Product Description

Product Description

For over one-thousand years, Rome was considered the center of the known world. One of the most glorious empires in history, she brought to her subjects a common language, shared culture, and-for some, wealth beyond imagination. But nothing lasts forever. War, barbarian attacks, and moral decay eventually took their toll, slowly causing the empire to crumble. This is the complete history of Rome.

Amazon.com

Rome: Power & Glory is a six-volume comprehensive introduction to the rise, rule, and fall of the Roman Empire. The series covers the political, military, and social history of the empire from its miraculous engineering feats to the exorbitant taxation that contributed to its downfall. Learn about ancient sporting events and Roman opinions on sex, fashions, slavery, and taxes. The series covers many of Rome's most famous, and in many cases infamous, figures, including Julius Caesar, Augustus, Nero, and Caligula. One of the series' main strengths is its coverage of all levels of Roman society, depicting the diverse strata of Roman civilization in all respects: economic, religious, geographic, and such. While providing a good general overview, Rome does not have time to make a detailed study of any one topic. The other disadvantage is a reliance on old gladiator movie footage that detracts from the seriousness of the topic. All in all, this is an excellent visual introduction to the history of the Roman Empire. --Tara Chace

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, educational, but frightening history
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2011

Enjoyable view of Roman development. Helped me reference the achievements of the Romans to modern politics, culture, and technology. Really made clear to me some parallels between ancient Roman and current conditions: a little frightening. Corporations have replaced the landed estates and the slaves have been replaced by illegal aliens and former middle class workers now working at temporary or menial jobs without futures or sustainability. The technical and management personnel, and small farms have been replaced by mechanized and automated conglomerates owned by the chemical, media, and financial companies. The workers no longer have any stake in what they do. The military is made up more and more of non US born personnel, almost like mercenaries. What we have is just a Pax Temporum and probably very short.
The failure of the Roman Empire was the inequity in wealth and power of the classes compared to the opportunities of the Republic and the inability of the middle class and lower class to carry the burden of the empire. Is chaos and instability in our immediate future? Look at our farming communities now. They are now full of poor people. It had been the "heartland", financially and spiritually of our country. It is now BY Wall Street, the corporations, the media; FOR Wall Street, the corporations, and the media. The "people" no longer matter. Are we all going to new dark ages?
Could have been a little more organized to be used as a really good learning tool. The included time lines could have been much more useful by relating specifically to each volume. This could be fixed without any re-shooting.

This was an exceptional series. A greatly informative introduction to Ancient Rome. A decent production, commendable in patience, depiction and fairness. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who would like to know more about Ancient Rome. A novice will walk away from the program with a much firmer grasp on the sometimes convoluted history of the once great republic. A great introductory series that can also serve wonderfully as a friendly refresher. The talking heads that populate the series are warm and knowledgable, often providing the series with interesting insight.

Watch the series, then buy a couple books. Absorb everything.

Also Peter Coyote narrates Rome - Power & Glory! No relevant or significant televised historical documentary series is truly complete without him.

This set of documentaries is the best I've seen on ancient Rome, unlike the History Channel's Rise and Fall of Rome, which starts halfway through Roman history, doesn't talk much about the big picture, and gets really specific about very specific events, and is boring. I like that this DVD set actually starts at the beginning of Rome, before it was an empire, and doesn't get caught up in wasting tons of time by having reenactments with lengthy dialogue. This documentary set is one of the best I've watched, and I've watched hundreds of documentaries on various topics.

It gets to the point, starts at the beginning and ends at the end of Roman history, always stays entertaining, and of course is heavily educational. Extremely recommended buy for anyone interested in Roman history or general fans of documentaries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful documentary series
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2010

I love documentaries on ancient empires and already have a number on Rome. This far surpasses them all. Like most I have seen, it is made for a wide audience, but this one does offer a wonderful glimpse into this civilization that still impacts so much of our current world. Each disc also has lots of extras as well as some have virtual recreations. I will enjoy watching this for years.

I have seen and have unfortunately bought some pretty cheesy documentaries on Rome. What made me want to purchase this one was the fact that it is narrated by Peter Coyote. That told me this one was first-class. It is.

I did not care for the schmalzy music which play through out. I thought the production was big on BS and short on facts. For example regarding the demise of the Western Empire no real facts were stated other than a goth showing up and telling the emperor he was out of a job. There should have been discussion on how a Roman official promise The Barbarians some land and then he welched on the promise. The Barbarians then went to Odoaker a goth who told them if they made him King he would give them their land. That's what happened and the Goths and sent the Imperial regalia to Constantinople and accepted the title of patrician from the Eastern emperor. None of this was in the DVD. You do learn something so on that basis I give it a c

I have seen may documentaries of Rome but Rome Power and Glory is by far the best. It covers a vast amount of material in six discs but never bores. It is informative but very entertaining. Highly recommended for history buffs and those who are interested in ancient empires.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Tapes, lots of details, but no timeline.
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2001
Verified Purchase
Great story of Rome, where each tape takes a subject and deals with it in more detail. Lots of old movies are used, which is something I found nice. Only one big problem, that was added to the DVD version, is that the VHS version has no timeline. One has to remember that the tapes deal with events that overlap the events and facts they talk about in other tapes. So a person might have trouble with realizing the overlapping cause and effect of the history. It is still a great set of tapes for the price, but if you want more details on certain subjects you will want to get a book (or look it up on some of the Roman web sites).

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the purchase
Reviewed in Canada on December 9, 2017

I found the material simple but inclusive. This package, six DVDs, covers the whole gambit of everything that was Rome, and it doesn't use words or concepts that were too complex. I read the other reviews before purchasing it, and the suggest this would work for a classroom, also that it's basic, but as much as I find it simply presented, I'd say this is for anyone who wants to know things about Rome the movies don't tell them. Their involvement with the Etruscan Empire, their brutality in their rise to power, the reason so many Romans turned to Christianity, the numerous political upheavals that overflowed Rome's history - I kind of knew this material, but then again, not really. This set helped me on that end, and it helped tie in the other historical DVDs I've been watching about the Germanic Tribes, Celts, Silk Road, et cetera. It was a good buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Traditional Depiction of Rome
Reviewed in Canada on August 19, 2016
Verified Purchase
Reasonably well produced with solid narration by Peter Cayote, the series is Christian-centric and a little simplistic in its presentation of the history of the Roman empire. It is good as a general primer for those who known little about the subject, but it does generalize quite a bit, containing some outdated ideas and too much focus on the 'horrors' of the gladiatorial arena. The few emperors mentioned are one dimensional and depicted as good or bad depending on rather biased primary sources. Altogether it was okay, but not particularly revealing or engaging.
