An Empire Conquered is a moving docu-drama filmed on location in the "eternal city" of Rome. This film brings to life the intriguing days of early Rome, when the power of Pax Romana was unchallenged throughout the known Western World. In the three hundred years that followed the reign of the all-powerful Octavian Augustus who died in AD 14, Rome was torn apart by a controversial religion known as Christianity. Infiltrating even thee ranks of the imperial household and the powerful Roman senate, the followers of Christ, though cruelly persecuted and martyred for their beliefs, eventually won over the entire Roman Empire to their faith.

Through the centuries this era has continued to fascinate us. Why were the Christians so brutally persecuted by the Romans? How did the church survive when the cost of becoming a convert could mean death? And who were those early Christians who in spite of incredible pressure, remained unshakeable in their beliefs?

This documentrary tells of heroic early martyrs. It looks at five such Christians who lived in Rome during those turbulent years - Augustus, Clement, Cecilia, Apollonius, and Agnes.
