Rome est l'histoire de deux soldats romains ordinaires et de leurs familles. Un drame intime fait d'amour et de trahison relatant la période qui a vu la chute d'une république et la création d'un empire.
753 BC, the date historians traditionally assign to the founding of Rome, is at the heart of this historical documentary. Stamp discusses the origin of the city's rivalries, the dangers faced by its citizenry, the empire's revolving-door of power, early clashes between the Jews and the Romans, and the vulgarity, brutality, and graffiti that filled the streets.
