Ancient Rome holds a fascination that does not diminish. The modern world owes much to this great civilization, and the important aspects of its skills in engineering and city planning are chronicled in this excellent program.
Produced for the History Channel, this is a multiple Emmy-award winning show designed to please engineers, historians and all those who enjoy knowing more about ancient times.
Some of these marks are grand and glorious achievements, while others are not. Some even have questionable motives and little or no value to the city as a whole. Good and bad, it is an exciting, entertaining journey through the history of Ancient Rome.
It is eye opening and amazing, and a wonderful way to learn history. If you think ancient Rome was only Julius Caesar, Nero and some gladiators, this beautifully crafted show will not only be interesting, it will be enlightening.
The History Channel Presents Rome - Engineering an Empire is now available at Amazon . As of yet, there is not a release date for the UK. Visit the DVD database for more information.
