The "Silver Scam" That Destroyed Ancient Rome

In 211 BC, the Roman denarius was the standard of the ancient world—containing 98% pure silver. By 268 AD, that same coin contained less than 1% silver. This video provides a comprehensive financial history of the Roman Empire’s monetary collapse, explaining how centuries of currency debasement, inflation, and price controls destroyed the Roman economy long before the barbarians arrived. We analyze the specific economic policies of Emperors Nero, Septimius Severus, and Diocletian to understand how the "Pax Romana" was built on a crumbling financial foundation. From the "clipping" of coins to the disastrous Edict on Maximum Prices, this documentary breakdown explores the undeniable parallels between the fall of the Roman denarius and modern fiat currency inflation.
