Tour through an ancient Roman villa

Video:

Channel: imperium-romana
Duration: 3:13
Description: We enter the open atrium with an impluvium pond to catch the falling rainwater, then through the bedrooms with beautiful wall frescoes, past the larium shrine burning candles for the ancestors, note the unusually tidy study with scrolls and a wax tablet, into the wide open garden courtyard surrounded by a peristyle covered walkway, to the triclinium three-couch dining area, the kitchen cooking food and pantry storage, slave quarters, single sit-down toilet with sponge-stick for wiping, and finally sneaking out the back door rear slave entrance. This appears to be from the viewpoint of an ancient Roman thief casing the joint.

A history of Rome in less than 10 minutes

 

Channel: Ellie Arnold
Duration: 8:17
Description: I made this because I couldn’t find anything that covered ALL of Roman history (politically anyway) in ten minutes or less. It was a lot of work and it’s not perfect but I hope you find it useful. Historical information is mostly from my brain but also “Ancient Rome: A New History” by David Potter, especially the late Roman stuff.

Hannibal – Rome’s Worst Nightmare

 

Channel: Artiste Tunisien 01
Duration: 1:29:13
Description: It is 200 years before the birth of Christ and Rome is the new superpower of the ancient world. She believes she is invincible – but one man is destined to change that. He is a man bound by oath to avenge the wrongs inflicted on his home and, in pursuit of revenge, he will stop at nothing. Hannibal explores the man behind the myth, revealing what drove the 26-year-old to mastermind one of the most audacious military moves in history. With 40,000 soldiers and 37 elephants, he marched 1,500 miles to challenge his enemies on their own soil. It was an act so daring that few people believed it possible. Hannibal combines drama, the latest historical research and state-of-the-art CGI to bring this spectacular story to life. Hannibal – Rome’s Worst Nightmare.
