Heir to Greece and Rome, the Byzantine Empire was also the first Christian empire. Now, after a year of filming on three continents, TLC unlocks this ancient civilization, spanning 11 centuries and three continents. Pass through the gates of Constantinople, explore the magnificent mosque of Hagia Sophia and see the looted treasures of the empire now located in St. Marks, Venice. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - AWFUL!!!!!!! I could not wait for this DVD to arrive. Almost every review given on this site was positive. Now I must believe that all positive reviews must be from friends and relatives of Romer. This is one of the most boring documentaries I have ever watched. I was two hours into it before I finally gave up. I just could not believe something better wasn't on the horizon. I kept wondering if I had received the right DVD. The only reason to watch this documentary is if you need a really good nap. Rating: - The Roman Empire survived well into the fourteenth century. John Romer is the great Egyptologist, historian and archaeologist, who, along with his many books has created and appeared in some of the greatest documentaries ever to grace the small screen ... Byzantium: The Lost Empire is no exception. This masterful work details the greatest Empire of Europe and western Asia in the Middle Ages. The history, as you will learn, starts in 330 C.

Romer visits far flung outposts of the empire where tantalising evidence remains of the civilisation that once dominated much of Europe and parts of the near east. A poignant air of melancholy persists throughout the programs, as Romer finds tantalising bits and ...

The scenery is wonderful, the filming superb, the commentary enlightening and entertaining. Though a film format cannot capture the depth of material of a book, this is still well worth the investment for the big picture view. Many important characters and events in a thousand year history must be left out and that is disappointing but understandable ... Read More Rating: - Superb (instant favorite) documentary. Excellence in writing, narative, set, cultural value First night I received the DVD set I stayed wathing this 208 min long documentary till 2 AM in the morning. Presenter, John Romer, is probably the best presenter of the documentaries I have ever seen on TV. His tells the stories of the greatest cultural and historical value in a lyrical, enaging personal style making you wanting to watch the whole documentary all in one viewing. Being originally from this broader region, and having a foundation in the material itself I still ...
