Professor Alice Roberts charts the rise of civilisation from 6100BCE to the end of the Bronze Age. It was a time of great work in architecture, literature, and the arts, until most of these great civilisations suddenly collapsed, never to rise again, plunging the world into a dark age. Alice reveals how scientists are uncovering what happened to these civilisations - the devastating flood that separated Britain from Continental Europe, the cataclysmic volcanic eruption that wiped out Minoan civilisation, and the discovery of Europe's earliest battlefield – throwing new light on disasters that shaped the world today.

Professor Alice Roberts looks at the rise of one of history's greatest civilisations - the Roman Empire - asking, what was the secret to its success? Experts explore the empire, investigating newly discovered battlegrounds in Britain and Spain to find out how Rome defeated its enemies, making it one of the world's first superpowers. Alice also discovers how Rome itself suffered military disaster in the forests of Germany, but how its eventual downfall was the enemy within - the decadence and misrule of the emperors that were Rome's real curse.

Despite these disasters, archaeologists are revealing a world where trade continued, cultures flourished, and new world religions emerged and spread.

In the final episode of Curse of the Ancients, Professor Alice Roberts looks at one of the most cursed periods in European history - the Middle Ages. Archaeologists reveal how wars, such as the Mongol invasion of Hungary, the Black Death that wiped out up to half of Europe's population, and climate change causing cataclysmic floods – turned our ancestors' world upside down. Death was a part of everyday life. With such calamities, Western society was on the verge of collapse. So how did it survive, and how did these catastrophes lay the foundation for the modern world?
