Rome: The Augustan Age (1982, BBC)

Architecture and Town Planning
Ostia, the ancient port of Rome, is used as an example of Roman town planning and architecture. Explains the ground plan of the city, examining the various categories of buildings and spaces in detail, especially regarding their construction and function. Views the shops, warehouses, apartments, temples, baths, etc. as components of the economic and social unit of the town.

Herod and Judaea
Surveys the architectural achievements of Herod the Great, a "client-king" of the Roman Empire in Judaea and one of the master builders of the ancient world. Documents the remains of his buildings in Caesarea and Samaria, and details findings from the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron, the Citadel (David's Tower), Masada, Herodion, and the Winter Palace at Jericho.

Town and Country
Studies the Roman Empire's urbanization pattern, developed by Augustus, which depended both on the colonization of towns to secure peace in the surrounding countryside and on the development of roads to link the farmlands and towns with Rome. Uses archaeological evidence to reconstruct the interdependent life of the towns and the prosperous country, focusing on the town of Cosa and the local villa Sette Finestre, and on the town of Lucas Feroniae and the nearby villa of the Volusii.
