Скачать или смотреть Why the Fall of the Roman Empire Was Not an End, but a Transformation of Europe

Why did the Roman Empire really “fall”? Was it the end of civilization, or the beginning of a profound transformation that shaped Europe for centuries to come? In this video, we explore the gradual decline of the Western Roman Empire, revealing how Rome did not vanish overnight but evolved into the foundations of medieval Europe. From the political crises of the 3rd century to the rise of Christianity and the adaptation of Germanic kingdoms, we uncover how Roman laws, culture, and ideas survived long after the last emperor was deposed.

Join Marcus, our Roman scholar, as he guides us through the streets of a fading empire, witnessing how cities, armies, and institutions adapted to new realities. Discover how the Church preserved knowledge, how local leaders filled the void left by Rome, and how the Eastern Roman Empire continued its legacy. This is not a story of collapse, but of transformation, resilience, and the enduring legacy of Rome in shaping modern Europe.
