Editor's Take

Mary Beard guides a four-hour history of Rome from republic to ruin, and her presence is the selling point: sceptical, source-driven and allergic to myth. If you want the rise and fall of the empire in one authoritative sitting from a leading classicist, start here.

This four-hour epic traces the full arc of the Roman Empire, from its origins as a small city to its height as the dominant power of the ancient world and its long decline. Guided by leading historians, it covers the republic, the emperors, the conquests, and the internal forces that eventually pulled Rome apart. Presented in 4K, it combines sweeping scope with the detail needed to understand how such a state rose and fell. It is an ideal single film for anyone wanting the whole Roman story in one sitting.
