COLOSSEUM vividly brings to life the rise and fall of the Roman Empire
through the lens of one of the most exhilarating and brutal arenas in
the history of humanity – the Colosseum. From the savage truth of a
gladiator’s life as a slave-warrior to the fascinating ways Rome’s
Emperors used the vast amphitheater to demonstrate total power,
COLOSSEUM offers viewers a unique and personal look inside history’s
most iconic empire. Each episode pinpoints one of eight key and diverse
characters – all based on real people from history. Spanning several
hundred years, the series unfolds chronologically, from the arena’s
astonishing opening day to its very last 
games. COLOSSEUM utilizes
dramatic live action sequences and special effects to infuse excitement
into the personal narrative of each historic character. The premium
series features commentary with leading experts,
world-renowned scholars
and more. One of our old r'n'b loves, singer Daniel De Bourg (back in 2014 he was No2 in our top list of the best songs of the year) features in the cast with Aron von Andrian as emperor Domitian.

This one looks pretty good, but I hope it's more drama than gore.
ReplyDeleteIt is documentary.
DeleteWhile I am not one who usually goes for brutality, I am usually drawn to the Romans and the Colosseum games. I don't understand how people can fight to the death, and how others could watch it for sport, but for some reason they fascinate me all the same.
ReplyDeleteWell most of them forced, both the contestants and sometimes even the viewers. For some games they would lock the audience in for a day or two without letting them out if it was something celebrating the emperor.
