DESCRIPTION:
(from History's web site, May 2026) A two-part special that re-tells the staggering expansion, domination, and ultimate collapse of one of history’s greatest and most cautionary civilizations. Rome is a young and aggressive republic fighting for survival in the dog-eat-dog world of the Ancient Mediterranean but driven by an ambitious leadership with plans to expand. Waging war on its neighbors brings vast wealth, power, and land without limits. Under its emperors, the Roman Empire dominates the Western world, before an intricate web of events, absolute unchecked power, and new fearsome invaders bring it crashing down after a thousand years of gore and glory. Utilizes dramatic live action sequences, archive, and special effects to bring to life the crucial players in Rome’s history. Featuring commentary with leading experts and world-renowned scholars.
