Treasures of Ancient Rome
''Treasures of Ancient Rome'' is a 2012 three-part documentary written and presented by Alastair Sooke. The series was produced by the BBC, and originally aired in September 2012 on BBC Four. In the documentary Sooke sets out to "debunk the myth that Romans didn't do art and were unoriginal".〔(BBC Four - Treasures of Ancient Rome - Episode guide )〕 This is based on the view that Romans heavily incorporated Greek style in their art, and hence produced nothing new or original. Sooke has received some criticism from the media owing to the fact that there is no consensus among academics on this topic, and hence no 'myth' exists in the first place.〔(Treasures of Ancient Rome: why we’re wrong to write off Roman art - Telegraph )〕
==Episode one: Warts 'n' All==
In this episode Sooke begins by focussing on two major works of art, the Capitoline Wolf and the Capitoline Brutus at the Capitoline Museum in Rome. He informs us that through the process of carbon-dating scientists have found the she-wolf to be a thousand years younger than it was formerly considered to be. He then looks at the ''Treu Head'' in the British Museum, and suggests that it must have been fully painted in antiquity, a finding scientists have confirmed from traces of pigment found on the bust. Other artworks featured in this episode include the Altar of Domitius Ahenobarbus, the Tomb of Eurysaces the Baker, the Alexander Mosaic and the Villa of the Mysteries of Pompeii, the ''Head of Augustus'' and the Blacas Cameo in the British Museum, and the Ara Pacis in Rome.〔(BBC Four - Treasures of Ancient Rome, Warts 'n' All )〕
