In most of Asia, an era marks the period of each emperor or king’s reign.
In English usage it means the starting point of an age or historical period. Eras can be long such as those concerned with history, or they can be short such as those used to refer to artistic or musical styles like the Disco era or the Classical, Baroque, and Romantic eras. It’s a very confusing topic.

Easier to understand:
A period is a large interval of time with a definite characteristic while an era is a long period of time marking the start and end of an important event.
The word “period” comes from the Greek word “periodos” which means “cycle of time” while “era” comes from the Latin word “aera” which means “counters for calculation.”
While both words are sometimes used interchangeably, a period is shorter than an era although in recent times short blocks of time have also been called eras.
An era refers to a specific time period while a period may be used to refer to events that do not have any specific era or exact dates

Answer: Roman Empire - ravaged by vandals and Visigoths, weakened by the Hun attacks, divided into east and west. Gupta empire - science and mathematics as elements of civilization.

Explanation:

  • In the fifth century, the Roman Empire began to show its first symptoms of weakness. Already at the beginning of the century, vandals invaded Rome and ravaged it. Over the centuries, Rome had problems with other barbarian tribes, among which the Visigoths stood out.The invasion of the Roman Empire by the Huns significantly weakened Roman rule. One of the most significant battles between Rome and the Huns took place in the Catalan fields in 451 AD. And if the Romans came out victorious, it was a tremendous blow to the Roman Empire because they had many casualties.The Roman Empire was divided into east and west in 395 AD. The Roman emperor divided the empire into two parts for more natural control of the empire. The empire was split between his sons Honorius and Arcadius.
  • India has always been a place of great scientists and mathematicians. In the earliest times, mathematics was closely linked to religion. The ancient Indian mathematicians were both astronomers and priests. Indian mathematicians have made a significant contribution to the study of arithmetic. The Indians developed an impeccable numerical system and founded and developed an algebra that would be taken from them by the Arabs and passed on to Europe, thus opening the way to modern mathematics.
