A monthly programme about archaeology and history with Magnus Magnusson.

The Other Conquest
At about the same time as their attack on England the Normans invaded Sicily. Tonight John Julius Norwich tells the remarkable story of their hard-fought victory over that rugged island defended by a fierce Saracen enemy. The Normans set up a great dynasty which has left dazzling achievements in marble and gold.

The City That Vanished
The ancient Greek city of Sybarlj even to its contemporaries was synonymous with luxury and high living, but the actual city itself has disappeared almost without trace. Now there is fresh hope of finding it with the help of a new electronic instrument, developed in England the proton magnetometer.
