My first documentary about Rome
7 April 2016
Rome Rise and Fall of an Empire is a great summary of the whole Roman history in 13 episodes. In more details, this mini-series show us how the empire we all know came to being and why it fell at the end. To see the civilization who is the basics for our own who it worked was a big experience for me. As it is visible from my summary, this was my very first documentary about the Roman Empire and it open my eyes to its greatness and flaws, which ironically mirrored our own. I am Greek and here the idea about religion is that it is flawless, perfect and the people who killed Jesus were horrible and in our history books it is even worse, for real. The Romans are showed as the enemy of Christianity and when they converted they became better.Are you mental me? So you can see why this series had a lasting impression on me. With out this I may have not become a history buff and be in the end ME. But I digress all in all it is a good documentary series and you should definitely watch it.You will after remember it with happiness.
