I want to learn about Rome. I bought History of the Decline and Fall by Gibbon, but I don’t know enough about Rome before then to contextualize. What are some good videos to get me up to speed?

christianity killed the roman empire
Evan Howard
there is a good sigourney weaver documentary called rome in the 1st century. She just reads tacitus and suetonius though.
That's all anyone ever does, because that is basically all we have. Plutarch, Livy, Cato and thats about it.
Jonathan Foster
I suggest reading a book called the Fall of Rome by Thomas Wiedemann.

Get a book and start at Mesopotamia, work your way down the line, otherwise everything historical has zero context.

Hey OP, ask /his/, but Decline and Fall isn't really considered an unbiased/top tier source by most Rome-aboos anymore. It's still worth reading though.
Benjamin Scott
Don't
Christian Foster
"caligula" the movie. Thank me later.

Romans by and large had abandoned their religion in favour of worshipping the sun and joining weird degenerate cults, if it wasn't for Christianity which emphasised self-restraint Rome would have fallen much sooner and been replaced by darker forces.

that expeditions rome game is kind of sick
Elijah Bennett
It went like this,
>Good emperor creates the Golden age
>Bad emperor shows up and fucks everything up
>Eventual civil war, good emperor shows up and fixes everything
>He dies and we have a crisis
>Repeat to AD 476
It's not worth it, you are going to realize that republic is the best system and it was destroyed, because one retard wanted to be a king (conquering Gaul was pure luck), that is all
