At its zenith, the Roman Empire stretched from Morocco and Portugal in the west all the way to Egypt and Armenia in the east. Founded in 27 BC, the empire and its later continuation finally collapsed in 1453 AD when the great city of Constantinople was lost to the Ottomans. Due to the vast territory it encompassed and the incredible number of years it endured, the Roman Empire left behind a host of impressive monuments. While their heyday has long gone, these now act as important historical landmarks and popular tourist attractions.
Man Pont Du Gard Aqueduct is so huge, Roman engineering on colossal level never cease to amaze me.
It is only a small sample of the large number of well or partially well preserved monuments that exist in what was the ancient territory of the empire
Those Romans sure knew their aqueducts! All across Europe!
There is baalbak temple in Lebanon
All around the mediterranean…. Not all Europe. Romans empired stopped at the Rhine and Danube, which means that more than half of Europe is not concerned. It is mostly in latin Europe (romance speaking), Italy, Spain, France, as well as Greece and parts of the Balkans that roman inprint was strong in Europe.
Historical place, suitable for a visit. Very awesome.
I went to Segovia, Spain and it was amazing seeing the aqueducts.
I live here, it's fantastic
A good friend of my grand mother's cousin drove by segovia a long time ago.
Nimes bullring (France) Currently in use (bullfight) !!!

Great vid..thanks for posting
I've seen most of it ,best architecture in the world
Beautiful video and great locations ! I subs your channel 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice one..post more like this..even one by one in good length is good to see..
I was fortunate enough to visit the Roman Aqueduct in Segovia. It is a huge masterpiece of Roman engineering. I was awestruck by its' size. It is a beautiful structure.
They knew how to build to last!
In the city of Aosta, in the extreme noth-west of Italy, you can walk in a real ancient roman colony ;-)
But there are well conserved roman ruins in almost all the italian cities.
Romes greatest building and engineering monuments were its roads.
I missed: Jerash, Verona's arena and Pompei. Good video though and glad to see 8 of 10 from your list.
@@alessandromancuso7242 Doesn't matter, they're all in Italy (most in Rome), the video was about all ancient Roman Empire
What is amazing is the Roman economy at the time would have been massive to be able to finance and construct projects like we see here , the skills and trades on hand to do these massive construction projects would have been impressive back then and equally impressive today .
The skills and trades were impressive. Probably a combination of that, construction expense and slave labor to some degree has to be factored in.
I remember being a kid and learning about the Roman empire. It was normally taught the fall was due to dissension, attacks from other empires/nations etc.
However what I am seeing more recently discussed, which is probably more accurate, is that environmental factors weakened the empire, then making it susceptible to invasion. i.e. drought and ensuing famine. A society cannot function without water. No crops, no food.
Well done! Simple and clear. And then others are stirring something up, twisting, fucking hard. Good luck in the development of the channel 🤗
Great narration!
Beautiful Video and Great Locations ❤️ Keep your Wonderful Work Going 👍 Best Regards from Melbourne 😍
You forgot about Nimes, Arles and Orange in France
Love the production quality here! It's important to note that Roman Empire as the world knew it fell in 476-- I actually did a video on its last general, Stilicho, last month!
So the Eastern Roman Empire didn't exist or are we going to ignore that?
Bs
You know very well the Eastern Roman Empire not only continued it flourished to such an extent that the last great Latin speaking emperor Justinian, through sheer force of will and with the help of one of the greatest Roman general's in history Belisarius, Justinian re-conquered the whole Mediterranean basin.
The city of Rome fell to the Christian Visigoths yet by then the political and economic power in the Roman world had long shifted to Constantinople.
Rome fell. The Empire did not.
I am proud to have visited 8 out of these 10 masterpieces of Rome. Western civilization owes these geniuses having laid down the building blocks of what we now take for granted. Gratias tibi .
Tell that to those geniusses on the universities trough out the western world with there trow away own history of old White men mentality
@@pietjebel3119 I initially felt simpathy towards your comment, then I remembered that (ignoring for a moment their most widely known achievements) the romans were already performing cataract surgeries long before the middle ages. Call them evil and imperialists if you want, but their genius and spirit are undeniable.
Just visited the parthenon, built on the order of marcus agrippa
@@johntynan8161 You mean the Pantheon dummy?
@@VergiliosSpatulas sorry grammer police 😮💨
Leptus Magna in Libya and some ruins in Sicily are quite something.
the ruins in sicily are not roman, they're greek
You left out Hagia Sophia, the building located in the city use to be Roman empire capital, it's the first building with dome on the square base, first ever pendentive use in building, one of greatest architect archivement of the Roman.
Tam Nguyen Istanbul or Constantinople as it was known then was made the eastern capital of the Roman Empire. It was never the capital of the whole Roman Empire. And the Hagia Sophia is more identified now with the Christian Eastern Orthodox Church & the Ottoman Empire.
