National Geographic’s groundbreaking 8-part series reveals ancient Rome’s hidden treasures and untold stories as never before. From iconic figures including Caligula, Caesar, and Constantine, to epic events such as the eruption of Vesuvius, the invasion of Britain, and fall of Rome, When Rome Ruled reveals a startling up-to-date vision of the ancient empire and challenges our perception of what we know about the Romans and their lives. New discoveries about the Roman gladiators, Pompeii doomsday, and Caesar’s assassination provide fresh insights into the empire that not only influenced Western civilization, but created it.

Beast fights in the morning. Executions at lunchtime. Gladiator combat in the afternoon. NGC re-creates the opening days of the Colosseum, the spectacles, the combatants and the monumental structure that housed them. We’ll then reveal what went into staging the games and the arsenal of weapons the gladiators had at their disposal – re-creating the action of the empire’s iconic venue.

Demonized by ancient sources and portrayed throughout history as a cruel madman – was Emperor Caligula really insane or just the product of a mad world? He inherited a vast empire, unimaginable wealth and the love of his people, but Caligula’s reign descended into paranoia, depravity and full-blown insanity. Using dramatic re-enactments along with expert testimony from a forensic psychologist, NGC investigates: Is there a medical explanation behind his terrifying mind?

This is the story of a disaster like no other. When Mount Vesuvius erupted, it rained 8 million tons of debris onto Pompeii it sealed the fate of more than a thousand people. But it also sealed the city form the world: preserved it, protected it, like nowhere else on earth, the rediscovered Pompeii gives us access to the ancient world. And now, with new findings and new insights, we can tell the story of the ordinary people caught up in this disaster. These are the forgotten men and women who lived when Rome ruled….and were buried when the volcano blew.

In a story that plays out like a Mafia saga, NGC tracks Julius Caesar’s meteoric rise to power and his historic murder. His life was marked by tyranny and treachery, grand public gestures and secret double dealings. Witness how every action Caesar took brought him closer to death – and how his genius, ego and ambitions changed the course of history in the Greco-Roman world.

Over centuries, the Romans transformed a swamp on the banks of the Tiber into a settlement, then a city of brick and ultimately the gleaming marble core of the ancient world’s greatest empire. Journey through massive Roman tunnels and trace the city’s architectural and engineering evolution, including tombs, temples, monuments and aqueducts. See how the Romans converted an uninhabitable region into the home of some of the most impressive monumental architecture the world has ever seen.

For centuries, Rome governed hundreds of thousands of people in an empire that covered as much as 2 million square miles. In an age when most travel was done on foot, how was this possible? Digging deep into the lives of two emperors who presided over one of the most successful periods in Roman history, NGC explores how the empire owed its longevity to its ambition, innovation and genius for administration. See how Rome endured for centuries as one of the greatest bureaucracies on earth.

Christ is said to have been stabbed with a spear upon his crucifixion – if it could be identified, the spear would be a powerful holy relic. In the centuries since, three weapons have been called the Holy Spear. Now, a priest and a scientist reach back through the mists of legend and time searching for the true spear that pierced the side of Christ. Could any of the three spears have been present 2,000 years ago?
