How Ancient Rome Created Modern Europe
This documentary traces how ancient Rome, rising from a swampy settlement, grew to dominate Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East and lay the foundations of modern civilisation. It examines the military efficiency of the Roman legions and the systems of law, engineering, and governance that outlasted the empire itself. The film shows how thoroughly Rome shaped the world we still live in. Clear and sweeping, it makes the roots of Europe vivid and understandable. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
