The Other March on Rome - Sulla’s Two Civil Wars (88 to 81 BC) (Animated History Documentary)

This video transcript covers the tumultuous period of Roman history in the late second century BC and early first century BC, including civil wars, socioeconomic problems, the expansion of the Roman Republic, the social wars, and the war against King Methodratus VI of Pontus. It also discusses Sulla's march on Rome, his election as dictator, his persecution and execution of enemies, and his death in 73 BC. This marked the beginning of the downfall of the Roman Republic, which was further exacerbated by a slave revolt led by Thrasian slaves. Crasseus and Pompayus suppressed the revolt and were elected consuls in 17 BC, marking the end of the Republic.
