The Dark Ages is a historical periodization traditionally referring to the Middle Ages, that asserts that a demographic, cultural, and economic deterioration occurred in Western Europe following the decline of the Roman Empire.
The term employs traditional light-versus-darkness imagery to contrast the era's «darkness» (lack of records) with earlier and later periods of «light» (abundance of records).The concept of a «Dark Age» originated in the 1330s with the Italian scholar Petrarch, who regarded the post-Roman centuries as «dark» compared to the light of classical antiquity.
