Trajan | The Emperor Who Broke the World Map

Описание: In 117 AD, the Roman Empire reached a size it would never see again. This is the story of Trajan, the "Optimus Princeps"—the soldier-emperor who stretched Rome's borders from the misty hills of Scotland to the burning sands of the Persian Gulf.
But who was the man behind the marble? How did a Spanish-born general hijack the Roman throne, destroy the terrifying Kingdom of Dacia, and engineer the greatest Golden Age in ancient history?
In this documentary, we march with the legions into the "Iron Wars," witness the heist of the century, and follow Trajan to the edge of the known world—where he wept because there were no lands left to conquer.
