NICE AUDIO AND VIDEO. INTERESTING VIEWING. THE DVD
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!
