Lost Civilizations: Rome
What did it really mean to live as an ancient Roman? Join researchers uncovering the harsh life of a legionnaire posted to the empire's farthest frontier at Hadrian's Wall. Glimpse the fabled pleasure dens of Pompeii's most notorious brothels and view the cruel spectacle of gladiators battling for glory - and survival - in the infamous Colosseum. Witness the eerily lifelike volcanic casts of the people buried in old Pompeii under the rain of ash. Finally, experience the awesome military might that gave rise to Rome's spectacular empire and also helped carve the path to its chaotic fall.
