| NOTES: |
The Decline of Rome (30:00) Barbarians, Malaria, Christianity, and Overextension all played a part in Rome's decline. Weber explores urban life in Rome's cities, focusing on public entertainment and the lavish lifestyle of Rome's rulers. Featured images include circuses and gladiatorial contests, and paintings and architecture of Pompeii. The Fall of Rome (30:00) Despite the reign of successful emperors such as Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius, Rome fell victim to despotism and barbarian invasions. New institutions, like the manorial system, developed as the Roman Empire drew to a close. |
