Description
Herod the Great was one of the master builders of the ancient world. The programme surveys the remains of his buildings in modern Israel. It begins with his two new towns, Caesarea and Samaria (Seb...aste) and goes on to the base of the temple in Jerusalem, and then to the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron. The Citadel (David's Tower) is briefly examined before a more detailed study of Masada, the Winter Palace at Jericho, and finally Herodion. The programme shows Herod in relationship to Rome, of which he was a client King. Much of the material aerial footage.
