Six programmes in which Robert Erskine retraces the paths of ancient civilisations and seeks to recapture the life and events of those times.
1: Siege of the Rock
All places where great events occurred have a powerful atmosphere, but none so pungent as Israel's Rock of Masada. Originally fortified by Herod, it was to this impregnable position that the remnants of the Jewish revolt of AD 70 withdrew to oppose the Roman Army to the death.
