Secrets of the Roman Empire: Lost Treasures of Rome Mega Episode

Editor's Take

A National Geographic mega-episode that investigates Rome through its physical remains, Hadrian's Wall, the buried towns around Pompeii, rather than its emperors. It is archaeology-forward, best for viewers who like their history dug out of the ground and forensically examined.

This mega episode digs into the secrets of the Roman Empire through its greatest structures and lost treasures. Experts investigate Hadrian's Wall, the largest thing Rome ever built, and the buried town of Herculaneum, uncovering clues about life and death at the edges of the empire. Presented in 4K, it combines archaeology with vivid reconstruction to bring ancient Rome to life. It is a rich exploration of the ruins that still hold Rome's story.
