Ancient Black Ops

The series explores the first ancient assassins. From Ancient Greece to the frozen North, rulers have always needed their elite troops – men trained to perfection, skilled with a devastating array of weaponry – men who will track down their leader's enemies. Ancient Black Ops explores the covert operations of elite troops and hit squads dating back to Viking days and beyond. Each episode will tell the story of a single, action-packed mission, revealing how deadly clandestine groups chose their targets, how they trained and what made them the most feared killers of their time.
