How Rome Fell: The Collapse No One Saw Coming

The Western Roman Empire did not end with a great battle. It ended in 476 with a teenage emperor, a quiet exile and a pension. And most people alive that day barely noticed. In this video, we trace the fall of the Western Roman Empire: the crisis of the third century, the Goths at the Danube and the disaster at Adrianople, the frozen Rhine, the sack of Rome in 410, the loss of Carthage, Attila and the Huns, the murder of Aetius, and the final removal of Romulus Augustulus by Odoacer. Historians still debate when and even whether Rome truly "fell". Where details are disputed, we say so.
