Query: An excellent documentary on Roman history.

If you like Roman history or you just want to know a little bit about this period, you can't do much better than this. The recreations are visually spectacular and the interviews with academics are insightful. They are in laypersons' terms so there is no trouble understanding it. Each episode is interesting and vividThere are a few flaws. Some of the historical recreations are a bit inaccurate. For example, no matter what the time period plate armour is used by the Roman soldiers. Plate armor wasn't used by Romans until the first century AD. Some of the analogies with modern day events is a bit shaky.Overall, this DVD is good value for money and you come away knowing a lot more about Roman history.
