4) The Scourge of God Photo Slideshow
It is 450 A.D. and venerable Rome has stood for twelve centuries. Yet legend and prophecy foretells the Empire’s end in just three years. On the plains of Hunuguri, Attila the Hun is gathering the most menacing army Rome has ever faced. When he attacks, the horror he unleashes will earn him the title, “The Scourge of God.”

5) Hadrian’s Wall Photo Slideshow
The Wall. When the Roman Emperor Hadrian first envisioned the awesome edifice in 122A.D., he sought to use stone, wood, and iron to shield Roman Britannia from the unconquered Celtic barbarians. Stretching over 70 miles from one coast to another, the Wall maintained the security of the Roman Empire’s northern outpost for over two hundred years. But now a visitor has come, and with her, changes for the Wall, and perhaps all of Rome.
