Judea pred 2000 rokmi patrila k územiam Rímskej ríše. Mladá žena Mária sa vydá za Jozefa, keď jej anjel zvestuje, že sa stane matkou božieho syna, Ježiša Krista. Porodí ho v maštali v Betleheme, kde ju navštívia traja mudrci, ktorí sa poklonia jej synovi a prinesú mu vzácne dary zlato, myrtu a kadidlo. O 33 rokov neskôr Ján Krstiteľ očakáva príchod nového mesiáša, o čom káže všetkým ľuďom. Mesiášom je Ježiš Kristus. Kráľovi Herodesovi sa jeho kázne nepáčia, pretože vyvolávajú medzi ľuďmi nepokoje, a preto ho dá zatknúť a neskôr popraviť. Ježiš dospel, učil sa a načúval starším, napokon z neho vyrástol duchovný vodca podrobeného národa. Má svojich dvanástich verných druhov, apoštolov, ktorí ho verne nasledujú na jeho ceste...

This seven-hour British-Italian adaptation of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1834 epic, set against the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and previously filmed in 1935, and in 1960 was a vehicle for muscleman Steve Reeves, was trashed by the critics as the campiest of sword and sandal sagas to emerge in years. This despite its reported $19-million price tag, the nobility of its cast that includes Laurence Olivier, Siobhan McKenna and Anthony Quayle, and its rather unspectacular special effects. The central figures are Nicholas Clay as Glaucus, the noble Athenian; Olivia Hussey as the high-born Ione, his love, who is seduced by the Egyptian, Arbaces (Franco Nero), a religious fanatic; Duncan Regehr as Lydon, the champion gladiator; and Linda Purl as the blind slave Nydia, who is torn between Glaucus and Lydon.
The Roman Holidays is a Hanna-Barbera animated television series that was broadcast in 1972 on NBC. It ran for 13 episodes before being cancelled. Very similar in theme to both The Flintstones and The Jetsons, The Roman Holidays brought a look at "modern-day" life in Ancient Rome, around 63 AD, as seen through the eyes of Augustus "Gus" Holiday and his family. The opening showed a chariot traffic jam and a TV showing football on Channel "IV" An Ancient Roman setting was actually one of the ideas that Hanna-Barbera considered as they were working to create The Flintstones.
