When the young Roman centurion Marcus Aquila came to Great Britain in his first military command he hoped to solve the mystery of the Ninth Hispana Legion. Badly wounded in defending his fort against a British attack, he was now staying with his Uncle Aquila at Silchester. At the Saturnalia Games there he had seen and persuaded his uncle to purchase for him a young British slave, by name Esca, who had taken part in a gladiatorial duel. It was from Esca that Marcus learned more about the lost Ninth Legion.

Our enjoyment of pictures is too often hampered by the jargon of the art critics. Semi-technical terms like expressionism ' and cubism '—even ' realism or * romanticism '—are often used so imprecisely that they confuse where they should illuminate. To clear up this confusion is one of Mr. Newton's aims in this series: to give more precise meanings to such terms; to show by illustration and example how a clearer understanding of the ' isms' and their relationship to each other can contribute greatly to our pleasure in art.

Its Rise and Fall
Three programmes by Isaac Deutscher
It is four years since, on March 5, 1953, Joseph Stalin died. Ever since then the people of the Soviet Union have been living under the sign of de-Stalinisation.
De-Stalinisation epitomises a clash between the Stalin myth which dominated the life of the Soviet Union for a quarter of a century and the nation's desire to free itself from the myth.
Tonight, in the first of three programmes, the birth and growth of the Stalin myth is traced.
