Me thinkst thou doest protest too much!

One tip, don't watch fictionalized dramas for your history research.

The show is very appealing to me. They clearly took great pains to display roman villas and some low rent neighborhoods accurately.

The cast is terrific.

I don't remember any roman movie which portrayed the daily lives of roman soldiers and then as civilians as well as this does

I suggest if, you can't enjoy this fiction, you may want to read another history book.

I think I Claudius is one of the best things I have ever seen, but it does not distract me from enjoying Rome. I hope it goes on for years.

It is coming to an end. It is Dynasty with togas. Anthony's wife/lover was FULVIA, not Attia. Attia was already dead by the time he carried on with Cleopatra. And he was already Cleo's lover by the time he married Octavia. One anacronism after another.

But I think this season is it...... A shame really, they could go all the way to Marcus Aurelius....
