About time they started making more Roman-era films. Gladiator came out in 2000.

The HBO series "Rome" was good, although being on that network, it was edging toward softcore porno.

"Not that there's anything wrong with that."

Anyway, not to tout anything, but there's a DVD box with both seasons, complete series, out now, just in time for Christmas. IMHO, season one was better than season two, but the finale was everything it should have been. The last line is right up there with the rest of my favorite last lines. :')
