Description: The Face of Cleopatra: ancient Roman depictions of Cleopatra VII of Egypt. Other figures include her son Caesarion and her husband Mark Antony. The mediums of art include paintings, sculpted busts, statues, and coins, all dated to the life of Cleopatra or within a hundred years of her death in August 30 BC. In each depiction she wears a royal diadem, the typical symbol of Hellenistic-Greek kingship going back to the ancient Kingdom of Macedonia in northern Greece. She also wears a “melon” hairstyle that was worn by her Ptolemaic ancestors queens Arsinoe II and Berenice II, and which became popular with Roman women after her visits to Rome in 46 and 44 BC (staying at Julius Caesar’s villa).
For further information, see her Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra

Description: Yet another one of the precious few groups which re-create the music of Antiquity, Ensemble De Organographia is one of the earlier groups, releasing their first album in 1995. This album contains varied music, dating between 500 and 300 BCE.  Historical Note: Despite the fact this music is a reproduction of Greek creations, the Ancient Romans were notable for deriving nearly all of their music (especially in upper-class settings) from the Greeks. Therefore, this music was just as common in the Roman Republic/Empire as it was in Greece. In fact, at least two of the Musica Romana pieces are nearly identical to the songs produced by this group.

Description: One of the most powerful civilizations in history, the Roman Empire roled the world for more than five centuries. Although renowned for its military prowess, Rome s real power stemmed from its unprecedented mastery of urban planning and engineering.  Hosted by Peter Weller, ROME: ENGINEERING AN EMPIRE chronicles Rome s spectacular structural history from the rise of Julius Caesar in 55 BC to the Empire s eventual collapse in c. 537 AD. Each of Rome s legendary rulers left their mark on the city–some stately, some sordid–and their collective ambition caused a surge of innovation and ingenuity that led to Rome s glorious ascendance. Examine the planning and construction of the city s greatest masterpieces, including the awe-inspiring Colosseum and its mysterious subterranean aqueducts, and piece together Rome s magnificent past through its architectural triumphs.

Description: Rome In The 1st Century – Years Of Trial.
In 14 AD, Augustus died and the empire stood at a crossroads. Would Rome continue on course or return to chaos?
Much depended on his successor, Tiberius. He knew he had not been Augustus’ first choice as heir, and his position was insecure. He and the Senate did not get along: they disliked his moodiness and unpredictability, and he resented their plotting. He looked for help elsewhere and chose Sejanus.
Sejanus realized this was the chance of a lifetime. He launched a widespread purge, arresting and executing many rivals. The only man who could stop this – Tiberius – had retreated to the island of Capri.
Just when Sejanus seemed unstoppable, everything changed. Tiberius told the Senate that Sejanus was condemned. Sejanus was arrested and executed. The only surviving heir to the throne was now Caligula.
At first, the Emperor Caligula did well. But his behavior soon became strange. He seduced the wives of his guests and murdered people at random. Before long, he too was dead, murdered by his closest advisors.
He was followed by his uncle, Claudius. Disfigured by illness when he was just a child, Claudius had spent his life as the butt of jokes. To everyone’s surprise, he worked hard and did well. He passed laws protecting sick slaves, increased women’s privileges and opened the Senate to new talent. Abroad, he conquered Britain – something that not even Julius Caesar had managed to do.
His weakness was his promiscuous wife, Messalina. When she began an affair with a nobleman, it was widely seen as a coup in the making. Claudius ordered her lover to be killed and Messalina was murdered soon afterwards. When he heard, Claudius didn’t blink – instead, he asked for more wine.
This period also witnessed major change in other parts of the empire. In Egypt, attacks on the Jews forced Philo, a Jewish leader, to travel to Rome and ask for help, without success. In Judaea, a charismatic leader named Jesus challenged the religious and political establishment. The local furor barely touched Rome, but the legacy of Jesus would one day engulf the entire empire.

Description: More than 2,000 years ago, the Roman army swept across Europe, northern Africa, and the Middle East. Backed by the legions, their military, and engineering skills, the Romans built one of the largest empires in history, dominating as many as 36 modern nations. Technology helped shape the ancient world and reverberates in our Western lifestyle and amenities today. But the Roman legacy is less about invention itself than about the spreading of the ancient technology. Rather than invent most of what they became famous for, the Romans adopted, perfected, and spread their enemies’ inventions throughout their empire.
