In this history documentary we explore Rome's Medals of Honor. This ranges from minor awards for individuals, to major awards for the great deeds of generals, and unit level decorations. We begin with the origins of these medals of honor during the rise of Rome in the years of the early Republic. This includes famous stories of great heroes such as the case of Titus Manlius Torquatus who defeated a Gaul in single combat before both armies. We then cover how this system of awards matured in the late Roman Republic, eventually becoming institutionalized in the years of the Roman Empire. The history documentary then reviews all the major awards, how they were distributed, and how they were displayed.
