The Eastern Empire managed to divert the Visigoths into Italy, thus shoving the problem onto the Western Empire, which responded to this threat by pulling troops from the Rhine frontier. This triggered a pattern of events much like the cycle of anarchy in the third century C.E., only this time, no Aurelian or Diocletian emerged to save the Empire.
Because latitude runs from the equator to one or the other of the poles, 90 degrees. That's one-fourth of a full circle around the globe. Longitude starts at Greenwich, Englanâ¦d and runs, to the west or to the east, to the International Date Line (in the Pacific Ocean), 180 degrees.
The latitude of an arbitrary point is the angle between the equatorial plane and the radius to that point. By this definition, the latitude of north or south pole would be 90 degrees w.r.t. the equator. Hence no higher angle than 90 degrees north or south. Lattitude and Longitude are first of all not real lines but imaginary lines drawn on maps and imagined by geographists and explorers to help in navigation.
