ROME: GLORY AND POWER |
==============================================================
 |
Featured on The Learning Channel,
this six-hour series chronicles the beginning of Western civilization with the rise
and fall of the great Roman Empire. Produced by Alexandria Productions, it charts the
Roman Empire from its roots at a bend in the Tiber River, where legendary brothers Romulus
and Remus fought to the death; to its flowering as a Republic formed in 510 B.C. after
Romans routed Etruscan tyrants; through its military conquests and vast expansion into a
masterfully organized empire under such leaders as Julius Caesar and Augustus; and into
its decline, beset by internal strife, eccentric emperors, plague, barbarian raids and the
rise of an equally compelling power: the Christian Church. Filmed on location, this series
uses startling computer graphics, arresting re-creations and penetrating original research
to uncover the real Rome and its incredible characters. |
