Rome: Rise and Fall – 1,800 Years in 17 Minutes | 3D Timelapse (1000 BC – AD 800)

Watch Rome grow from a few huts on the Seven Hills to the capital of an empire of tens of millions – then shrink to a city of ruins. 1,800 years of history in one 3D timelapse: every hut, temple and street placed from archaeology and dated from the sources. Follow the whole story: the kings and the Republic, the Gauls' sack, the Punic Wars, Caesar and Augustus, the Great Fire of Nero, the Colosseum, the empire at its greatest extent, the crisis of the 3rd century, Constantine, the sacks of 410 and 455, the fall of the West – and Charlemagne crowned emperor in St Peter's in AD 800.
