Roman Chronicles: the Millennium Dream of Rome

It is the longest sailing Ship of Theseus in human history. During the thousand-year voyage, the decks decayed and changed piece by piece - the faith was changed from Jupiter to Christ, the language was changed from Latin to Greek, and even the faces of the nation at the helm were changed. In the long centuries before Napoleon was born, there was only one name in the world worthy of the word "Empire" - Rome, and it all ended on a May evening. On May 29, 1453, Constantinople fell. At the end of a whole day of brutal bloody battles, Emperor Constantine XI faced the incoming Ottoman army and shouted his last question: "Isn't there a Christian who will chop off my head?!" Then he threw off his purple robe, drew his sword and charged into the enemy camp. The silver armor melted away in an instant. At that time, people only thought that a city had changed hands, but they did not realize that the bones of an era were cooling under the city walls. It took a long time for the world to understand the verdict of that evening: the Roman Empire was finally and completely gone. Byzantium - it was just a millennium-long rut dragged behind by ancient Rome, and now, people finally know - there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. Everything has an end. "Roman Chronicles" is an epic story about how this thousand-year-old ship sailed to its destination plank by plank. Open it and you will witness how glory is replaced by time, how the empire quietly dies in every "rebirth", and why the man who finally drew his sword and rushed toward destiny chose to become eternity in a shattered way under the dazzling sunlight.
