How a period of global warfare birthed the Mauryan Empire
In short: Explore the transformative era of the third century BC, where the expansion of Rome and the fragmentation of Alexander the Great's successors coincided with a revolutionary shift in the Indian subcontinent.
This documentary examines the intense volatility of the third century BC, a time defined by massive conflicts and influential leaders. While the Seleucid, Ptolemaic, and Antigonid empires fought for control following Alexander's death, and Rome began its ascent through the unification of Italy and battles with Carthage, India underwent its own profound metamorphosis. The film traces these global shifts toward the emergence of the Mauryan Empire and the influential rule of Ashoka the Great.
