Enjoyable
My father is a history buff and he found this DVD enjoyable.
Visual very good. Historical content generally good but with several errors of omission and commission. The barbarians are often portrayed as "freedom fighters", thus their idea of war, conquest, pillage loot etc is "okay". Choice of certain commentators poor as in their agenda does not exactly fit historical facts
If you like historical drama this is a great miniseries. It is accurate but also develops characters as they may have been. You will gain a great understanding of how vast and powerful the Roman empire was.
