4 жыл бұрынRome. The state that turned from tiny settlements around the Palatine Hill in central Italy into a vast empire that ruled most of western europe and mediteranean for centuries and formed the framework for todays states.
Let us get into a journey through time, from Augustus, the first emperor of Rome, to the final ruler of the Byzantine Empire. Along the way, we'll encounter both great and terrible emperors, and witness golden and tumultuous ages.
The map shows the territory controlled by the emperor at the end of his reign.
When two or more emperors ruled jointly, it is indicated by a white line between their names.

I find it bizarre that the last western Roman Emperor was named Romulus Augustulus and the last for the east was Constantine. It's like they knew the end was near and wanted to bring it back full circle.

Imagine being able to travel from London to Jerusalem and still being in the same country, no matter if you were in Syria, Italy, Greece, Egypt, England, France, or Spain, you were in Rome still the whole time.

I’m more fascinated by the fact that we have a reasonable idea what most Western Roman emperors looked like because of the statues

"No emperor should outlive his empire", Constantine XI. The last emperor of the Romans at his last charge against the Ottomans.

Constantine XI does not get the praise he deserves. He was the last of the Emperors of the Romans, and he chose to defend his City to the last breath, when he could have run.

And yet it is amazing how long this state suffered blows of fate, remaining one of the most powerful powers of that time.

The most underrated emperor IMO: Aurelian. Guy is deserving an movie. He did nearly impossible: stitched Empire back together while it was almost entirely collapsed, and we can safely say: he saved the empire and gave it more than two centuries to exist.

Greatest empire to ever exist.

It's fascinating that even though the Roman Empire was far from being largest in the world, it was the only one to ever control the whole Mediterranean and have a lasting influence that shaped the continent and the Western world.

This doesn't even count the 700+ years of the Roman Kingdom and only the turning point of the Republic. Two thousand years of culture and history. These past few months, I've really fallen in love with Rome. Absolutely amazing

There's something very meaningful and epic about this particular video. With the busts, the music and the timeline, altogether it entails the greatness of the Roman Empire in a very grand, pictorial yet simple manner. Amazing work. 👏🏻
