THE HISTORY OF ROMULUS AND REMUS
According to mithology,
Romulus and Remus were the twin sons of the god Mars,
and the priestess Rhea Silvia.
At birth,
they were abandoned by the husband of Rhea Silvia in a remote place.
Mom's calling, come on bro!
Then,
a wolf fed them until they were found by a shepherd.
Dear mommy!
- Done, you're saved from the wolf. Now come with me to my house. - Okay
Hello dear, what we have to eat today?
I'm preparing a wild boar stew .
Oh, what thirsty that I was today!
The shepherd and his wife took care of the children until adulthood.
Love, who are these people?
They're two little boys that I rescued from a wolf in the forest.
Let's adopt them!
In 753 BC,
Romulus and Remus built a city in the banks of the Tigris River.
Look there, it's a lake!
But you already noticed that these lands are fertile?
Yes. This place would be good to create a town, a village.
- Let's begin, my brother! - Yeah, come on!
A TIME LATER
When Remus mocked the low height of the city walls,
Romulus killed him.
So, what did you think of our city's beautiful walls?
I think it's too small, too ugly,
- Uh, it had to be something from you as well! - So that's what you think of my walls? That they're small?!
After that, Romulus gave the name Rome to the city
and named himself king.
No, I've killed my brother!
THE ROMAN GLADIATORS
The gladiators were criminals, war prisoners, and slaves
that were taken to fight
among themselves for public entertainment.
The fights took place in stages called amphitheatres.
The biggest one was the Colosseum in Rome.
The gladiators were forced to fight each other
until one of them fall wounded or dead.
Welcome to another show of
Rome Gladiators!
On one side,
Gabriovsky!
On the other side, Brunovsky!
Fight!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
A wounded gladiator might ask for clemency raising his hand, waiting for a signal.
If the emperor and the public show a thumbs up, his life would be spared.
But if they show the thumbs down, the gladiator would die.
THE LEADERS OF ROME
In the early time,
Rome was ruled by kings.
The last one was Tarquin the Proud, a leader hated by everyone.
What do you want, my king?
I want that you bring me a very fat chicken
and after that I want that you prepare my carriage 'cause I want
to see the fights that will happen in a few moments.
And I want you to prepare me a birthday cake tomorrow.
But sir, are you sure that you...
- ...don't want a boar for dinner? - How you dare to question my authority? - No sir, we'll do what you want.
Chef!
The king changed his mind, now he wants a chicken.
What? Damn it!
I can't stand the authority of that idiot anymore!
Neither me, I want dethrone him today! I can't stand their insults once again!
Yes, let's dethrone him!
What the hell is going on?
We're tired of your injustices!
Now we'll dethrone you! Your Stupid!
***! Idiot!
You don't commands this realm anymore!
Ahhhh!
Let's get out of here now!
Tarquin was dethroned in the year 509 BC.
when Rome became a republic.
Noooo!
This realm doesn't belongs to emperors anymore, now it belongs to the senators!
Power to the people!
Power to the people.
Rome then became controlled by senators, men from wealthy families.
Later,
common people also gained the right to choose their representatives.
The first Roman Emperor was Augustus, elected in the year 27 BC.
Julius Caesar was a famous Roman general who never lost a war,
and his greatest achievement was Gaul. He was a great orator, and one of his most famous sayings is: veni, vidi, vici.
Later, Caesar named himself as perpetual governor of Rome.
Now, I name myself as perpetual emperor of Rome!
Caesar was a popular leader,
but some people suspicious that he was planning to become king.
Hmm, now I'll try to make myself king of Rome.
Man, I need to go in the bathroom! Oh my God!
- Now! - Let's fast!
On March 15 of the year 44 BC,
Caesar was stabbed to death by some nobles that he had as friends.
THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
The fall of the Roman Empire
occurred in 476 AD
with the taking of Rome
by the Heruli.
Here I'll build my empire.
- Who are you? - We are the Heruli and we came to conquer this territory!
Only over my dead body you ***!
So let's fight!
The fall of the empire was caused by a number of factors, including
the barbarian invasions
that caused the final overthrow of the State.
Rome is falling!
