How did the Roman Empire collapse? What led to the end of the greatest empire in the ancient world? In this captivating video, you will discover the reasons for Rome's declineโfrom the golden age of Trajan and Pax Romana to internal crises, economic collapse, barbarian invasions, and the fateful sacking of Rome in 410 AD.
We will trace the rise of Rome from its legendary founding by Romulus and Remus, through the republic and the rule of Julius Caesar and Octavian Augustus, to the division of the empire and its fall in 476. We will examine key factors such as:
- economic collapse and inflation;
- political instability and corruption;
- military weakness and overstretch;
- climate change and pandemics;
- Christianity and the role of the Church.
Learn how Alaric sacked Rome, how the papacy rose, and why the Western Roman Empire disappeared, but its cultural legacy lives on today.
