Ursus Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Does anyone actually check this? Yep, I do. I'm a big fan of Rick Steve's Europe, which is produced by PBS. The episode on Ancient Rome was really well done. I highly recommend it. It amazes me how little the "History Channel" actually has on Ancient Rome. It used to be the Hitler channel, with a WWII program every night. Now it is just a lot of fluff. It has really gone down hill in the past few years.

I'm especially planning to tune in to this: Thursday 11/15/07 Skeletons of Roman Ashkelon HDT = 8:00 am Archaeologists excavating the ancient city of Ashkelon find skeletons of 100 newborns.
