Watch 'Empire Builders - Episode 3' here: • Ottomans, Mughals & Mo...
The Roman Empire was the most powerful economic, cultural, political, and military force of its time - taking its place in world history as one of the largest empires. At its height under Emperor Trajan, it covered 5 million square kilometers, holding sway over an estimated 70 million people, at that time 21% of the world's entire population, controlling large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, North Africa, and The Middle East.
For 500 years, Rome was the world's largest city. The longevity and vast extent of the empire ruled for its entirety from Rome, ensured the lasting influence of Latin and Greek language, culture, religion, inventions, architecture, philosophy, law, and forms of government on the empire's descendants.
In this episode of Empire Builders, we explore ten sites that defined the Roman Empire. We begin at the battle site of Alesia in Eastern France where Caesar defeated the Gauls in 53 BC. His adopted son, Augustus, regarded as the greatest of Roman Emperors, expanded the empire during his 41-year reign and began many grand construction projects completed in subsequent decades. Among these were magnificent temples such as the Maison Caree in Nimes, France, and arenas such as the 6,000-seat theatre that survives in Merida, Spain. The Romans also built massive and monumental aqueducts like Pont du Gard, their highest, in southern France, and giant stadiums and arenas across the empire modeled on the Colosseum in Rome.
Rome's empire was built on power and conquest. They invented the victory arch. It's not surprising Rome's ingenious and groundbreaking building methods were copied by successive European empires and still are today. Perhaps Rome's greatest building was the Pantheon but we also visit great palaces such as Diocletian Palace in Split, Croatia, and huge public baths like those of Caracalla in Rome itself.

Roman Empire is still the greatest

[@BoydXplorer]

Beautiful documentary about history of Roman Empire. Interesting to watch.

[@andrewthompson6192]

Excellent historical docu-video, great insight, information that is not normally provided in other historical videos. The narrator and historians speaking give a much more insightful expanded perspective of Roman life, war conquest, architecture, design, point and purpose, civil society, etc than the usual narration depiction.

[@pimentoso]

That IS the question to ask. How come the east survive since they were the once hit first by all the tribes who brought down the western empire? Brilliant! Never thought of that!

Excellent documentary 👏👏👏

[@sedecim]

Super hyped up documentary.

[@CrazyBrosCael]

There are some slight historical inaccuracies in this documentary, but nothing that ruins the documentary in general. Though I do feel like some parts of the information were taken from an elementary text book.

[@vernonfindlay1314]

Dr. Bill Warner has an interesting view on how the empire was vanquished. A week til Easter,have a good Easter.

[@Trustworthy_McLegitimate]

when they allowed the spread of the Mary Sue FANFICTION of Jewish Mythology among their people, the Empire crumbled.

[@shinglaiashang9433]

Many documentries about Roman Empire and each one have different agendas, sorry l'm Just passing by.

[@stefangabor5985]

No, they didn't, and there's a good reason for that. At that time, the people were very poor and lived poorly, just a little better than the primitives, and the Romans brought them civilization, which ultimately helped the people. The same is not true of the British Empire which was primarily interested in making money. Not a single concern for the local population. Very good documentary!

[@adicirstea4374]

My friend you miss something!!! Before roman empire was the tracs. Romania today, this army was created with mercenary soldiers from balcan territory so they was 1st from tracia, dacia.... Explain to the world the real facts not lie!!!

[@adicirstea4374]

Check that.... You gonna see the truth

[@alexxxaification]

So did the Incas and aztecs they were probably greater ! They had water systems, astrological monuments, calendars, etc stop claiming Rome as the greatest they fell just as hard !
