The Roman Empire wasn’t killed by barbarians—it was killed by its own money.

Rome was broke, and to pay their massive armies, Emperors committed a "Great Debasement" that triggered a 100-year economic collapse. This video explores the systemic greed and failed monetary policy that forced a superpower to its knees.

In this video, we uncover the Roman currency debasement that triggered ancient hyperinflation and societal collapse. We explore the economic strategy and political desperation behind why this happened.

In this video, we breakdown:

The Illusion of Value: The moment the silver "wash" rubbed off, trust vanished and prices for basic goods like grain skyrocketed.

A Superpower in Freefall: How hyperinflation led to starving cities and a military that refused to fight for worthless coins.

The Financial Legacy: The final collapse of Roman authority and the eternal warning of what happens when a government lies about its currency.
