Battle of Allia and Sack of Rome – Rise of the Republic DOCUMENTARY

Most of the documentaries on the Roman history depict Rome at the peak of its glory, during the Late Republic and Early Empire. Yet, Rome started from the humble beginnings, as a singular city-state that struggled for its survival, and was on the brink of annihilation on many occasions. During one of them, the Gallic Senones led by their king Brennus defeated the Romans at Allia and then sacked the city. After a 7 months long siege, the city and the Republic were saved by Marcus Furius Camillus, who would enter history as the second founder of Rome.

Early Rome - We defend Rome with Iron not gold. 800 years later - Gold anyone???

[TheKlawwGang]

Marcus Furius Camillus, thats one of the coolest names Ive ever heard.

There are multiple depictions of this conflict, and modern historians often disagree with the primary sources. Yet, we decided to go with Plutarch, Livy and Diodorus Siculus, and weave our narrative around their accounts. In short, it is a watershed moment of the Roman history, everything prior is almost mythical, everything after is detailed and historical. Thanks for watching, we appreciate your support. :-)

It should be noted that 4-5 centuries later when Ceasar invaded Gaul, he was surprised to find out that the druids there knew the exact date when Rome was sacked by Brennus. The Gauls were not as barbaric and as divided as the Romans thought they were and they actually had a common history although it was probably orally passed down rather than being written.

Now we have everything we need to roleplay our new Rome 2 campaign. Thanks, Kings and Generals!

I think the Alarm bell for this channel should be changed into a Goose

You guys are always good about fueling my hype for Total War.

I love that "iron protects the city not gold " line. Pure bad assery.

About the roman geese: Im inclined to agree with this story. My neighbour has some geese and believe me guys, there is no better watchdog than these geese for all that horrible sounds they make whenerer there is anyone near them. Friend or foe alike are greeted by the sound that could easily wake up everyone around.

11:33 The green, white and red sort of forming the Italian flag in the background was a nice touch. Didn't notice it until now.

"We protect Rome with iron, not gold"

[acash]

Wow, the Romans were too proud to know the truth of their conquest: "Same reason as you" The Gallic king was speaking the truth lol

[zodiac]

I can't imagine any other voice working for a series like this. When I think of a battle documentary, yours is the first thing I think of.

[rayanhey]

Every Roman was like "never again!!!" .
So let's go conquer the world

[TaeSunWoo]

The fact some of the senators stayed seated in the forum is so awesome. Romans were built different

I knew only about the episodes with the geese and then the vae victis one, but these intermingled and Camillus` story, man..this is such a great story. Or I am too much of a enthusiast of Ancient Rome!

[ArturdeSousaRocha]

Worth mentioning is the loss of Rome's state archive in the fire. Pretty much everything we know about Rome before the sack that isn't supported by archaeology comes from later reports that may have been biased due to politics or misunderstanding.

Julius Caesar: " If the gauls were united, they would conquer the world "
