Art of the Roman Empire

Rick Steves’ Europe Season 12 showcases Europe’s great art and architecture. © 2024 | With its vast empire, ancient Rome gave Europe its first common culture. From England to Turkey, we explore the greatest Roman cities, marveling at their over-the-top art, soaring aqueducts, and crowd-pleasing theaters. As Rome fell, saints replaced Caesars and Christianity filled the vacuum with art-filled churches — preserving the grandeur of imperial Rome and inspiring the Europe to come. #ricksteveseurope #artofeurope #arthistory Check out Rick Steves’ Europe travel resources: • “Rick Steves’ Europe” public television series: https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read... • “Travel with Rick Steves” public radio program: https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read... • European tours: https://www.ricksteves.com/tours • Guidebooks: https://store.ricksteves.com/shop/gui... • Travel gear: https://store.ricksteves.com/shop/ • Travel classes: https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read... • Rick Steves Audio Europe app: https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read...
