Byzantium The Lost Empire (2007)

For more than 1,000 years the Byzantium Empire was the eye of the entire world - the origin of great literature, fine art and modern government. Heir to Greece and Rome, the Byzantine Empire was also the first Christian Empire and a conduit of cultures from China to Iceland. Now, after a year of filming on three continents, this production unlocks this ancient civilization, spanning 11 centuries of history and innovation.

Pass through the gates of Constantinople, explore the magnificent mosque of Haiga Sophia and see the looted treasures of the empire now located in St Marks, Venice. In this four part series, you will see antiquities never before filmed for television and be transported to a world that history has nearly forgotten.
