Ancient Warriors [DVD]

To lead, to fight and to die. Warriors of the old world ranged from soldiers, mercenaries and assassins to zealots, commoners and scholars. They fought battles for Emperors, Kings, Queens, fanatics and Generals. Some murdered for greed, honour and fame. Others killed for religion, vengeance or just pure enjoyment. Whatever the cause, they were pawns, the tools of conquest and brutal suppression in a time before guns and machines of mass destruction made their form of warfare obsolete. From the sand-swept-landscape of Mesopotamia to pristine Scandinavia, Ancient Warriors visits the ancient world to learn about noteworthy and notorious men who slashed and pummeled their way into history.
