Low-res version; Two episodes; 1 hr, 44 min.
This is the two-part National Geographic special about the Byzantine Empire. The first part is a laying of the groundwork, an answer to the challenge of condensing a millenium plus into a forty-five minute television show. Not bad.
The second part is for the Byzantium buff, and is full of little tidbits I’d never heard before. Worth your time, if you like history.
