The Ancient Mediterranean
This is the 3rd in the 8-part Freedom Academy Series, "The Odyssey of Western Civilization," hosted by Victor Davis Hanson.
In this video:
The Mediterranean Sea functioned as antiquity's superhighway, connecting
Asia, Africa and Europe in ways that allowed for a dynamic exchange of
goods and ideas. Blessed with relatively calm weather and with numerous
islands to serve as way stations, the sea was readily navigable. First
Athens and then Carthage built maritime empires, but it was Rome that
finally turned the Mediterranean into mare nostrum - "our sea." By the
first century A.D., the Romans' dominance of the Mediterranean allowed
them to create an integrated empire state that stretched some 2,400
miles from Spain to the Levant.
