Pompeii graffiti & sex From BBC History Show

June 13, 2011 by Alex Roe

I thought it was too good to be true! As of 16th June, 2011 – the Hidden History of Rome documentary is no longer available. I’ve replaced it with the much shorter Pompeii graffiti & sex appeal video from the BBC history show ‘Gladiators: The Brutal Truth‘ – also presented by Terry Jones.

Ex-Monty Python Welshman Terry Jones is something of history buff and this short excerpt from the ‘Gladiators: The Brutal Truth’ documentary takes a look at the life of Rome’s legendary Gladiators. Being something of a history buff myself, I found it very interesting, so I thought others may too, which is why it is here.

There are some lovely shots of Pompeii, Italy’s mismanaged wonder of a ruin, too.

Happy viewing fellow history fans!

Now all you have to do is to go see Pompeii and Rome! I’ve been to both, and found Pompeii especially fascinating.

    Extraordinary!

    I wish you’d change your name so I could get it right.

      You can call me Alec, Judith – others have in the past and I don’t really mind.

      A presto,

      Alex

      It’s worth how long it takes to watch it, I feel.

      Hope you like it.

      Chow, chow,
