[Instructor] When you hear of ancient Rome or the Roman Empire, or the Roman republic immediately images of the Roman legions come to mind.발음듣기
대기중
Some of which you can still see if you were to visit Rome and these are all real images of Rome or they're appropriately associated with it.발음듣기
대기중
And we'll talk about most of these things in some depth but Rome did not start out that way and the purpose of this video is to give us a over arching arc of the history of Rome to be able to place it within history.발음듣기
대기중
So just to make sure we can read what I did here ahead of time, up here is I have a high level timeline.발음듣기
대기중
And then down here I have a timeline that zooms in a little bit, goes into a few more details and you can see this timeline on top it's going from the eighth century BCE all the way to the fifth century CE.발음듣기
대기중
So it's covering over 1,000 years of history and I need it to cover over 1,000 years of history.발음듣기
대기중
And that doesn't even cover the entire legacy of the Roman Empire because when we get into the fourth century CE, you have a split where you have the eastern.발음듣기
대기중
And the western Roman Empire and the eastern, often known as the Byzantine Empire that goes on until 1453 CE.발음듣기
대기중
So the legacy of the Roman Empire even formally as an empire, is significant and then it continues on.발음듣기
대기중
Much of western civilization especially Europe and the Mediterranean has its foundations in the Roman Empire.발음듣기
대기중
And then before that, Greek civilization and the Roman Empire is really up there alongside the Persian Empire as one of the really great civilizations or empires and when I say great, you should take that with a grain of salt.발음듣기
대기중
Down here I have some maps that are gonna show how the Roman Empire grew and then eventually splits and declines.발음듣기
대기중
And this date 753 is the date that's often given to the founding of Rome by Romulus one of twin brothers Romulus and Remus raised by a she-wolf.발음듣기
대기중
They were abandoned and raised by the she-wolf as legend would have it and then Romulus eventually kills his brother and then becomes the first king of Rome.발음듣기
대기중
Legend would have it that Rome is named for Romulus but some historians today think well it might have been the other way around.발음듣기
대기중
You have the founding of the city of Rome but it's important to realize that at that point the founding of the city that the kingdom of Rome it wasn't a significant power on the Italian Peninsula at the time.발음듣기
대기중
Where I have this X marked, that's where Rome is and what you see in green, this is actually the Etruscan civilization and for most of this period of the Roman kingdom.발음듣기
대기중
So this period right over here it's actually the Etruscans that are dominant power and for significant fractions of this they were dominant over the Roman kingdom.발음듣기
대기중
Over the city of Rome but as we get to 509 BCE, this is when the Roman Republic is established and in this blue green color, this is the kingdom.발음듣기
대기중
The gold color, this yellow color is the republic and then the red color is when the empire gets established by Julius Caesar and his adopted son Augustus and as we get into this.발음듣기
대기중
This is when it starts to really exert itself as more of a dominant influence in the region.발음듣기
대기중
And it continues to be a dominant influence in the region for several hundred years and then as we get into the first several hundred years in the common era.발음듣기
대기중
As we get into the 200s, the 300s this is when we start to see a real decline of the Roman Empire.발음듣기
대기중
But even that's not exactly the end of the Roman Empire because in the fourth century you have the Roman Empire splitting into this eastern and western empires and the eastern later gets known as the Byzantine Empire.발음듣기
대기중
That goes on for another 1,000 years until it's, as I mentioned, I think earlier taken over by the Ottomans but to get more appreciation for how the Roman Empire grew and then eventually starts to shrink.발음듣기
대기중
So this first map, this is roughly from the third century BCE and third century BCE you might remember Rome is a republic at this time but it's not the dominant power in the Mediterranean.발음듣기
대기중
Just to give ourselves some bearings you might remember that in the later fourth century BCE that's when Alexander conquers much of or most of Greece, Macedonia, the Persian Empire.발음듣기
대기중
Which included at the time Egypt and as we get into the third century BCE, you still have the fragments of Alexanders empire but these are still significant powers in the regions.발음듣기
대기중
Which you see here in blue in North Africa and southern Spain and this period you have a series of wars between the Romans and the Carthaginians known as the Punic Wars and we'll do videos in depth on the Punic Wars.발음듣기
대기중
They're called the Punic Wars because the term Punic, it comes from what the Romans called the Phoenicians and Carthage was actually settled founded by ancient Phoenicians.발음듣기
대기중
So you can kind of consider this the Phoenician War or the descendants of the Phoenician Wars.발음듣기
대기중
But that's why it's called Punic but the Romans eventually win the multiple rounds of Punic Wars, take over their territory and eventually destroy Carthage.발음듣기
대기중
Now as we go into the first century BCE, this is when Rome goes form being a republic to an empire and it happens when the general, Julius Caesar he's able to conquer Gaul for the Roman Republic.발음듣기
대기중
And he is so powerful that when he comes back to Rome a civil war ensues and Julius Caesar is able to essentially win the civil war declare himself a dictator.발음듣기
대기중
And then his adopted son Augustus, right over here is in 27 BCE declared Emperor and that's the beginning of the Roman Empire and we keep going.발음듣기
대기중
And I think I've already mentioned it once in this video but eventually we get a split in the fourth century CE where we have eastern and western halves of the Roman Empire.발음듣기
대기중
The western side centered at Rome the eastern side centered at what was originally Byzantium renamed Constantinople.발음듣기
