Told through the eyes of Livia Druisilla, Emperor: The Rise and Fall of a Dynasty tells the saga of five power-hungry rulers and the imperial women who defined them.

The assassination of Julius Caesar plunged Rome into chaos, leading to the rise of one of history's most notorious and scandal-ridden dynasties. Over the next century, this twisted and incestuous family relentlessly pursued power, establishing the world's first hereditary dictatorship. Told through the eyes of Livia Druisilla, Emperor: The Rise and Fall of a Dynasty will narrate the saga of five power-hungry rulers - Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero - each embroiled in a brutal struggle for supremacy, driven by the primal urges of sex and violence.—Channel 5
