The Grandeur That Was Rome: Roman Art and Architecture

on BBC Television

A second showing of a series of programmes in which Sir Mortimer Wheeler considers some of the outstanding features of the Roman Empire.

The strip cartoon, the lifelike portrayal of people, the invention of vaulting-all these we owe largely to the Romans who were over-modest about their artistic achievements. 'Roman Art and Architecture' assesses their achievements in terms of today.