@@mpb3481 As the clip says the Roman Empire lasted till 1453, so obviously the architectural monuments waited to be seen should had cover even the Christian era. And a correction, when the Western part of the empire collapsed the eastern part or"Byzantium " was the only indeed Roman Empire and Constantinople the capital of the whole Roman Empire.....except if there is a rule that without France Britain Spain the Roman Empire is not a whole??? Which is why this term "byzantine" came along....the westerners never digested the fact that the Roman Empire lasted so long in the hands of the Greeks without them(west Europeans) having part to the continuation of the Roman tradition
@@vanmars5718 just because they used to be under the Roman empire doesn't mean they were. It was a greek empire as a matter of fact so not the Roman empire
@@mpb3481 actually the city was the capital of entire Roman empire just for little bit then the empire split, and became capital of the Eastern part till 1453, and no matter East or West they still called themselves the Roman.
@@mpb3481 Yes it was -under Constantine it was the capital of the whole Roman Empire -later the west was lost to Goths etc but reconquered (a lot of it) by Belisarius and others under Justinian -get your facts straight!
Interesting video. The only one I've seen in person is the Pont du Gard. Fabulous structure.
Did you swim under it?
No, Jerash, Jordan in this list? Way better than other items in this list
Massive respect to those people that came after roman empire and didn't destroy these monuments
When you live in Split, and walk through the place every day on your way to work. I guess I'm so used to the scenery, sometimes I forget how beautiful it is.
The Romans knew how to build, they knew how to make laws, they knew how to fight and conquer, they knew how to live well. I think that a significant part of their knowledge has been lost.
The Romans of now,Italians, still maintain those characteristics especially knowing how to live at the table
Constant war, slavery (which was not a Roman invention. Slaves had been used throughout human history in virtually every culture).
Roman bathhouse in Bath England should of been on the list
Geez. Almost all of the Segovia aqueduct is made of stone and doesn't feature "brickwork".
very beautiful
Very good ^^
i watched the video and i like it one hand but other hand i have been surprised since i had expected Hagia Sophia in Istanbu would be in first three but even there was not in the list. Did you missed or you assumed it is not a monument. Any way good work and thx
Beautiful
One of thegreat ironies of the roman engineering is that they designed all these great monumental structures but thye never developed the wheel barrow.
They had chariots though!
What's the name of the builduing the hills at 0:47? Thx guys
That's the Temple of Garni in Armenia
I wonder how you missed The Roman Τheater of Bosra or the Roman Theater of Palmyra in Syria!
wow that's amazing, enjoyed the video, i really want to visit PANTHEON, i cannot wait when we can continue our travelling ) so many plans we have) i live in China now and we travel just in our province) if anybody wants to have a look at China today - welcome to our channel. Thank you for this video 😍
the pantheon is a truly awe-inspiring experience, the main structure has stood for 2000 years without major alterations, the design is elegant and grandeur
Hadrian’s Wall ??? 75miles long. See it from Space. It’s the best preserved Roman Frontier and still to the day the Frontier between England and Scotland.
The other elephant in the room. Justinian Hagai Sophia.
It's long but not all that impressive to see and not particularly well-preserved compared to the monuments in this video
Pretty nice video; just think Patheon should be nr1. I would love to see Baalbek.
What about Trier Germany ? I spent 2 years outside Trier with the Army , 1984- 86 . Trier celebrated its 2000th birthday in 84 . Every time they knocked down a building there , they find Roman ruins and the state takes over and preserves that sight. The Port De Negro is still standing ( Main gate ) . There is also an Amphitheater two blocks from my girls home . I went back in 2017 to see my girlfriend from Butzweiler who now lives and was born in Trier. There is an old Roman mine outside Butzweiler that has its entrances barred. I wanted to move there and I have a Roman Centurions uniform at home ( Check my face book page ) . My son is named after Julius Caesar and my grandson's name is Roman. I have a 4000 1/72 scale plastic Roman Army ( a legion ) I have collected since I was young ( I'm going on 70 ). I am now painting 1/32 scale Romans for my grandson who is 15 months old and will inherit my Legion . I am a record producer and my production company Logo is " 10th Legion Equestris Productions " " Victus Romanus " & Make Rome Great again !
Nimes bullring (France) Currently in use (bullfight), "plaza de toros" Nimes
anyone know the location of the stadium shown from the air in the intro @ 00:16 ?
Good question...for sure one of this list :-P
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_amphitheatres
(hope someone can help us)
That's Side in Turkey
@@touropia thanks! looks like they have a nice little point break setup in view of the amphitheater. was thinking it would be rad to catch some waves and use a Roman amphitheater as a lineup marker. silly surfer thoughts haha
Its so sad so many of these buildings have been destroyed and ransaked over the centuries.
