I’m a dedicated fan of HBO’s “ROME”. Even though somewhat dramatized, it was well done and very entertaining.

I actually think ROME was more ambitious and more expensive than what I’m proposing, but with a smaller possible audience. ROME, as I understood it, was a dramatic series, with characters and plot lines that you have to follow from episode to episode. A high-level soap opera. It could only be made if the producers were totally in love and had lots of money.

My series, as I see it, would be more opportunistic, more thrill-seeking, using bits and pieces from old movies, just creating the most entertaining and informative melange possible. Maybe not as fine and artistic as ROME, but perhaps better able to hold 30-year-olds.

Same here. It portrayed Julius Caesar in a pretty favorable light, but they had Augustus as a real snake. I was disappointed that it only ran 2 seasons.

My problem: I have a degree in Classics from one of the most prestigious universities on the planet. I could not stomach 5 minutes of HBO's Rome. I thought it awful. One day, one day we will actually see a true series that accurately reflects Ancient Rome and not some wild imaginings from an Hollywood Producer's mind.
