How Rome Went From Ruling the World to Ruins

For nearly 2,000 years, Rome shaped the world — then it fell apart. This is the full story: the glory, the crisis, the emperors who tried to save it, the barbarians who broke it, and the surprising truth about what "the fall" really means. Step inside history. You're a legionary on Hadrian's Wall, a guardsman watching the Salarian Gate fall, a farmer chained to the land by Diocletian's taxes. Every scene is exactly 5 seconds — 108 cinematic moments, one epic collapse.
