Africa's Rome

An introduction to, what I believe, is the most underrated state in history: Aksum. I broke it up into 9 parts or so, less so for coherence but to break up the workload on my part. As simple as it looks, this took me way too long to make, so I hope you enjoy.


I own none of the music or footage used in this video. Music is mostly from Total War or YouTube's library.
