THE ROMAN EMPIRE IN THE FIRST CENTURY:
Through the experiences, memories and writings of the people who lived it, this series tells the story of that time - of the emperors, slaves, poets and peasants who wrested order from chaos, built the most cosmopolitan society the world had ever seen, and shaped the Roman Empire in the First Century.
JAPAN MEMOIRS OF A SECRET EMPIRE:
Commanding shoguns and samurai warriors, exotic geisha and exquisite artisans - all were part of the Japanese "renaissance" - a period between the 16th and 19th centuries when Japan went from chaos to violence to a land of ritual refinement and peace. But stability came at a price: for nearly 250 years, Japan was a land closed to the Western world, ruled by the Shogun under his absolute power and control. This DVD brings to life the unknown story of a mysterious empire, its relationship with the West, and forging of a nation that would emerge as one of the most important countries in the world.

This series recounts the rise, glory, demise and legacy of the empire that marked the dawn of the Western civilization.
