We all know the Italian history but this is right in your front room! nudity from the start, blood, brutality (I sped through some of those) you are waiting to see whats the story of the next family, will they be found out, two faced friends etc. Senates are out maneuvering each other. Had to see the 6 disks and the..14(?) episodes back to back! ...11th and 12th most gorey. A good history lesson, makes you appreciate living in 2017!

Well acted by good British actors and an action packed, story line true to historical events, with optional explanation pop ups. Some scenes are a bit raunchy and not for the faint hearted, But well worth a watch.

I remember this from its first showing, and it still reverberates in my mind. The sets are amazing, the whole production is so realistic and honest, no glamour, giving a really fascinating insight into the Roman world, apparently sophisticated, but at the same time scheming, in-fighting, loyal and disloyal, charming and savage, kindly and brutal. Get both seasons (two separate boxes) for the whole story. Not really suitable for children.. its too realistic and sexual.

Terrifically accurate in cast and characters and scenarios. Probably as realistic of the power, brutalism and the real roman civilization as could be envisaged in todays world. Particularly good at representing both high and low society and it's outlook on life and survival. Photography particularly good and believable. A must for the aficionados of the genre.

Great series, mostly accurate from a historical perspective. But, still able to flesh out a good fictional story. You follow two soldiers, who happen to be there, when history plays out. Series 1 - Caesar to the Ides of March. (No "Et Tu Brute") Series 2 - Antony and Cleopatra It's a rollercoaster of Sex, Violence, Politics and intrigue with a historical backdrop
