a bit light on the history
it was ok , i suppose. but it appeared to be directed by somebody who did gcse history rather than by a true historian. ie. factually correct ( if sparse on detail ) but basically lacking the passion or irony of simon schama, david starkey or michael wood. Not really set in the context of ancient Rome. i half expected to see the protagonist whip out his mobile phone to command the legions.
