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.
I would not agree with the answer that says there are infinite latitudes and longitudes. For me, one latitude or longitude exists for every one degree. The northern most latitude is 90N and the southern most is 90S. This makes the total number of latitudes 90+90+1 (including 0 degree - equator) = 181. The western most longitude is 180W and the eastern most longitude is 180E; incidentally, 180W and 180E are the same longitude.
