WHAT DOES POSTCLASSIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

postclassic

Post-classical history

Post-classical history is the period of time that immediately followed ancient history. Depending on the continent, the era generally falls between the years AD 200-600 and AD 1200–1500. The major classical civilizations the era follows are Han China, the Western Roman Empire, the Gupta Empire, and the Sasanian Empire. The post-classical era itself was followed by the early modern era, and forms the middle period in a three-period division of world history: ancient, post-classical, and modern. The era is thought to be characterized by invasions from Central Asia, the development of the great world religions, and of networks of trade and military contact between civilizations. The name of this era of history derives from classical antiquity of Europe. In European history, "post-classical" is synonymous with the medieval time or Middle Ages, the period of history from around the 5th century to the 15th century. In Europe, the fall of the Western Roman Empire saw the depopulation, deurbanization, and limited learning of the "Dark Ages", but gradually revived somewhat under the institutions of feudalism and a powerful Catholic Church.
