MUMBAI: One tyrannical empire. 700 long years of battle. A world altering struggle for freedom. This aptly describes the rise and fall of the mighty Roman Empire.
Told from the perspective of the tribes named as ‘Barbarians’ by the Romans; ‘Barbarians Rising’ is a saga of the fall of the Roman Empire. Viewers can watch the drama unfold on History TV18 from 28 January at 10 pm.
Though considered as one of the greatest empires of all time, the Roman Empire was rather ruthless and brutal. To achieve total domination, the Romans blanket the ancient world in blood and tyranny, giving rise to barbarian rebellions.
The 700 years of struggle ultimately led to the downfall of the monumental Roman Empire. The 8 episode docudrama chronicles the rebellion undertaken by the outraged and subdued tribals to overthrow the brutish empire. The battle for supremacy results in the defeat of Rome before it becomes unstoppable.
‘Barbarians Rising’ does not glorify the Romans but talks about the heroic struggle launched by nine fierce warriors including Hannibal, Spartacus, Arminius, Boudica and Attila alongside an eclectic group of experts and contributors.
‘Barbarians Rising’ reveals the true history behind the legends and their fight to attain freedom. These iconic men and women believed in breaking the Roman shackles binding their communities and living as free folks.
