Videos: Ancient Rome
The Roman Empire.
In which John Green explores exactly when Rome went from being the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Find out how Caesar came to rule the empire, what led to him getting stabbed 23 times on the floor of the senate, and what happened in the scramble for power after his assassination. Rome's expansion took hundreds of years. The senate, the people, Rome, the caesarian section, the Julian calendar and our old friend Pompei all make appearances.
