  • "For more than 500 years, Rome was the most powerful and advanced civilization the world had ever known, ruled by visionaries and tyrants whose accomplishments ranged from awe-inspiring to deplorable. But the primary elements of Rome's rise to power were its consistently masterful use of engineering and labour, used to build cities and works of architecture that still stand today. The death of Julius Caesar in 44 BC touched off a 600 year period that saw Roman borders expanded, cities built to heights never before seen, and public works such as sewers, running water and heated pools installed. But the drive for power and growth wrought enemies, decay and betrayal, as Rome often saw its leadership fall into unfit hands. This film chronicles the rich history of the Roman Empire from the reign of Caesar in 44 BC to its eventual fall around AD 537, detailing the remarkable works of architecture and technology in between that helped create Rome's indelible mark on the world."@en