As the clip says the Roman Empire lasted till 1453, even if until recently historians of the West always put the end in 410 when the Western part fell...today is very well restored to put the end at 1453 when the Roman eastern part fell... So monuments of the after 410 era waited to be seen, so many Roman "byzantine" monuments around the Mediterranean
Most do 476 for the end of the west if I'm not mistaken
No
@@justinmorgan5282 right
I wonder why there seems to be momentum to say the empire was over in 410.
I find it unlikely that the "Eastern" Roman Empire called themselves Byzantine, or Easter Roman empire. Most likely they just called themselves Roman Empire.
👏👏
Alcántara Bridge (Spain)

So I guess you have already visited Nîmes ?
bien hecho
Explore Golgumbaz with Guide Jahangir, South India 🇮🇳
The Romans were great engineers & builders. Given earthquakes & traffic it's amazing anything still stands. However their artistry was borrowed.
Their techniques being "borrowed" does not diminish their accomplishments. The fact that Roman culture endured above everything else is a testament to their brilliance.
Sangat bagus untuk di tonton from indonesi🇮🇩
plaza toros de Nimes (France) Nimes bullring (France) Currently in use (bullfight)
Make the same video for greece 🇬🇷
ΒΑΣΙΛΑΚΑΚΗΣ-ΤΣΑΓΚΑΡΑΚΗΣ ΟΕ Yeah! Rumour has it the Romans stole all their ideas. Mathematics, architecture, etc.
@@winnifredforbes8712 Romans admire greece so they took a lot of things from ancient greece. For example the ancient Temple pantheon has greek name pantheon in greek means for all gods and roman agora was like greek agora. But as a greek i respect and adimre ancient Romans
ΒΑΣΙΛΑΚΑΚΗΣ-ΤΣΑΓΚΑΡΑΚΗΣ ΟΕ Thank you for that. They were both very advanced countries.
Συμφωνω απολυτα μαζι σου.Για μετα οτιδηποτε εχουν κανει οι ρωμαιοι ευθυνετε στους αρχαιους ελληνες αλλα τους θαυμαζω εξισου.
@@mariazacharatouu7987 εννοείται αυτό και οι δύο ήταν σπουδαίοι πολιτισμοι
Please do a video for Ancient Greek monuments
Stefano Carbonera glad you enjoyed. Next time you decide to visit Greece again, I recommend to you to visit the beautiful island of Crete which has world-renowned beaches, magnificent archeological sites and charming towns.
Dioclesiano palace
Pont du Gard
The Pantheon
Are the best
Check out Porta Palatina in Turin
I'm afraid you gotta do this again adding:
- the "villa romana del casale" in Piazza Armerina, Sicily
- Pompeii and Ercolano
- Ostia Antica /ancient Ostia, next to Rome
:-P
He was roman people very intelligent 👌👌👌👌
please upload the videos of south korea , belgium , holland, mexico . cuba and canada
what about Orange in France ? and the antic theater
you show a lot or arena..... and you dont show the most preserved arena in the world ?...
Nimes and Arles in France have the most preserved roman Arena. 2000 years after their construction they are still used for spectacles
@touropia: Great work!
I would suggest to update your video with these two ancient Roman cities in North Africa:
An ancient Roman city in Algeria, named Djemila czcams.com/video/-Uu5rWY0yag/video.html
Another ancient Roman city in Libya, named Leptis Magna czcams.com/video/EmF4GT-S-Yw/video.html
Cheers :)
pleace new videos 2020
I do not think is right...In Spain the most spectacular romain structure is theatre of Mérida ( is the romain theatre in n’est condition)
Mancano tanti siti stupendi solo a Roma : Ostia antica , villa Adriana , arco di Costantino , colonna di Traiano , colonna di Adriano , ara pacis , Foro Romano ecc .... Pompei , Anfiteatro di Verona ....ecc
What? No Caerleon amphitheatre/Caerwent or Hadrian's Wall?
Isn't number 4 in westworld season 3?
rome was founded long before 27bce
I only have seen the pula arena
By now I have also been to the Pont du Gard.
When u visit baalbek you will explore the greatnes of this empire
My dad...still could do this in 1950s to 2000's 👍
U haven't seen indian kailash temple
I heard that Jerash city in Jordan is the best preserved Roman city.
Agreed, so beautiful
Actually baalbek is no 1
^ Actually Pompeii and Herculaneum are the world’s best preserved roman cities.
🤝👍
How does a building made out of stone get destroyed by a fire.
I wish I was born in Europe instead of USA cause Europe is more beautiful to me no offense
👍😊
Where is Pompeii,Palmyra?
Napoli
Il più grande e glorioso impero della storia; Roma ha conquistato, dominato, costruito e civilizzato; la grandezza, la potenza, la magnificenza e la gloria di ROMA EST AETERNA, ROMA INVICTA ET LUX MUNDI 💪💪💯
Roman empire is the Greatest Empire in Human history
