Everything You Got Wrong About the Roman Empire | History For Sleep

Описание: Everything you think you know about the Roman Empire probably comes from Hollywood.
Togas worn every day, gladiators dying in every match, Nero fiddling as Rome burned, Caligula making his horse a senator, Christians hunted nonstop for centuries, and barbarians crashing in as Rome drowned in decadence.

It’s dramatic. It’s memorable.
But almost all of it is wrong.

This long, calm documentary breaks down the biggest myths about ancient Rome and shows the real history behind them. You’ll learn how real gladiator fights worked, why the toga was basically a wool torture-device, why Nero didn’t touch a fiddle, how propaganda shaped Cleopatra’s entire image, and why the Empire didn’t “fall” overnight.

Some visuals in this video were created with AI because of copyright limitations, and because this slow, atmospheric style pairs well with boring history for sleep. If you enjoy long-form myth-breaking history told in a relaxing way, this will be a good one to fall asleep to.

Settle in, dim the lights, and let’s take apart everything Rome taught us… the wrong way.
