Rome - Complete First Series

The year is 52 B.C. Four hundred years after the founding of the Republic, Rome is the wealthiest city in the world, a cosmopolitan metropolis of one million people, epicentre of a sprawling empire. The Republic was founded on principles of shared power and fierce personal competition, never allowing one man to seize absolute control. But now, those foundations are crumbling, eaten away by corruption and excess. After eight years of war, two soldiers, Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo unwittingly become entwined in the historical events of ancient Rome. A serialized drama of love and betrayal, masters and slaves, husbands and wives, ROME chronicles a turbulent era that saw the death of a republic and the birth of an empire.

Rome as it was

Well what can i say? To start with, its quite accurate factually, Caesar was a complicated and yet very loyal man, hated by certain factions of the hierachy but loved by the mob, this man who suffered epilepsy, but could command his legions to defeat any enemy far greater in number than his own. Yet was also able to be ensnared by a woman half his age (Cleopatra VI) who would eventually bring about his murder by a group led by Brutus and Cassius. The acting is superb and this series tells it how it actually was, not grand, but as ROME was, grubby, dirty and a very dangerous place to live, whether you were rich or as poor as a pauper. the best series HBO have done since Band of Brothers. Highly recommended.

A Must See

I dont know anyone who watched this on TV but they missed a treat. Its a must see if youve run out of films to see. It has a quality feel on a small budget and puts you right back in the heart of Rome 2000+ years ago but with a weekly soap type of feel. The fist 5 or 6 episodes leave you gasping for more.
