This dramatised documentary series tells the story of the rise and fall

lust and ambition of men like Caesar, Nero and Constantine shaped the
Roman Empire. It describes how Rome destroyed Carthage, was conquered by
Caesar, how it suppressed the Jewish revolt, and converted to Christianity.

tell the definitive television story of how the Empire was formed, how it
achieved maximum power, and why it eventually failed.
