Istoria Romei: de la Republică la Dictatură

In 280 BC, Rome was a regional power with ambitions. Carthage controlled western trade, Hellenistic kings shared in Alexander's legacy, and Greek cities remained the standard of ancient civilization. No one spoke the name of Rome as a serious threat. In less than two and a half centuries, all that changed. Rome became the only name that mattered in the Mediterranean world—and paid a huge price for it: deep social fractures, institutions forced beyond their limits, and ultimately the collapse of the republic it had built. Episode 2 follows the path from the first clashes with the Hellenistic world to the assassination of Julius Caesar. A story of conquest and, at the same time, disintegration.
