Rome | The World's First Superpower | Total War (Episode 2)

A 2014 Channel 5 History Documentary hosted by Larry Lamb.

Episode 2: Larry Lamb reveals how the Roman Empire became the dominant power in the Mediterranean. Beginning his quest at the Roma Termini train station in central Rome, he learns how the city was attacked by the Gauls in the Battle of the Allia, fought roughly 400 years BC. The city of Rome was sacked and razed to the ground by the Gauls who also killed many of its citizens, which led to the construction of a great wall to protect the city from future raids. This three-year conflict inflicted great losses and damage. The city survived, but only just and the leaders vowed to never come so close to destruction again. The Republic soon began a century of expansion

Note: However, the main focus of this episode are the Punic Wars and Carthage.
