Synopsis:

Quo Vadis? (1985)
Franco Rossi's epic mini series about the last days of Rome. Set against the back drop of Rome in crisis General Marcus Vinicius returns to the city from the battle fields and falls in love with a Christian woman, Lygia. Caught in the grip of insanity Nero's atrocities become more extreme and he burns Rome, laying the blame on the Christians. Vinicius races to save Lygia from the wrath of Nero as the empire of Rome collapses around them. Franco Rossi's epic mini series features an outstanding performance by Klaus Maria Brandauer as Nero and features Max Von Sydow as the Apostle Peter.
I, Claudius (1976)
The mini-series follows the history of the Roman Empire, from approximately the death of Marcellus (24/23 BC) to Claudius' own death in 54 AD. As Claudius narrates his life, we witness Augustus' attempts to find an heir, often foiled by his wife Livia who wants her son Tiberius to become emperor. We also see the conspiracy of Sejanus, the infamous reign of Caligula, and Claudius' own troubled period of rule.
Pompei: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (2007)
Epic drama of forbidden love in Pompeii at the city's height of glory, up to the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. We follow nobles, slaves, gladiators and the secret gatherings of early Christians.
