Скачать или смотреть The Man Who Nearly Destroyed Rome: Seianus and the Praetorian Plot

In 20 CE, a single man came closer than anyone else to overthrowing Rome’s ruling dynasty without wearing the imperial crown.

This documentary explores the rise and fall of Lucius Aelius Seianus, the powerful Praetorian Prefect whose ambition, deception, and political murders nearly destroyed the Julio-Claudian dynasty. From the poisoning of the imperial heir Drusus, to the exile of Agrippina and Nero Caesar, Seianus ruled Rome from the shadows while Emperor Tiberius isolated himself on Capri.

We follow Seianus’ transformation of the Praetorian Guard into a political weapon, his manipulation of treason trials, and the masterful deception that ultimately led to his sudden arrest and execution in 31 CE.

This is the story of how absolute power almost passed to a man who was never emperor—and how Rome narrowly escaped catastrophe.
