10 Moments That Made ROME Unstoppable (and 1 That Ended It) It began as a muddy little village on seven hills by a river - a few thousand farmers, shepherds, and exiles surrounded by stronger enemies who should have wiped them off the map. Instead, that village became the greatest empire the world had ever seen. So how did it happen? How does a tiny town on a river end up ruling the known world for a thousand years? In this calm, sleep-friendly history documentary, we walk slowly through the 10 turning points that took Rome from a fragile settlement to an unstoppable empire - and the one final moment that finally brought it all crashing down.
