    This production is one of the most expensive in the history of television.... And it looks it! Funding was generously employed to recreate an impressively detailed set featuring a number of Roman Villas, the Forum, and a vast slum area of the ancient city of Rome. Except for the fact that that everyone speaks English (although all the writing is on Latin) you would think it was real!

    This is really a great series for those who have an interest in both the history and culture of Rome. While it takes artistic license on some of the historical aspects, it never seems out of place and you feel like you really are looking at the power struggles in the late Republic. Every episode leaves you hungry for more. Definitely recommend!

    This was definitely a stepping stone for HBO into the exotic productions they have now with such TV's shows as Game of Thrones. Though this series is short, it covers quite a lot of history that later shaped Rome. Acting is superb and production is better than most movies.

    HBO re-released Rome Season 1 on blu-ray with a Digital HD code. Season 2 in the same packaging with Digital HD seems to be non-existent. Other than that, HBO quality release as usual. Great transfer, sound, etc.

    I loved how the story was based from the view of two soldiers. You see their side, not that of the larger characters. Though it is great, you cannot let the kids watch it. Definitely for after bed time viewing.

    On par with Game of Thrones. Love these period pieces. Wish they produced more than 1 season. Hope HBO brings it back. You will love this series. Not for kiddies, so be forewarned.

    Rome is fantastic! They did an excellent job with the high definition with the Blu-ray version. I have lost count of the number of times I have watched this series.

    great historical significance and a great plot that for once does not focus on the major characters but rather on ordinary people.
