In this documentary we take a look at one of my favorite periods of early Roman history. We discuss the founding of the city and its slow expansion under the shadow of its more powerful neightbor the Etruscans. This eventually grew into a rivalry that stretched over several centuries of warfare. Eventually when ancient Rome expelled its Kings, it would be the Etruscans who backed the monarchy's return and waged war on Rome. This culminated in the 508 BC siege of Rome by Lars Porsena, King of the Etruscan City of Clusium.

The history documentary then covers the specifics of the siege including the brave acts of Horatius at the Bridge and Gaius Mucius Scaevola who sneaked into the enemy lines to try to assassinate the Etruscan commander. While much of this is likelyhalf truths or mythology its nonetheless a fascinating story about Early Roman History that would live on in the history of the Rise of Rome.
