Ancient Empires
Documentary105 min per episode
Ancient Empires traces how three rulers — Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Cleopatra — built power and reshaped the ancient world. The series follows the foundations of their empires through military ambition, political maneuvering, and the alliances behind each rise. Historian Patrick Wyman and author Simon Sebag Montefiore are among the experts guiding the story, placing these figures in the wider sweep of ancient history. From Macedonia to Rome and Egypt, the focus stays on the decisions, campaigns, and rivalries that turned individual leaders into defining names of empire.
