‘Secrets of the Dead’ presents ‘Queens of Combat’

Wednesday, January 28 at 9 p.m.

What if women were hidden among the ranks of Ancient Rome’s fearsome gladiators?

A group of experts searches for evidence to prove women once fought in the arena just like men. Combining history, archaeology and forensic investigation, journey across Europe in a quest for answers. If a female gladiator’s existence can be proven definitively, what can we learn about their lives?

Take a step back in time. See the earth as it once was. Meet creatures and people you could only dream of like Lucy, the 3.2-million-year-old fossil. With content presented by Arizona PBS, learn about ancient civilizations and enrich yourself with fascinating histories.
