Part one of three on the Eternal City, this episode resurrects the rubble and brings back to life the capital of the ancient world. Focusing on the grandeur of classical Rome, we'll marvel at the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the empire's exquisite art. Then we'll go offbeat by bicycle to see the Appian Way and marvels of Roman engineering. © 2012 Rick Steves' Europe

Love Rick Steves videos! Always very informative
That extreme Americano-English is part of why I watch this ('puts you curb-side', 'the Eisenhower of his day' etc), very entertaining, indeed.
went in April, loved it! Rome is very beautiful.
If been there 4 days back it is huge and beautifulll
Going in September. Thanks for the overview!! Video looks great. Are you a privateer? Easy to watch. Easy to see your enthusiasm. Great vid.
I've recently been to the National Museum and knowing that Romans had jewels made of Sri Lankan lapis lazuli was really astonishing.
DEAR I WANT TO TRAVEL WITH U.
Why does he have to mention ''Christ'' all the time when there is no evidence he actually existed?
Those mosaics are something else.
Love videos like this. Anyone know of similar programs that show ancient Roman sites, preferably on Blu-Ray?

Rome was a Kingdom before it was a Republic. Don't forget.
