The Entire History of Rome | Full Documentary

From a small city-state on the Tiber to master of the ancient world, this is the entire history of Rome, from the founding myth of Romulus and the Roman Kingdom to the Empire that shaped the West. The Republic's rise came through the Punic Wars: Hannibal's crossing of the Alps, the catastrophe of Cannae in 216 BCE — Rome's darkest hour — and the republic's ruthless wars against Carthage, followed by the civil strife of Marius and Sulla and the ambition of Julius Caesar. With Augustus came the Empire at its peak: the Pax Romana, an age of law, legions, and engineering that stretched from Britain to Syria. Crisis nearly destroyed it — until Constantine refounded the empire and Christianity rose — and in 476 CE the West fell to barbarian kings, while Byzantium carried Rome's flame for another thousand years. This documentary traces the whole arc of Rome and the legacy it left behind in law, language, and the very foundations of Western civilisation.
