At times, this feels like a travel guide rather than archaeology. The tone is superficial and uncritical - sometimes, it almost feels like cheerleading for the Roman Empire. The sequence is also haphazard, jumping backward and forward in time and place, with no attempt at any overall evolution. All that said, some of the segments go to places rarely covered, like the coast of Libya. The camera work is uneven (at one point, there was clearly a smudge on the lens), but still there is also some nice work in a few spots despite the reused elements.
