Meet the most powerful family in antiquity - emperors, murderers, blackmailers, debauchers and one wise man. This brilliant, award-winning epic traces the history of the Roman Empire from 50 B.C. to A.D. 50, from the reign of Augustus and his wife, Livia, through the treacherous Tiberius, the cunning Caligula and finally Claudius, a most unlikely emperor. Starring Sian Phillips, Brian Blessed and Sir Derek Jacobi as Claudius, this is the original, uncut British production, including some scenes not shown in the PBS broadcast and an added-value program, "The Epic That Never Was."
