History: Science or Fiction? Symbols of Ancient Rome. Film 24 of 24

This film is the debunking of the myth about Ancient Rome. It is dedicated to several sensational discoveries made by Russian and Italian scientists. Who among us didn't get fascinated by the legends and myths of the Ancient World in our childhood? And they were not just entertaining stories for extracurricular reading. The legendary past of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome occupies numerous pages in school history textbooks. Starting from the 18th century, knowledge of so-called ancient history became a measure of a person's education. That's why for centuries students have been memorizing the names of Roman gods and emperors, dates of great Roman battles, and the years of construction of grand Roman structures, dreaming of seeing the Roman Forum, the Colosseum, Trajan's Column, and the Capitoline she-wolf. However, the results of modern research on ancient monuments often completely shatter the myth of the extraordinary antiquity of both the monuments themselves and the entire history of Ancient Rome.
