Meet the Roman Emperor with Mary Beard
Classicist Mary Beard finds out what it was like to be an emperor of Rome, revealing the hidden world of the Roman imperial court and lifestyle. She deciphers rare, surviving instructions and imperial era artefacts and explores epic locations to gain insights into their homes, entourage, sex lives and health. She also considers her subjects' ruthless use of power and how it was matched only by their greatest fear - that it could be snatched away at any moment by the people closest to them
Meet the Roman Emperor with Mary Beard airs on BBC Two Wales HD at 11:45 PM, Wednesday 26 March. (Subtitles, repeat, audio description.)
