Synopsis

We don't have to look to works of fiction to find tales of true love. And many of them are among the greatest love stories ever told. Ancient Love Stories brings together some of the most remarkable romances in history - from tales of fearless queens and besotted emperors to men who died fighting for the men they loved.
