Professor Mary Beard is known for her explorations of the ancient world, but here, she looks back on the more recent past and the making of her acclaimed four-part 2016 series Ultimate Rome.

Mary explains how the series wasn鈥檛 just an education for her in regard to the Roman Empire but also provided valuable lessons in the art of film-making. She reveals some behind-the-scenes stories that add new context for viewers of the main episodes. They include the importance of pizza and how Mary's claim to be the first to wear an antique Roman helmet was way off the mark.
