A short, humorous, animated history of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire

What can God do in your life with one Bible verse a day?

Subscribe to Aleteia's new service and bring Scripture into your morning:
Just one verse each day.

This 20-minute video from Arzamas surveys 12 centuries of Roman history, from the city’s beginnings as a tiny settlement along the River Tiber to its position as the center of a great world empire and then a former great world empire.

Cleverly and humorously animated, the video is a crash course in everything you learned about Ancient Rome and may have forgotten.
