Mary Beard On The Insane Origins Of The Roman Empire
Best History Documentaries
71,999 views
The story of the Roman Empire is often told through grand marble columns and sweeping military conquests, but the true reality on the ground was far more complex, improvised, and brutal than the legends suggest. Long before the Colosseum was built, the early Romans laid the foundations of a global superpower using unique strategies of assimilation, massive infrastructure projects, and an aggressive military machine.
00:00 - Episode 1
From the bloody myths of Romulus and Remus to the rise of historic titans, Mary explores how Rome transformed the western world. Discover how a culture hardwired for conquest took down rival superpowers like Carthage, and how the weight of its own territory fractured its democracy, paving the way for Julius Caesar, a chaotic civil war, and the birth of Rome's first emperor, Augustus.
58:00 - Episode 2
This is the story of ancient globalization; from an 80,000 km network of superhighways and mind-boggling aqueducts to a massive single-currency oil economy. But beneath the glittering surface of wealth and luxury in cities like Ephesus lies a dark, uncomfortable truth.

And grotesquely moronic rich people,
Who get rich by subjecting their employees to dangerous working conditions with little care for their
safety, with many of their employees
Being maimed or killed…..
Была конференция воинствующих провинций, и римские легионы постоянно их грабили, а для подавления восстаний - практически постоянно с ними воевали.
В итоге кончилось тем, что провинции превратились в отдельные государства.
