In the final episode of the series, art critic Alastair Sooke is back in Rome to find out why official Roman art became more hard boiled and militaristic as the Roman empire careered from one crisis to another. This was the time when an obscure cult called Christianity rose up to seize the mantle of Western art for centuries to come. Enthusiastic, questioning and engaging, Treasures of Ancient Rome reveals how there was so much more to the Romans than just conquering and soldiering, and charts the decline and fall of the Roman Empire through some of its hidden and most magical artistic treasures.
