Fatal Conflicts The Rise and Fall of Civilisations

Fatal Conflicts: the Rise and Fall of Civilisations is a two-part documentary exploring two defining ancient rivalries: Xerxes vs Themistocles in the Second Greco-Persian War, and Hannibal vs Scipio in the Second Punic War. In each, a dominant empire, Persia or Carthage, faces a rising force, Greece or Rome.
