Good Morning!
Traditionally History is periodized as follows:
Prehistory: ends the discovery of writing;
Old Age: ends with the final fall of Rome;
Middle Ages: begins with the barbarian invasions and ends with the end of feudalism;
Modern Age: begins with the strengthening of the capitalist model and ends with the French Revolution.
Contemporary Age: French Revolution to the present day. Strengthening of financial capital, abandonment of the field.
Hugs!
