Скачать или смотреть The Coin That Killed Rome

The Roman Empire didn’t just fall to invasions or military defeat—it destroyed itself, one coin at a time. In 64 AD, Emperor Nero had a problem. Rome had become impossibly expensive. The legions had to be paid, the citizens demanded bread and circuses, and the infrastructure required constant maintenance. But Nero also had a private appetite for excess. He was building a Golden Palace, funding lavish games that cost fortunes. With the treasury running low, Nero turned to a desperate solution: he began to quietly steal the value from the money itself.

From the opulent halls of Nero’s Golden Palace to the hyperinflationary death spiral of the Third Century Crisis, we explore how debasement destroyed the world's most trusted currency.

History is a Rorschach test, and Rome's economic collapse is the ultimate warning for the modern world. If bankruptcy happens gradually, and then suddenly...which stage are we in right now?
