The Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the history of Rome continues with a video describing how the Roman empire lost every one of its provinces. From the heights of imperial dominance to total collapse, this video traces the complete territorial decline of the Roman Empire, region by region, across more than a millennium of history. At its peak, Rome ruled lands stretching from Britain to Egypt, commanding unmatched military, economic, and administrative power. Yet despite its strength, the Empire gradually unraveled under the weight of internal instability and relentless external pressure. This episode explores why Rome lost its provinces, beginning with the early abandonment of Germania after the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, moving through the chaos of the Crisis of the Third Century, and culminating in the catastrophic collapse of the Western Roman Empire in 476. We then follow the story eastward, as the so-called Byzantine Empire struggled to preserve Roman civilization against Persians, Arabs, Crusaders, and finally the Ottomans. From Justinian’s ambitious reconquests to the disaster at Manzikert, from the sack of Constantinople in 1204 to its final fall in 1453, this is the definitive overview of how Rome’s borders shrank—and why they were never fully restored. A must-watch for anyone interested in Roman history, imperial collapse, and the long transition from antiquity to the medieval world.
