Channel: History Documentary Films
Duration: 43:11
Description:
This ancient Rome documentary, an ancient war documentary, is about the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire and covers how Gaius Marius, a Roman general who had no connection with aristocracy won the barbarian tribes.
Ancient Rome from a small republic, it grows into one of the greatest empires ever known lasting for over six hundred years. As its height it stretches from London to Baghdad, projecting its power with the first professional army and creating the model of the Western Civilization. And yet when the Empire begins to falter, it collapses with shocking speed as it takes only a hundred years for the imperial edifices of Rome to vanish like smoke. Swept away by the barbarian invasions. How did this happen?
This ancient history documentary about the ancient Rome Empire is part of a thirteen hour series which focuses on the Germanic, Britannic and other barbarian tribal wars with Rome. These ancient wars and brutal ancient battles finally led to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
This ancient history documentary film focuses on the ancient war campaigns and ancient battles with the barbarian tribes and extensive examinations of the reigns of little known Roman emperors and generals. The significance and structures of key barbarian tribes and the roles their leaders played are explored in detail. Territorial changes to the Roman Empire caused by unrelenting wars, plagues, mass starvation’s and power struggles are presented in chronological historical context with extensive re-enactments.
This history documentary finally examines how the continuous ancient wars and ancient battles with the barbarians and depletion of resources became a core cause of the Roman Empire’s decline and eventual collapse.

This ancient history documentary about Rome covers the First Barbarian War.
By 113 BC, Rome has become master of the entire Mediterranean basin. Aristocracy’s failure to deal with the Barbarians has led Gaius Marius, a Roman general with humble background, to defeat the invading Germanic Barbarian tribes, for which he was called “the third founder of Rome. Gaius Marius was noted for his important reforms of Roman armies, authorizing recruitment of landless citizens, eliminating the manipular military formations, and reorganizing the structure of the legions into separate cohorts. His life and career were significant in Rome’s transformation from Republic to Empire.
This ancient history documentary, Rome- Rise and Fall of and Empire, uses Plutarch as a source.

Echoes of Ancient Rome – “The Temple of Jupiter”

 

Channel: Michael Levy
Duration: 0:3
Description: A live performance of “The Temple of Jupiter” – an original composition for solo lyre by Michael Levy (Track 5, “Echoes of Ancient Rome”). Unlike ancient Greece, where at least 60 fragments of ancient Greek music have been preserved, only one pitiful shard of written music has survived from ancient Rome – a tiny measure by a Roman composer named Flaccus, wrote for the play “Hecyra” by Terence (& even this tiny fragment is no longer deemed to be authentic, according the musicologist Thomas J. Mathiesen). However, since Rome borrowed so much from the culture of ancient Greece, in attempting to recreate an evocation of the lost music of ancient Rome, it is most likely that the Roman composers of antiquity also used the ancient Greek musical modes. In these releases for solo lyre, therefore, Michael has attempted to recreate the lost music of ancient Rome, with original compositions for solo kithara-style lyre, in a selection of some of the original ancient Greek Modes, using lyre playing techniques authentically based on both archaeological pictorial sources & lyre playing techniques still surviving today in Africa. A free, fully illustrated PDF booklet of the album notes of “Echoes of Ancient Rome” can be download here:
http://www.ancientlyre.com/publicfiles/Echoes_of_Ancient_Rome.pdf
Michael will be performing his evocation of the lost musc of ancient Rome, live at the British Museum on 17th June, as part of the “Life & Death in Pompeii & Herculaneum” exhibition.
Tracks from Michael’s Roman-themed albums, “Echoes of Ancient Rome” & “Ode To Ancient Rome” wil alos be used in support of a new display on Roman Dining, in Room 3 of the British Museum – physical CDs of Michael’s Roman-themed albums, “Echoes of Ancient Rome” & “Ode To Ancient Rome” will soon be available to purchase from the British Museum Shop.
