CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

dawn1516-59-356843 Extremely informative about the Roman ruins in North Africa, but his incessant complaining is very British. He is so upset about the ruins not being preserved. Is he not aware that the Middle Eastern spring was due to a fruit vendor in North Africa alighting himself on fire to bring awareness to the conditions in the country? I am from the United States of America and not Islamic but the "I own the world attitude" of the British and their HUGE lack of compassion for the rest of the world is upsetting and scary. I'm still watching and although I like the BCC, his viewpoints are so egoistical and it is obviously he cannot "walk a mile another shoes"....it is very upsetting.

jocajosh Alastair Sook takes us on a journey to prove that great and influential classical art was not just limited to the Hellenistic world but was adapted by the Romans to new and surprising heights as well as developing along its own lines - in architecture, painting, statues - and should be celebrated in its own right. Alastair takes along to view this world which will amaze and delight the senses - it shows how the great and good (and not so good) of the Roman world commissioned these fantastic pieces which went on to influence the art and culture of the world we inhabit today. If nothing else, it makes a great travel show and should make you head to European museums on mass. A delightful series and an engaging host. A real gem.
