A era in television as well as Roman history. The BBC and HBO collaboration, Rome has done very well for it's self, with an Emmy, a Golden Globe nomination and many other awards under it's toga it has been a success although earlier tonight this ended for good as after season 2 there will be no more.
The final episode showed the deaths of Mark Antony and Cleopatora as well as a jubilant coronation for Octavian Caesar. Rome has kept very close to actual Roman history with the lives of it's characters. Although there have been a few changes, one is that the child of Cleopatora and Caesar, Caesarion is actually that of Cleopatora and Titus Pullo, a solider and main character in the series. Lucius Vorenus is the other solider that the series follows and is the man who saves Caesarion from Octavian.
This series has been great quality television and will surely be missed. Lets just hope that the BBC and HBO decided to do another series like this, maybe with Greece. Figures crossed. Oh and if you haven't seen any of this program then, well I don't know what to say. Just try and find a way to watch it and you will understand what you have missed.
My rating: ***** & 1/2
