Barbarians Rising 
This docu-drama focuses on legendary warriors as they’re engaged in one of mankind’s most timeless struggles – the fight for freedom.
Barbarians Rising is not a story about the glory of Rome, it’s the story of the millions who rise and fight for freedom in the shadow of absolute power and the few who led the charge.  The empire calls them “barbarians”: tribes beyond the fringe of civilization that live a primitive, brutish and violent existence.  These peoples are also some of the fiercest warriors in history – men and women who refuse to bow to ruthless oppression, launching an epic saga of resistance that ushers in the fall of Rome and shapes the world to come.

Archaeologist and historian Richard Miles explores the roots of civilisation in an epic series that runs from the creation of the first cities in Mesopotamia to the fall of the Roman Empire. An illuminating and spectacular six-part odyssey tracing the development of Western civilisation - from the first cities of Mesopotamia to the fall of the Roman Empire. Academic and archaeologist Richard Miles travels through the Middle East, Egypt, Pakistan and the Mediterranean to discover how the mainstays of our society - community, democracy, commerce and technology - were forged and fought over in a series of classical cultures. Ancient Worlds tells the amazing stories of disappeared, ruined and modern cities - from Ancient Iraq to Augustan Rome, and from Phoenicia and the city states of Greece to today's Damascus - and reveals the compromise, ruthlessness, sacrifice and toil that made each city work.
