Sky Arts, 9pm

Italian actress Isabella Rossellini narrates this documentary exploring the once grand and thriving Roman city, told through the work of the writers and artists of the era who visited and imagined it. Pappi Corsicato’s film explores the ruins of Pompeii, one of the richest archaeological sites in the world, and tells the love story of Bacchus and Ariadne, as well as bloody tales of gladiatorial combat. Plus, film-makers analyse some of the secret aspects of the doomed city.
