I liked the movies "Quo Vadis", "The Fall of the Roman Empire", "Cleopatra", "The Robe", "Gladiator", and "Ben-Hur".
Augustus was by far the most impressive! He united and expanded the Empire.
The next few rulers were rotten (sorry to say). Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero- Oh My! Tiberius wasn't evil. Just paranoid.
But later there were some great names- Marcus Aurilius comes to mind (and I know I spelled that wrong. sorry). And Constatine and Charlemange- both Holy Roman Emperors after the Empire converted to Christianity.

The BBC series "I Claudius" based on the Robert Graves novels was really good. I read the books and own the series on DVD.
It covered the riegns of Augustus, Tiberias, Caligula and Claudius. Augustus was my favorite. A truly great man.

the following in Britain no longer lots. The British from the time of Queen Boudica on, had spent a large style of their time both plotting hostile to Roman rule or happening the march to duff them up. Queen Boudica's British military, comprising the may of the Icani and Briganties armies, smashed their way by ability of two Roman Legions [wimps], burnt the garrison of Colchester to the floor, shoved 2000 Romans into the temple there and set it ablaze. The massed ranks of the British Celts then marched on London. God help any Romans there. Boudica's British military killed each residing ingredient contained in the city, men, women folk, little ones, dogs, cats etc. They bumped off each of the treasure and valuables they needed which contains livestock and pigs etc then set fireplace to the city of London and burnt it to a crips. in case you dig down 30 feet everywhere contained in the city of London right now, you come back to this charcoal layer - the remains of the unique Roman London. fortuitously the Brits managed to kick the Romans out of england contained in the fourth century ad - bunch of spix. The King of england, Vortigern, invited the Saxons in and something else is historic past.. Wales invariably and Celtii bew [the residing Celts] lack of existence to Rome.
