What's the best video series or book on Rome?

I've been binge watching documentary style videos on Rome lately, literally staying up until 4am and getting an hour of sleep because I'm in such a Rome phase.

you should check out the literature and history podcast, the episodes on rome are extremely well done. In each episode he covers a piece of literature and uses it as a jumping off point to talk about larger historical topics that informed the work.

Routledge history of the ancient world. Very good series of books. Primary sources obviously, Procopius, Polybius, Livy, Plutarch, Appian, and so on

Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire is pretty good.
