The Fall of the Roman Empire Episode 35 "Keeping the Show on the Road"
About this Episode
After Julian's death on campaign in Persia in AD 363, his successors struggled to stave off growing barbarian invasions in the west and Persia's new-found dominance in the east. They did their best to keep the show on the road but the cracks in Rome's armour were beginning to show.
