A tribute to a fine artist

I am trying to build a list of the best films / TV shows that show history over time. The current list is focused on the Mediterranean and Greco-Roman World, but this is mainly due to availability. I would like to expand it to other parts of the world as well, always looking for advice on choices...

This started as a lark but has turned into a larger project. In a nutshell, I was trying to pull together a cultural history of England and the British Empire from the fall of Rome until WWII through film and TV series. The list is presented in more or less chronological order but certain liberties have been taken to show a time period even if no relevant historical recreation could be found. I will be updating this list with commentary as I work through time. Please let me know if you have any recommendations/replacements, especially in regards to next film or series on deck (not commented on yet).
