All around the mediterranean…. Not all Europe. Romans empired stopped at the Rhine and Danube, which means that more than half of Europe is not concerned. It is mostly in latin Europe (romance speaking), Italy, Spain, France, as well as Greece and parts of the Balkans that roman inprint was strong in Europe.

[@bruceburns1672]

What is amazing is the Roman economy at the time would have been massive to be able to finance and construct projects like we see here , the skills and trades on hand to do these massive construction projects would have been impressive back then and equally impressive today .

[@morecowbell235]

The skills and trades were impressive. Probably a combination of that, construction expense and slave labor to some degree has to be factored in.

[@morecowbell235]

I remember being a kid and learning about the Roman empire. It was normally taught the fall was due to dissension, attacks from other empires/nations etc. However what I am seeing more recently discussed, which is probably more accurate, is that environmental factors weakened the empire, then making it susceptible to invasion. i.e. drought and ensuing famine. A society cannot function without water. No crops, no food.

[@HistoryDose]

Love the production quality here! It's important to note that Roman Empire as the world knew it fell in 476-- I actually did a video on its last general, Stilicho, last month!

So the Eastern Roman Empire didn't exist or are we going to ignore that?

[@beniaminosani2719]

[@jdheryos4910]

You know very well the Eastern Roman Empire not only continued it flourished to such an extent that the last great Latin speaking emperor Justinian, through sheer force of will and with the help of one of the greatest Roman general's in history Belisarius, Justinian re-conquered the whole Mediterranean basin. The city of Rome fell to the Christian Visigoths yet by then the political and economic power in the Roman world had long shifted to Constantinople. Rome fell. The Empire did not.

[@rainkid1234]

You left out Hagia Sophia, the building located in the city use to be Roman empire capital, it's the first building with dome on the square base, first ever pendentive use in building, one of greatest architect archivement of the Roman.

[@mpb3481]

Tam Nguyen Istanbul or Constantinople as it was known then was made the eastern capital of the Roman Empire. It was never the capital of the whole Roman Empire. And the Hagia Sophia is more identified now with the Christian Eastern Orthodox Church & the Ottoman Empire.

[@vanmars5718]

@@mpb3481 As the clip says the Roman Empire lasted till 1453, so obviously the architectural monuments waited to be seen should had cover even the Christian era. And a correction, when the Western part of the empire collapsed the eastern part or"Byzantium " was the only indeed Roman Empire and Constantinople the capital of the whole Roman Empire.....except if there is a rule that without France Britain Spain the Roman Empire is not a whole??? Which is why this term "byzantine" came along....the westerners never digested the fact that the Roman Empire lasted so long in the hands of the Greeks without them(west Europeans) having part to the continuation of the Roman tradition

[@teseofabbri1812]

As the clip says the Roman Empire lasted till 1453, even if until recently historians of the West always put the end in 410 when the Western part fell...today is very well restored to put the end at 1453 when the Roman eastern part fell... So monuments of the after 410 era waited to be seen, so many Roman "byzantine" monuments around the Mediterranean

I wonder why there seems to be momentum to say the empire was over in 410. I find it unlikely that the "Eastern" Roman Empire called themselves Byzantine, or Easter Roman empire. Most likely they just called themselves Roman Empire.

What about Trier Germany ? I spent 2 years outside Trier with the Army , 1984- 86 . Trier celebrated its 2000th birthday in 84 . Every time they knocked down a building there , they find Roman ruins and the state takes over and preserves that sight. The Port De Negro is still standing ( Main gate ) . There is also an Amphitheater two blocks from my girls home . I went back in 2017 to see my girlfriend from Butzweiler who now lives and was born in Trier. There is an old Roman mine outside Butzweiler that has its entrances barred. I wanted to move there and I have a Roman Centurions uniform at home ( Check my face book page ) . My son is named after Julius Caesar and my grandson's name is Roman. I have a 4000 1/72 scale plastic Roman Army ( a legion ) I have collected since I was young ( I'm going on 70 ). I am now painting 1/32 scale Romans for my grandson who is 15 months old and will inherit my Legion .

Augustus took power as emperor in 27 BC, but that was not when Rome was founded. It was an "empire" after that, but this disregards the several hundred years of the Roman Republic before then, which founded Roman culture, engineering, expansion, and all the things we think of as Roman. The way it's stated in this video sounds like it began in 27 BC. Not true. It would have been more accurate to say that the Roman Republic transitioned to a dictatorship with an emperor, at 27 BC. And that's not even 100% accurate, as Caesar and Sulla were interim dictators before Augustus.
