The Long, Quiet Decline of the Roman Senate — How Rome’s Greatest Institution Slowly Fell

For more than 500 years, the Roman Senate stood at the center of Western political history. But its fall did not come with a single battle, a dramatic speech, or one decisive moment. Instead, it was a long, quiet decline — shaped by ambition, civil war, power struggles, and the rise of extraordinary individuals who reshaped Rome forever.

In this full-length documentary, we explore the hidden story behind the Senate’s erosion:
• how its authority rose and collapsed
• how internal divisions weakened the Republic
• how Sulla, Caesar, and Augustus transformed Roman politics
• why the Senate continued to exist even after losing real power
• and how this ancient institution still influences political ideas today
