- They marked the start of the Middle Ages of European history, following the decline of the Western Roman Empire, and preceding the High Middle Ages.
- The alternative term late antiquity, for the early part of the period, emphasizes elements of continuity with the Roman Empire, while Early Middle Ages is used to emphasize developments characteristic of the earlier medieval period.
- The period saw a continuation of trends evident since late classical antiquity, including population decline, especially in urban centres, a decline of trade and increased migration.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Early Middle Ages article was read about 300,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 61: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
