The Republic Of Virtue Aflevering 5

City Of Man, City Of God Aflevering 6

In the last of the series, archaeologist and historian Richard Miles examines the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. At the height of its power, the Roman Empire extended the benefits of its civilization to a 60 million citizens and subjects in a swathe of territory that extended from Hadrian's Wall to the banks of the Euphrates. Even under the rule of mad, bad and dangerous emperors, the imperial system proved to be robust, buttressed by the support of elite families in the far-flung corners of the empire whose loyalty was ensured by a system of cultural aspiration, economic opportunity and military coercion. But the material benefits of the 'good order' delivered by Roman rule provided its citizens and subjects with the security to ask profound questions about the meaning of life, questions that the pragmatic, polytheistic Roman belief system was ill-equipped to answer. Christianity grew to fill the spiritual vacuum at the heart of Roman civilization, eventually claiming an Emperor, Constantine, as its greatest prize. The City of Man would be eclipsed the City of God.

Ancient Worlds laat het bijzondere verhaal zien van verdwenen, vernietigde en moderne samenlevingen: van het oude Irak tot Augustus’ Rome en van Fenicië en de Griekse stadsstaten tot het Damascus van vandaag. De serie onthult hoe onze voorouders ploeterden met hefbomen als religie en politiek, kunst en cultuur, oorlog en diplomatie en technologie en handel om een samenleving aan de praat te houden. Hun inzichten en blinde vlekken, hun doorbraken en impasses, hun overwinningen en rampen zijn de mijlpalen op de lange maar directe weg van de oudheid naar onze moderne wereld.
