Rome's emperors, sometimes brilliant, sometimes mad.

基礎受動態

But Rome wasn't always ruled by these dictators.

Once it was a largely democratic society.

Its leaders were elected, and no one could hold too much power.

They called it the Republic, and it lasted for 500 years.

So why did Rome give up on this apparently fair society

It's a story that begins with a small boy a long, long time ago.

behold, in death, your most trustworthy soldier,

Young Tiberius, your father will be praised

In an age before Rome was ruled by emperors,

young Tiberius Gracchus had been brought up to respect his father's principles

But in Just 20 years, he will die defending his father's ideals.

Murdered by the aristocrats standing behind him.

His crime, starting a revolution so powerful, it changed Rome forever,

setting it on the path to its greatest triumphs and worst excesses.

He was a great man, Tiberius. Don't be sad.

Tiberius Gracchus was to make his first mark on history

Rome was preparing for the final assault on its arch rival, Carthage.

rested on the shoulders of General Scipio Aemilianus.

Laelius, you will be ready to advance your units along this front,

- immediately I give the command. No delays. - Yes, Consul.

You won't learn anything from over there, Tiberius.

and whoever scales the wall first will win the golden crown.

The Roman people have waited long enough.

Tomorrow, we'll assert justice over tyranny, decency over a barbaric people.

It will be a victory for civilisation, for Rome and the Republic.

And I want to be first over the wall tomorrow.

Your mother would be very proud. She has great hopes for you.

You won't. You have your father's blood in your veins.

had been locked in conflict for 120 years.

Now, the victor would take control of the ancient world.

Inside the city walls, the Romans became locked in a bitter fight for every street.

To break the deadlock, Aemilianus ordered the city to be burnt.

Ancient sources describe how the streets ran with blood.

But eventually, after six days of brutal fighting, the Carthaginians surrendered.

This is your day, Tiberius. Hold your head high.

From now on, nothing can challenge the power of Rome!

But we're not finished. I want this damn city taken apart.

Reduce it to dust. And we'll plough the dust with salt,

so not even weeds will grow in memory of Carthage.

Carthage was utterly razed to the ground.

In a few months, nothing was left of this great civilisation.

Its wealth was looted, and its survivors sold into slavery.

Rome would now reign supreme for the next 600 years.

But its rulers'greed was sowing the seeds of the Republic's ultimate destruction.

that hardly seemed worthy of its new position as capital of the ancient world.

While the rich were growing fat on the spoils from Carthage,

Rome's streets were overflowing with the poor.

How disgusting. Why do they keep coming into the city?

You must see what Aemilianus has brought me from Carthage.

Soon we won't be able to go out at night if they keep flooding in.

Hmm, most of them do nothing for a living. Rome's become a cesspit.

Rome's overflowing with the unwashed these days and I blame you.

Destroyed the one thing that kept the plebs in their place.

Nothing like the fear of an enemy to keep the plebs under control.

Perhaps, Nasica, we should create a new enemy,

a new fear to put them back in their place.

That's not a bad idea by your standards, Pulcher.

Carthage didn't just keep the plebs under control,
