Descrizione prodotto

We still live in the shadow of ancient Rome - a city at the heart of a vast empire that stretched from the North of England to Afghanistan, dominating the West for over 700 years. This fascinating history series, as seen on the BBC and presented by Professor Mary Beard, puts aside the stories of emperors and armies, guts and gore, to meet the real Romans living at the heart of it all. Episode 1 In episode 1 Mary asks not what the Romans did for us, but what the empire did for Rome. She rides the Via Appia, climbs up to the top seats of the Colosseum, takes a boat to Rome's port Ostia and takes us into the bowels of Monte Testaccio. She also meets some extraordinary Romans: Baricha, Zabda and Achiba, three prisoners of war who became Roman citizens; and Pupius Amicus, the purple dye seller making imperial dye from shellfish imported from Tunisia. This is Rome from the bottom up. Episode 2 In episode 2, Mary descends into the city streets to discover the dirt, crime, sex and slum conditions in the world's first high-rise city. This Rome is not the marble Rome we know, but a vast, messy metropolis with little urban planning, where most Romans lived in high-rise apartment blocks with little space, light, or even sanitation. Forced outdoors into the city streets, she reveals where they went to hang out, get drunk, have sex and get clean. Episode 3 In this final episode, Mary delves even deeper into ordinary Roman life by going behind the closed doors of their homes. She meets an extraordinary cast of characters - drunken housewives, teenage brides, bullied children and runaway slaves - and paints a more dynamic, lusty picture of Roman family life. Finally, Mary paints a more nuanced picture of Roman slavery and asks why if it was such a brutal institution did many Romans choose to be buried with their servants - living cheek by jowl in death, as in life.

5,0 su 5 stelle It is a present but I watched it myself and enjoyed it very much

It came very quickly within a few days after ordering it. It is a present but I watched it myself and enjoyed it very much. I am sure my Latin student will enjoy it too. I have given him the Mary Beard in Pompeii video and the Herculaneum with Andrew Wallace-Hadrill appears He came to Dublin to the Classical Association Summer School to talk about Herculaneum, which is where he and Mary discussed the sexual exploitation of the slaves. This is about the ordinary Romans, and their slaves and freedmen. I know a little about the inscriptions on grave markers and Mary brings these people to life.
She goes into an insula and shows how the higher up in one the size of the rooms got smaller. Ostia , Pompeii and Herculaneum feature. She visits the Colosseum and the Capitoline Museum which is where the ordinary tourist can visit. The one place that not many people know, is the hill/mountain made up completely of oil amphorae, as the jars would become rancid and could not be used again. This is Monte Testaccio and there are archaelogists from Spain putting together the amphorae. Most of the Rome's olive oil came from Spain and North Africa. She is shown the bones of both a 16 year-old boy and a 6 year-old boy showing damage. Both worked in a fullonica if I remember correctly. This would a fuller's yard and with lifting clothes and especially treading them for hours, would damage young bones. I recomment this to people who hope to visit Rome, or have any interest in the ancient world. I don't know if people could get into all the places Mary visited though. However she is one brave woman for cycling around Rome.

I have always liked Dr Mary Beard and her straightforward way of presenting history.
This DVD is no exception as she vividly teaches the viewer about Roman life, in this
3 episode recording on 2 discs.
An excellent overview of Rome and the Romans.

The production and presentation were excellent. Mary Beard's presentation style was entertaining and, at the same time, very informative. Her focus on facets of everyday life in Roman times (primarily first century Rome) rather than concentrating on a chronological view of Roman history (which has been done so many times before) was a good production choice. Having said that, I think that if Professor Beard would produce a program on Roman imperial history it would be well worth watching. Her program on Gaius Caesar (Caligula) was well worth watching. The only drawback was that Amazon UK failed to indicate that the DVDs were playable only in the Region 2 format. So, in order to view the program I resorted to finding the entire three part program on YouTube and I downloaded the program from that venue. In other words, the DVDs I purchased are useless in the U.S. I do think that Amazon UK could have been more helpful in alerting the customer (me in this case) that the discs were playable only in the Region 2 format.

I had a problem accessing the DVD. As soon as I put it into my machine, and message popped up indicating that I would not be able to 'play' it. I gave it to a friend who knows more than I do about these things, and he was also stumped. I recall hearing in the past that some DVDs processed in Europe are unplayable on machines in the USA, but I saw no such warning label on this DVD. I am very disappointed. If you think there may be something wrong with this particular DVD, I can send it back. I would very much like to see the content. --Jmes Christopher Maloney
