Classical Video material on YouTube and elsewhere

Over the years I have recorded a large number of programmes from TV broadcasts and amassed a collection of VHS video cassettes, which I am no longer able to store. Check out the details of what's available here and contact me if you are interested in having any of these cassettes.

There is a wealth of video clips and whole programmes of classical interest on YouTube and similar. I hope to compile here a helpful and substantial catalogue, as a ready reference for teachers and students. Let me know of any gems you come across and I will add, organise and integrate them into a developing catalogue. Here is a beginning:

NB These videos were available when listed here, but there is no guarantee that they are still or will remain on line. YouTube requires that those who post videos have the copyright, and ARLT relies on that assurance, but cannot guarantee that the videos were in fact posted with copyright permission.

Roman Civilisation:

Pompeii - Grandeur and Decline parts 1-5 documentary split into handy, bite-sized 10 minute segments

Greek Civilisation:

Engineering an Empire - Greece 1-5 A 50 minute American documentary split into 5 sections. Origin unknown. An outline history of Classical Greece.

In search of democracy An Australian documentary on pre-Athenian assemblies, Athenian democracy and its decline, and (very briefly) Roman and later democracy.
