It's like a transport beam back into the age of the Roman empire at it's height. The scenery is fantastic, every detail is considered, and we are brought into the middle-of the lives of every day citizens of the empire. We see that Rome is made up of people's of.all races and religions, engaged in all manners of professions. We view Rome through the eyes of those engaged in the most popular forms of entertainment (chariot racing and gladiatorial combat) and how they weave into the lives of all Romans, including the aristocracy and the emperor himself! We see how the main characters struggle to live in this advanced though decadent society! Produced by the Emerich Brothers (Independence Day), they have given us an unequaled triumph of a series! "Impressive, WOW!!"
