Movie about Rome

Yesterday in class, we watched a video about Rome after the death of Julius Caesar. After he died, Caesar Augustus, also known as Octavius, took over. He did a very good job as ruler, taking over and reigning in many lands. During his reign, he basically “owned” the whole entire Mediterranean Sea. Although, his reigning came to an end and he died and his step son Tiberius took over. People were weary when letting him rule their empire, and his reign proved fatal. He did a very bad job as dictator, with armies turning against him because he treated his people poorly. We haven’t gotten pretty far in the movie, but from what I can tell it looks like Rome’s great reign is coming to an end.
