History - Murder in Rome

Dramatisation of a murder trial that took place in Rome in 81BC. Based on records written at the time, it re-enacts the story of Sextus Roscius, a man accused of murdering his father - a crime that carries the death penalty. His fate lies in the hands of the lawyer Cicero, whose own involvement in the case may also put him in mortal danger. With Paul Rhys and Owen Teale.
