Dark Ages

The Dark Ages were a period in Earth history brought about by the fall of the Roman Empire.

In 2364, crewmembers from the USS Centurion and USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) discussed parallels between the history of the Roman Empire on Earth and the Magna Roman Empire. Data brought up how the Dark Ages followed the Empire's fall while Marcus Volcinius said that Magna Roma's empire prospered.
