The map cdn1.vox-cdn.com/assets/4822180/roman_civil_war.jpg seems to have mixed up labels for Roman Provinces and Client Kingdoms.
I feel that about half instances of the word barbaric shouldn't have been used in the article.
Also I don't see why unverifiable claims like 'Charlemagne persuaded the Pope to crown him' had to be used.
Nice, informative work besides that.
