By Jupiter's ears, I hope so. There is so much more to the story after Julius Caesar is murdered in 44 BC.
Going by the last episode, where Caesar holds up his newborn son (presumably Caesarion) the series is now at about June 23rd, 47 BC.
So we are now about 2½ years prior to Caesar's murder in March of 44 BC. After that is when it gets really interesting. The whole story of Octavian's (Soon to be Augustus Caesar) rise to power, the Second Triumvirate, Antony's affair with Cleopatra after Julius Caesar's death, and Octavian's defeat of Antony at Actium (and all the intrigue that led up to it).
Here's a little time line...
47 BC Caesarion (Ptolemy Caesar) born on June 23.
46 BC Cleopatra arrives in Rome, Caesar appointed dictator for ten years; revision of calendar.
45 BC Caesar defeats the Pompeian forces in Spain.
44 BC Assassination of Caesar. Cleopatra returns to Egypt.
43 BC Second Triumvirate: Antony, Octavian, Lepidus.
42 BC Brutus and Cassius defeated by Antony and Octavian at Philippi.
41 BC Antony 'summons' Cleopatra to Tarsus. They become lovers.
40 BC Reconciliation of Antony and Octavian at Brundisium.
36 BC Antony invades Parthia but is defeated.
35 BC Antony returns to Alexandria.
32 BC Antony marries Cleopatra.
31 BC Octavian (and Marcus Agrippa) defeat Antony (and Cleopatra) at Actium.
I had understood that this series was going to tell only this one story about Caesar. A mini series like Band of Brothers. I'm very glad if that is not true, as I cannot find a thing about it on the website.
It is interesting how Antony carried out Caesar's planned war against Parthia using Caesar's 'back-door' strategy of invading through Armenia, and how he so badly botched it -- starting the campaign too late, leading him to leave his supply train defended by only two legions while he hurried ahead to Phraaspes. These two legions were promptly defeated by the Parthians who wisely avoided Antony's main force. This main force then tried to lay siege to Phraaspes, where Antony planned to stay for the winter, w/o most of the siege equipment. He failed, and was then forced to withdraw, and it was this retreat (weather and lack of supplies) that was responsible for most of his losses, and not the Parthians who (I think???) didn't actually defeat Antony in battle.
Even though Caesar was known for his rapid, bold, and even reckless moves, I have a hard time believing he would have faired so badly.
But anyway, ROME has been renewed for a second season, but it won't start filming until next year, and won't air until 2007. This should actually work to its favor though, as it will allow the actor who plays Octavian to grow into the the approximate proper age for the character at the time of Caesar's death.
