117 AD: Under Trajan, the Optimus Princeps, the Roman Empire reached its maximum territorial extent, stretching from Britannia to the Persian Gulf. This video evokes the architectural zenith of the period: the Forum in its original polychromy, the gleaming marbles of the baths, and the march of Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix. It portrays the height of a golden age, offering a visual approach to a civilization that, 2,000 years later, still helps define who we are.

“Does man only possess immortality? The great words: ‘Behold, I make all things new’ are certainly related not to man only, but to all creation, to every creature. We have already said that the spirit of animals, even the smallest part of it, cannot be mortal, for it is from the Holy Spirit….In the new Jerusalem, the new universe, there will be a place for the animals, too….Eternal life for [non-human] creatures will be only quiet happiness and enjoyment of the new radiant nature full of light, in communication with man, who will no longer torture and exterminate it.” - St. Luke of Simferopol, celebrated today
