Customer Review: A good video to understand the history of the Roman Empire. This video was instrumental in helping my child understand the history of what happened during this era.
Customer Review: Rousing moving, but they seem to have copied it from a VCR that was watched 50 times too many. Yul Brenner is a marvel in this movie, even with poor quality color and definition.
