EP 1 - ROMA E O REINO DOS CÉUS | A QUEDA DE JERUSALÉM

The birth of the Roman Empire was marked by wars and bloodshed. At the center of the fighting was the assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March in 44 BC, at the hands of some of his most trusted friends. This was followed by a season of internal conflict, culminating in the coronation of Caesar's adopted son Octavian as Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of Rome. Rome dominated the world, covering millions of square miles of territory at its height, empowered by its ruthless military force. But within the folds of this new empire, another kingdom was born. One that was founded on peace and self-sacrifice. One that rejected bloodshed and cultivated relationships. While Rome was hedonistic and militaristic, this new kingdom was spiritual. Join us as we look at the birth of the Roman Empire and the birth of the Christian church, exploring how each movement impacted and changed the world.
