What Made The Ancient Roman Empire So Successful? | Metropolis | Timeline

Rome would never have made it into the history books without the backing of its huge military apparatus. The life and the incredible luxury the ancient city of over a million inhabitants enjoyed was only made possible through the exploitation of its colonies, a course of action that never would have been possible without its troops.

Ancient Rome is one of my interest-- this video helps to flesh out the era and to bring it more to life, at least for me. Thank you so much for uploading this, Timeline!

The idea of Rome is what made Rome. Other things like roads, aqueducts, legions and such all come from the idea. The idea is this: the Roman spirit will allow, adopt, welcome any idea/technology/ability that will make Rome as great as possible. This includes the person with said idea/technology/ability.

Learning about this in World History... It's like Timeline knows what I'm studying! I've watched a handful of these because they follow my class curriculum exactly. They bring the stories to life, making them much easier for me to understand. Thanks, Timeline!

Before I even watched I had to say one word. “Roads”. Roads enabled the military to move through the empire with ease and the quickness .

The combination of military might, engineering prowess, political organization, cultural assimilation, and economic prosperity made the ancient Roman Empire successful.

6:59 *"The lack of living space and the price of land forced people to live in narrow, cramped houses. They were dark and noisy, and stank horribly. But the tenants were still forced to pay exorbitant rents."*

...soooo 2022?

I think the big difference that allowed Rome to become an empire was when they conquered another civilization, they didn’t just leave after. They developed permanent relations and eventually incorporated them into their empire. That turned enemies into allies and constantly gave them an expanding base of troops and resources.

I'm fascinated by 🦅⚡Roman Military History 🚩. They were second to none.
From the Founding of Rome by its first 🤴 King Romulus in 753 BC the Roman Kingdom lasted till 509 BC🗡, to the Roman Republic from 509 BC–27 BC, 🐎all the way to the Early 🦅⚡and Late Empire ☧ ✝from 27 BC and continues in the Eastern Roman Empire of Byzantium untill the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 AD 🏰 and the last remaining resistance of the Empire and city of Trebizond fell in 1461 AD ⚔🛡🏹 🏇 The Roman War Machine kicked butts for roughly 2, 200 years all together. ''Roma Caput Mundi'' 🌍 🦅⚡☧ ✝☦ .

The costumes in this documentary are better than the ones in Rings of Power

Rome afforded all that she accomplished by having a great and disciplined military force of her time, conquering new lands, taxing all these lands, and near free an endless labor source; Slaves...
