Ursus Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 The History Channel produces DVDs of various quality. They are having a New Years sale on select items. Their ancient history productions usually aren't too bad. Check out the "shop" section at http://www.history.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecimusCaesar Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I don't have the History channel, but I remember watching and enjoying a program called 'The Roman War Machine' back in 2000/2001. Of the ancient Roman programs that I have seen since, most have been rather inaccurate. Then again I must have missed out on some rather good shows over the years.

Ursus Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 A few years ago the History Channel produced some quality shows on ancient history. Lately its programming just sucks, however, with little mention of ancient history at all. Some of its programming is not even history per se - such as its specials on UFOs. A few days ago I watched one of its productions on the battle of the Hot Gates in the Persian wars. It was really well done! And it made a DVD on Roman engineering which wasn't bad; You'll see a review on it in the coming months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
