Fall Asleep to the ENTIRE History of The Roman Empire

The Roman Empire was one of the greatest and most enduring civilizations in human history, rising from the city of Rome to dominate the Mediterranean world and beyond for centuries. Emerging from the ashes of the Republic under Augustus in 27 BCE, the empire expanded through conquest, diplomacy, and engineering brilliance, stretching from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to Mesopotamia. Its legions secured vast territories, its roads and aqueducts bound provinces together, and its law, architecture, and culture laid the foundations of Western civilization. Figures like Julius Caesar, Trajan, and Constantine shaped its destiny, while the grandeur of cities like Rome and Constantinople reflected its power. Yet internal corruption, economic strain, and waves of invasions eventually split the empire in two, leading to the fall of the West in 476 CE and the survival of the East as the Byzantine Empire. In this episode, we explore the rise, zenith, and fall of the Roman Empire—a story of ambition, innovation, and the timeless pursuit of power.
