I am not a reader but I love learning.
I have discovered this excellent (in my opinion) docudrama on Prime. It is informative, educational but also entertaining. It was on the History Channel and maybe still is. And there may be other ways to view this series.
I have learned so much while also being entertained.
one line that I really loved. I think it was about 397 A.D. and one friend says to another friend."This is not the same world that you were born into. The whole world has changed" or something like that.
Aren't we still saying something like that?
The following is from Wikepedia:
This docudrama tells the story of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire from the viewpoint of the rebel leaders -- termed as barbarians by the Romans -- who launched epic struggles that would help to shape the future. The eight-part series details the 700-year battle to bring down one of the world's strongest empires. The warriors whose stories are told in the fact-based episodes include Hannibal, who vowed to destroy Rome as a 9-year-old; slave-turned-rebel Spartacus, who led a barbarian revolt; Celtic warrior queen Boudica; and Viriathus, a shepherd who became a rebel leader.
