Megapolis: The Ancient World Revealed - Episode 4: Rome

Editor's Take

The Rome instalment of the Megapolis series focuses on the city as a feat of construction, the Pantheon's dome, the Colosseum, Nero's golden house, and how Roman engineering still shapes how we build. Good for viewers who are more curious about concrete and aqueducts than emperors.

This episode of Megapolis unlocks the engineering genius of ancient Rome, from the soaring dome of the Pantheon to the mighty Colosseum and Nero's opulent Domus Aurea. It reveals how Roman architecture and construction shaped the world we still live in today. Reconstructions and expert insight bring the eternal city at its height back to life. Detailed and vivid, it is a fascinating tour of Roman ingenuity. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
