Simon Sebag Montefiore begins the series with a look at how every event in ancient Rome revolved around religion. He charts the rocky course of Rome's rise to become the capital of Western Christendom and its impact on the lives of its citizens, elites and high priests. And finally he tells the story about Rome's rise from the abandonment and neglect of the 14th century into the everlasting seat of the papacy recognised today.
