a5c7b9f00b Rome. The greatest empire the world has ever known. This docudrama tells the story of Rome through the eyes of the empire&#39;s many adversaries who battled to see its destruction. As the Roman Empire expands, it encounters local populations that it considers &#39;barbarians&#39;, who fight back, effectively and savagely, dealing Rome one blow after another. Hannibal, Viriathus, Armenius, Spartacus and more strike back against Rome, some from without and some from within. See their struggles, their motivations, and the outcomes as these indigenous people&#39;s fight for survival, revenge and justice. &quot;Barbarians Rising&quot; offers a revolutionary perspective on the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. The traditional approach to the subject is that the Grecian &quot;civilization&quot; gave birth to the Roman &quot;civilization&quot; and eventually led the path to &quot;civilization&quot; as we know it today. This series has a different perspective, showing how the Roman &quot;civilization&quot; was an oppressor, taking lands and resources from less organized peoples and cultures, using harsh and often barbaric techniques. You may find yourself cheering for the &quot;barbarians&quot; who resemble what are traditionally known today as &quot;freedom fighters&quot;. The idea that Rome was spreading civilization is turned upside down. Instead the makers of this documentary suggest that the Romans are invaders who rape, pillage, and plunder their way around the Mediterranean seeking resources and slaves to maintain their lifestyle.<br/><br/>The series focuses on Hannibal (died 181 BCE) in Northern Africa, Viriatus (died 139 BCE) in Lusitania (Portugal), Spartacus (died in 71 BCE), Arminius (died in 21 CE) in Germany, Queen Boudica (died 60 CE) and Fritigern (died 380 CE) in Britain, Alaric (died 410 CE) of the Visigoths, Attila the Hun (died 453 CE), and Genseric (died 477 CE) of the Vandals.<br/><br/>The series is a bit blood thirsty, but so were the times. There are maps and voice overs to keep you well informed. Why would you use American military veterans to explain Roman history, European history, instead of a real and better documented historian, albeit an European one?<br/><br/>Why would you skip 2 essential pieces of Roman history like Caesar in Gaul and Trajan in Dacia?<br/><br/>Why would you discard certain historic facts and instead dramatise the outcomes? Or goals?<br/><br/>Visually an story-wise it is attractive, but historically, not.
