Negative Positive
Title: mediocre at best
Review: I was expecting a much more thorough history of Rome. This series just skips from one catchy happening in Roman history to another, leaving out huge interesting chunks in between. It lacks details, for instance "when Caesar sailed to Greece he was greatly out numbered". That's it... How many legions did he have? Even the HBO Rome series includes that tidbit of information. Seriously you're being outdone by fiction. The battle at Alesia there wasn't even a map to visually portray the fortifications. Just mediocre reenactments of about 20 Romans fighting a dozen or so Gauls on a plain... I thought there were fortifications???
