This series brings the rise and fall of the Roman Empire to life through the lens of one of the most exhilarating and brutal arenas in the history of humanity: the Colosseum. From the savage truth of a gladiator's life as a slave-warrior to the fascinating ways Rome's emperors used the vast amphitheater to demonstrate total power, "Colosseum" offers a unique and personal look inside history's most iconic empire. Spanning several hundred years, the series unfolds chronologically, from the arena's incredible opening day to its very last games.
S1, EP7 "Commodus"
All of Rome's emperors have put great value on spectacles and games, but only one steps out of the Imperial Box and onto the sands of the arena; a far cry from his father, the great Emperor Marcus Aurelius, Commodus is quick to make enemies.
S1, EP8 "The Pagan"
By the fourth century AD, a divided Roman Empire is rocked by devastating earthquakes, fires, barbarian invasions and deep religious divides; as Rome declines, the Colosseum, which once stood as a proud symbol of the Empire's glory, lies empty; to restore Rome, one man, a devout worshiper of Rome's old Gods, turns to the arena; can staging elaborate and expensive games there reverse Rome's decline?

Galen of Pergamon makes a name for himself as a physician for gladiators in the arena; a devastating plague sweeps through the city, and Galen catches the attention of Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
S1, EP5 "The Martyr"
The public execution of criminals is a staple, but during Trajan's 123 days of games in A.D. 107, one of these victims is no ordinary prisoner; Bishop Ignatius of Antioch is part of a growing underground religion, threatening Roman traditions.
