Carthage Must Be Destroyed
An old senator ends every speech with the same line until Rome finally levels Carthage and salts the earth. Petty? Yes. Effective? Also yes.
Caesar Conquers Gaul
Eight years, a million dead, another million enslaved. He writes his own bestselling book about it. The man knows branding.
Varus Loses the Legions
Three Roman legions get ambushed in a German forest and wiped out. Augustus reportedly walks the palace banging his head, yelling 'Varus, give me back my legions!'
Trajan Builds the Empire
Rome hits its biggest size ever under a Spanish-born emperor who actually likes the people. Builds a column so tall you need binoculars to see the top.
The Sack of Rome
The Visigoths walk into the Eternal City and loot it for three days. Rome hadn't been taken in 800 years. The world is in shock.
Attila the Hun
Sweeps out of the steppe and terrorizes both halves of the Roman empire. Dies on his wedding night from a nosebleed. Anticlimactic.
