Conquering and controlling the Roman Empire, an Empire that stretched the ancient western world. Roman Army was ruthless, disciplined and feared by all. Not only by its enemies but also by Roman Emperors who often paid the price of the Roman army’s wrath. And yet these soldiers were builders, as long as destroyers, helping to spread the Roman culture that, along with the ancient Greek one, became the bedrock of the Western Civilization. What was it that made Roman army so dominant? How was Roman Army able to rule and reshape the classical world? Why did they eventually fall? This Roman Empire Documentary is the story of the Roman War machine. This world history documentary, a great Roman Empire Documentary, focus, among others, on • The Gallic Wars • Julius Caesar (his path to power, Julius Caesar and Cleopatra and his assassination) • The Roman Civil War • Octavian and Marko Antonio war • Augustus, the founder of the Roman Empire and its first Emperor • Claudius and the conquest of Britain. The Gallic Wars were a series of military campaigns waged by the Roman proconsul Julius Caesar against several Gallic tribes. Rome's war against the Gallic tribes lasted from 58 BC to 50 BC and culminated in the decisive Battle of Alesia in 52 BC, in which a complete Roman victory resulted in the expansion of the Roman Republic over the whole of Gaul (mainly present day France and Belgium). While militarily just as strong as the Romans, the internal division between the Gallic tribes guaranteed an easy victory for Caesar, and Vercingetorix's attempt to unite the Gauls against Roman invasion came too late. The Gallic Wars paved the way for Julius Caesar to become the sole ruler of the Roman Republic. Although Caesar portrayed this invasion as being a preemptive and defensive action, most historians agree that the wars were fought primarily to boost Caesar's political career and to pay off his massive debts. Still, Gaul was of significant military importance to the Romans, as they had been attacked several times by native tribes both indigenous to Gaul and farther to the north. Conquering Gaul allowed Rome to secure the natural border of the river Rhine. These achievements granted him unmatched military power and threatened to eclipse the standing of Pompey, who had realigned himself with the Senate after the death of Crassus in 53 BC. With the Gallic Wars concluded, the Senate ordered Caesar to step down from his military command and return to Rome. Caesar refused the order, and instead marked his defiance in 49 BC by crossing the Rubicon with a legion, leaving his province and illegally entering Roman Italy under arms. Civil war resulted, and Caesar's victory in the war put him in an unrivaled position of power and influence.
