💰 Rome’s Fall: The Cost of Bad Money
When Rome collapsed, it wasn’t the barbarians who delivered the first blow.
It was the empire’s own currency.
This video explores how the denarius — once one of history’s most trusted coins — was slowly destroyed through debasement, inflation and political desperation. And how the same economic patterns echo across modern nations today.
From Augustus to Diocletian, from Weimar to Zimbabwe, from the gold standard to today’s fiat system, the story remains the same: when money collapses, civilizations follow.
