There has been much discussion of Rome here over the years, and quite an increase in recent weeks. It seems everyone is an expert here. Nevertheless, (for those who do not know everything about everything) here is a highly informative, visually pleasing, and fast moving “history class”. If you don’t watch it today, I urge you to bookmark it for another day. The similarities of Rome — it’s rise and demise — with the United States of America is truly remarkable. Please … enjoy.
===============
BONUS VIDEO! Much talk also recently about the state of America’s military …. specifically, the pussification thereof. Here’s a pretty cool ten minute video about the Roman Military … the folks who made vast conquests possible. Bottom line; they didn’t f*ck around! (Somebody, please send this to that gay-loving U.S. Secretary of Defense, whatever his name is.)
THE END
Good short video, Stucky. But it was actually Crassus who crushed the slave revolt (Spartacus). Pompey came at the end and killed any escaping slaves. That was his only contribution.
The end of virtually every empire has looked the same. That is why they end.
I don’t watch youtube, so here’s a history lesson in only 20 pages

Just curious … what the hell do your two posts have to do with the topic at hand??
Maybe accidentally wrong thread. Or just another instance of bat guano (gotta be an old timer to get that reference).

What is history, but agreed upon fables? There is good reason to believe most history of antiquity was spun from almost whole cloth. It is quite possible Latin was never a living language and Rome was rarely the primary seat of the empire.
