Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Late Antiquity" is the most appropriate term for the period from 400 CE to 1000 CE in Western Europe as it recognizes the continuity between the Roman Empire and its successor states. The term "Dark Ages" is considered outdated and carries a negative connotation of a period with no progress or knowledge. "Byzantine Age" refers specifically to the Eastern Roman Empire, and "Romanesque" describes a later architectural style and is not a term for the entire period.
