The third episode ventures back approximately 5,000 years to
the creation of the prehistoric monument Stonehenge, then leaps
forward to the reign of Alexander the Great and on to the
modern day to reveal how images have been used by kings,
emperors and politicians for millennia to influence and
manipulate the masses. (CC, Stereo)
The first political lie was probably invented in Rome, by
Augustus, some forty years before the birth of Christ. Learn
