PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- For centuries, Rome stood at the center of one of history's great empires, and in this fascinating program, students will explore the vast ruins of this ancient city from the Pantheon to the Forum, through the Mausoleums of Augustus and Hadrian, and into the public buildings of papal Rome. From there, travel south to the legendary towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum, where the preserved ruins from the powerful eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79 provide a complete and unparalleled picture of society and daily life in the early Roman Empire. Part of the multivolume Wonders of the Ancient World DVD Series. A teacher's guide is included and available online.
