Battle of Adrianople 1205 - Fourth Crusade DOCUMENTARY

In our new animated historical documentary we will talk about the king of the Achaemenid Empire Darius I and his ascension to the throne. Assassination, intrigue and cover-ups, what more could we want in a story about Imperial succession? The First Persian Empire was one of the greatest and most labyrinthine empires that ever existed. An expertly organised economy, a relatively tolerant and lenient provincial system, along with other groundbreaking advances in human civilisation was combined with some of the most scandalous and bloody court politics in the history of the world. Much of ancient Persia’s prominence and prosperity was made possible by one man, perhaps the most competent ruler Persia ever produced - Darius I, or ‘the Great’. How this figure came to power is not a well known story, but it is one of the most obscure and colourful tales we can gather from the ancient sources. Welcome to our video on Darius the Great and how he rose to become the King of Kings.

Previously, we have covered Caesar's campaign in Gaul (youtu.be/LRV185XaMIM), campaign against Pompey (youtu.be/_O5DshzvUsk) and how he won the Civil War (youtu.be/o8F8IajtW9U), as well as the civil wars that brought Octavian - Augustus to power (https://youtu.be/OgoEPs3FxaM). While the next episode will cover the battles of Augustus and his generals in Spain, Gaul, Illyria, Thrace, Arabia, Yemen and Africa (https://youtu.be/rk8vNYEasu8), and the third episode will cover Drusus and his early conquests in Germania, which formed Rome's Germanic frontier (https://youtu.be/fs-53rhHWH0). Afterwards , Augustus navigates grief, succession, and frontier crises from Germania to Armenia to Judea, as Tiberius and his heirs shape Rome’s future (https://youtu.be/QKN6zSZugcE), and then the Great Illyrian Revolt - the Bellum Batonianum (https://youtu.be/I9KJRXjqKAI), followed by the battle of Teutoburg as we discuss who Varus was. (https://youtu.be/U4-1zmyyoVM). Afterwards, power struggles, betrayals, and mutinies mark Rome’s turbulent transition from Augustus to Tiberius (https://youtu.be/zuIPTrBn0Lk). Germanicus avenges Teutoburg—burning Mattium, crushing the Chatti, Bructeri, and Cherusci, and defeating Arminius at Idistaviso and the Angrivarian Wall (https://youtu.be/429XbaXvmUI), but it is followed by the downfall of Germanicus, his conflict with Tiberius, the Syrian crisis, his mysterious death, and the explosive trial that reshaped Rome (https://youtu.be/OONCyQK2v78).
