The HBO series "Rome" really fell apart in season two, but having a Roman historian involved as a consultant resulted in decent authenticity in the look and feel (important even though the entertainment industry doesn't make documentaries). One such really cool inclusion was the rotund town crier, sponsored by the guild of millers.

The toldinstone guy makes a lot of vids, they tend to be excellent and cover every nook and cranny, and even with these 1950s-style integrated sponsor messages, well worth watching. And the sponsor messages are easy to skip. IOW, don't write in about it, okay?

Thanks for posting this thread. I'm due to binge-watch Rome again. Been a few years.
