Ancient Rome: the Rise and Fall of an Empire

[Robert Vermaat]

I didn't see the entire episode, but did I discern backpacks with bedrolls on some soldiers? :roll:
Panic did apparently break out in Rome when Caesar approached and even Caesarians fled the city. This is attested by Lucan, Plutarch, Appian, Dio and even Caesar himself.

I did not notice bedroll but the soldiers always marched with the scutum in their hands, not on their backs.
So Rome really was almost deserted? That sure looked different in 'Rome'...
