Two hosts take every Roman emperor in turn, tell the life properly, and then score him across categories they invented, feeding a league table that runs the length of the series. The scoring sounds like a gimmick and turns out to be a teaching device: put Claudius next to Aurelian on the same scale and you have to decide what an emperor was actually for. 247 hours, and it takes the obscure third-century men as seriously as the famous ones.

Where to start. Augustus, so the scoring has a benchmark. 01 Baccus Groundus · 77 min
