Ancients Behaving Badly

The History Channel explores the world's most famous leaders from ancient times in this documentary style DVD set. One of the leaders featured is Cleopatra.

Take an innovative look at some of the world s most fascinating, iconic, and ruthless leaders as HISTORYTM cuts through the folklore to present precise portraits of characters from Alexander the Great to Genghis Khan and Caligula to Cleopatra. Using the latest historical discoveries, forensic science tests, archaeological finds, analysis of torture instruments, and battlefield dynamics, ANCIENTS BEHAVING BADLY sheds light on these leaders and how they really came to power (most killed off family members); treated their subjects, friends, and family; were so successful in keeping their power; demonstrated battlefield leadership; and achieved such spectacular transformations at home. Expert interviews, on-location shots, and CGI help to re-create their environments and provide stunning reenactments.
