The Arabs Sack Rome

This documentary recounts the little-known Arab raid on Rome in the ninth century, when seaborne forces struck at the heart of Christendom. It sets the attack within the wider clash of empires and faiths that shaped the early medieval Mediterranean. Drawing on the historical record, it explores how such a bold assault was possible and what it meant for the era. Concise and engaging, it shines light on a dramatic episode often left out of the story. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
