    Over-simplified mess
    Larry Lamb may be an award-winning actor and a self-described history buff, but he is certainly no historian, or at least not a very good one. I am a former ancient history teacher and it appears Lamb seems to have decided what the story is and sets out to rush through telling it his way without a whole lot of analysis and thought, aggrandizing his infatuation with ancient Rome along the way. To its credit, there are some good shots of structures and interesting artifacts, and a few good points made by real historians and archaeologists. But history is about looking at all sides of the story and determining the motives behind the facts. This series is sadly lacking on that front.
