'Rise and Fall of' franchise lands in Rome

Rome, June 5 (UNI) The makers of popular documentary series "Rise and Fall of" franchise now pans its camera on the 'Eternal City,' Rome.
The series will tackle the epic 1,200-year empire in a single, continuous narrative, from the founding kings to the fall of the West in 476 AD.
The series is built on one central argument: Rome never truly ended. Its laws, its languages, its architecture and its political institutions are the direct foundations of the world we inhabit today and the doc will combine on-location archaeological sequences with AI historical reconstructions to prove the argument. Contributors include Eve Mc Donald, Samir Aounallah and Alexander Mariottin.
Commissioned by RMC Découverte, the franchise has previously examined the rise and collapse of major civilisations such as the Mayas, Incas and Aztecs, according to DEADLINE.
The series has enjoyed considerable international success, securing distribution in more than 100 countries and finding audiences through platforms such as National Geographic and Disney in various territories.
The project is being directed by an experienced team comprising Vanessa Pontet, known for the long-running historical series The Real War of Thrones, alongside Anne Viry-Babel (Pharaohs at War) and Marina Boyenval (The Lost Cities of Genghis Khan). UNI NST CDS
