What was the name of this BBC documentary? It was broadcast sometime around 2000.

Its tone was pretty melancholic, and it was (to me) quite a moving piece. [more inside]

As a lay...very lay...student of Roman Republic and Empire, and anticipating the upcoming HBO/BBC series Rome with relish, I'm reading everything I can get my hands on about both Republic and Empire. Currently I'm reading an abridgement of The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire I just inherited. What next? [insert Latin for "more inside" here].
