Yes, in the Roman Empire shortly after Octavian Augustus' reign. The Jews have revisioned history to state the Roman Empire fell after the Goths came into Italy during the fourth century. They say this to downplay the significance of Christianity. After Augustus, the quality of emperors started to decay. By the time the gospel was being shared the Roman Empire was actually torturing its citizens to the point where it would start fracturing because everyone getting sick of it. The era of Classical Antiquity (Rome, Babylon, Greece, Persia, Egypt, etc.) Is the same thing we have today with modernity. What that means is that just as the Classical era turned into the Middle Ages, so to will the Modern era turn into some variation of the Middle Ages but in a different twist. So expect hyper nationalism, isolated tribes and religion slowly creeping in since this was the attributes that characterized the middle ages.
