CEVAP:

On 25 December 800, Pope Leo crowned Charlemagne ‘the Emperor of the West’ in St.Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Charlemagne and Leo wanted to revive the glories of the Roman Empire and founded the Holy Roman Empire. It survived from 1254 to 1806 and reflected the desire to merge the formerly barbaric Germans with Christian and Roman elements into a rising new civilization: Western civilization.
