Скачать или смотреть Why Did Rome Destroy Its Own Money? - The Coin That Killed an Empire

Imagine a superpower turning into the world’s biggest counterfeiter just to stay afloat.

In this video, we uncover the Roman currency crisis that triggered a total collapse of societal trust and economic stability. We explore the economic strategy and geopolitical desperation behind why the most powerful empire in history chose to destroy its own money.

In this video, we breakdown:

From Jagged Metal to Masterpieces: How Rome evolved from trading "Aes Rude" (ugly lumps of bronze) to creating the denarius, the original mass media that spread the Emperor’s image to the ends of the earth.

The Great Debasement: The moment emperors began "poisoning" their silver with copper—a desperate lie that started at 5% and ended with coins that were silver in name only.

Hyperinflation & Chaos: How the loss of trust led to astronomical price hikes, starving cities, and soldiers turning their swords against the very leaders who paid them in worthless metal.

Diocletian’s Last Stand: The radical reforms and price controls meant to save a dying system, and the lasting legacy of Roman coinage on every modern currency we use today.
