The Fall of the Roman Empire altyazı (266470)

1
00:04:00,250 --> 00:04:02,290
Two of the greatest problems in history

2
00:04:02,585 --> 00:04:05,138
are how to account for the rise of Rome

3
00:04:05,453 --> 00:04:08,258
and how to account for her fall.

4
00:04:08,590 --> 00:04:10,979
We may come nearer to understanding
the truth,

5
00:04:11,293 --> 00:04:12,984
if we remember that the fall of Rome,

6
00:04:13,264 --> 00:04:14,474
like her rise,

7
00:04:14,733 --> 00:04:17,416
had not one cause, but many.

8
00:04:17,735 --> 00:04:18,978
And it was not an event,

9
00:04:19,235 --> 00:04:23,348
but a process spread over 300 years.

10
00:04:23,741 --> 00:04:25,464
Some nations have not lasted as long

11
00:04:25,746 --> 00:04:27,534
as Rome fell.

12
00:04:27,813 --> 00:04:30,137
In the year 180 A.D.,

13
00:04:30,449 --> 00:04:32,172
the Emperor Marcus Aurelius,

14
00:04:32,450 --> 00:04:34,206
was leading his Roman legions

15
00:04:34,485 --> 00:04:41,643
against the Germanic tribes along
the Danube frontier.

16
00:04:43,763 --> 00:04:48,487
My lord, Caesar. The omens are bad.

17
00:04:48,936 --> 00:04:54,652
I could not find its heart.

18
00:04:58,242 --> 00:04:59,803
When I was a child, Timonides,

19
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,022
I had a secret fear
that night would come

20
00:05:02,316 --> 00:05:04,225
and would never end.

21
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,382
That we would live out our lives
in total darkness.

22
00:05:08,724 --> 00:05:11,375
It was a small fear then.

23
00:05:11,691 --> 00:05:12,639
Yet my lord, Caesar,

24
00:05:12,891 --> 00:05:14,135
the sun always rises,
