For a thousand years, Rome ruled the world-its legions undefeated, its emperors godlike, its glory eternal. But no empire lasts forever.
From the rise of ruthless warlords to the betrayals that shattered the Senate, from civil wars to the final sack of the city,
"The Empire That Was"
tells the story of Rome's slow descent into ruin. Once-mighty legions turn on each other. Emperors fall, one by one, to the ambition of their own generals. The provinces break away, swallowed by new kings, new kingdoms, and the chaos of a world without Rome.
As the Eternal City burns, the last survivors walk among its ruins, clinging to fading memories of an empire that will never rise again.
Epic, brutal, and haunting,
is the story of power, war, and inevitable collapse. Because even the greatest empire in history could not escape its fate.
