Are there any decent documentaries on the Romans?

[andrewducker]

I'm looking for something that covers the whole sweep of Roman history, from beginnings through to its ending (and influences on successors). I can find several that tell you all about a few famous Emperors, but I'm not bumping into anything that covers it all.

Anyone suggest something good? Or even a couple that between them cover it?

(I don't need huge amounts of detail - but on the other hand, I don't mind watching several hours of documentary series, if it's good.)

I tend to pick into Wiki when I'm in the mood, I've covered a lot of ancient history of various types of late, developed a Civ (well, C-Evo) addiction and I look up places whenever I get curious and see a placename I didn't know.

No idea about tellybox stuff, rarely watch it these days (well, apart from Netflix)
