In September I brought you "History Re-Summarized: The Roman Empire" but what happens after the Fall, and what does the Pope have to do with it?

This video is the first, but not the last of my forays into Late Antiquity. I'm hype for more. Mark my words this is not the last you'll hear about Ravenna.

I'm going to make the argument that Rome did actually die at some point (possibly after being sacked by the Vandals) but reanimated as a zombie.

This video was so much fun. Rome can basically be described as a "vampire city", rising from the dead.
