WHEN IN ROME WEEK

Monday, Sept. 5
9/8c Rome: Engineering An Empire

Tuesday, Sept. 6
9/8c Roman Vice
Despite their civilized attitude to life, there was a decidedly uncivilized end to the Roman Empire. ROMAN VICE uses recent archeological evidence to bring to life this tumultuous period. Among the topics are Roman funeral practices based on sacrifice and superstition; secret societies and mysterious cults; and the grand palaces of Nero and Tiberius, ground zero for Rome's excess wealth and decadence.

On location shooting captures the archeology; vivid recreations will bring the last days of the Roman Empire to life; and interviews with leading scholars from Princeton and Cambridge will provide the historical detail

Wednesday, Sept. 7
9/8c Julius Ceasar's Greatest Battle
In an eight-year campaign through what is now France, Julius Caesar killed one million people, took a million more hostage and destroyed more than 800 cities. Follow in the footsteps of Caesar and the leader of the Gallic uprising, Vercingetorix, as the bloody conflict in Gaul reaches its climax. In 52 BC at Alesia, Caesar and Vergingetorix lead their armies into one of the greatest sieges in the history of warfare: a battle that will decide the fate of Gaul - and shape the future of the entire Western World.
