pradeep s @RT43922639 05/08/2022 A great depiction of Roman History. Enlightening and entertaining at the same time. Definitely worth a watch. See more cem y @cmyldz23 09/19/2021 I did not know the details of the incidents presented in this documentary. What I like the most about these kinds of productions is the fact that they display some historical facts in a very enjoyable way and give you another source, and save you time to read giant historical books. See more Emilio T @MilloTPue 03/08/2020 A documentary about Roman Empire is always interesting, and it is not badly done, but I find some inaccuracies which are unproper of this kind of productions. See more 08/12/2019 Absolutely incredible! Made me want to try and find out more, but the other docs Ive watched pale in comparison. Even if you know very little you will want to know more about these facinating people and the era they lived. Watch it and be hooked for 3 days! See more 04/17/2019 This emperor was super lame compared to Julius Ceasar and Commodus! Not a single great conquest, he was a bad diplomat and also an incestuous weird dude. See more 04/13/2019 Caligula ( little boot) in Latin, was pure evil, but what Tiberius did to his family is enough to make anyone grow a cold heart. But his reign was absolute terror and the things he did are inexcusable. Phenomenal season. I hope there's going to be a season 4, I love this show. See more Read all reviews
