My friend, a political science teacher at a local college, and I often ๐š๐ซ๐ ๐ฎ๐ž about ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ the large ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ in ๐ฌ๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ of our world. And to prove our points and arguments, we try to watch TV documentaries, especially the documentaries on โ€œimportant political eventsโ€ in history and collect information from them. Today, I would like to talk about one such documentary which I watched about a year ago which was quite interesting.
The documentary, I want to talk about, was on ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐Ÿ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ of ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐‘๐จ๐ฆ๐š๐ง ๐„๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ž. It, of course, was a series of documentaries which tried to discuss 600 years of history of the Roman Empire in as much depth as possible ๐ข๐ง ๐œ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ฅ ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ž๐ซ.
It has one particular episode on the Roman republic days with the problems of northern Gallic tribes, and then it also talks about the role of Caesar in shaping the empire and ๐ฌ๐จ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ก. By the way, I already had learned a little about the history of the Roman Empire, by reading different kinds of books and watching some historical facts on TV before, but this particular documentary taught me a great deal about the history of western civilization as a whole.
However, what was really ๐ซ๐ž๐ฆ๐š๐ซ๐ค๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž about this documentary was that it really tried to ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐๐ข๐œ๐ญ a very popular view that the Romans were bad people and also the enemy of Christianity but they become good people after ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐จ Christianity. Besides, the documentary taught me a very crucial point (which other people may not agree with) and that is, our human history is ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐›๐ฎ๐ญ the history of numerous wars and conflicts.
Anyway, the TV documentary was particularly interesting to be me because it ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ž๐ฒ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ the flaws and greatness of the Roman civilization which also essentially is the civilization of Europe. I found it interesting also because Christian religion indeed ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ฒ๐ž๐ ๐š ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ๐ž in shaping the European civilization even though many Europeans today like to disagree with it.
