Semi-documentary approach to bread and games: The HISTORY Channel invites you into the battle arena, bridging hundreds of years of Roman history.
Familiar from sandal movies, Spartacus, Asterix and Ridley Scott's "Gladiator." The Roman Colosseum has a very eventful, but above all bloody history, which has been told with Russell Crowe's "Am I not entertaining you?" far from over. That takes over now the HISTORY
Channel, which brings a piece of Roman history to life under participation of renowned historians and with impressive staging expenditure. Each episode is dedicated to a different main character, with whom we dive into the turbulent history of the arena. As part of the series camp festival, we show the first episode and then talk in detail with the archaeologist and Rome expert Dr. Sascha Priester about the fascination with the place that stands for "Bread & Games" like no other.
