The Germanic Tribes: The Complete Saga - 2PK DVD

Were ancient Germans simply the barbarians of the North who sacked Rome, as many believe, or was their relationship with the Romans more complex? This four-part series argues that Germanic tribes actually preserved the Roman legacy, after phases of unreported cooperation and co-existence with the empire they eventually toppled. Learn about the intricate society of the Germanic tribes, their settlements, how they buried their kings, and more.

500 Years of Saint Peter's DVD

Its beauty has transfixed viewers since 1506, yet Saint Peter's Cathedral is still new, compared to the tomb it conceals. Begun by architect Donato Bramante, and completed by such artists as Michelangelo, Bernini, and Raffael, the new Saint Peter's shelters the far humbler tomb of the saint himself, more than a thousand years older. The new cathedral has survived wars, intrigue, and religious infighting to symbolize the Roman Catholic Church.
