Hokum... - By: Tim Danaher, 15 Oct 2008
Highly historicallly inaccurate, the portratal of the pale, sickly, yet highly politicallly-astute Octavian as a bronzed muscled Latin jock is a bit hard to swalllow. You reallly get the impression that this was a rushed-out spoiler to HBO's 'Rome'.

Still, it's enjoyable enough, as long as you don't obsess over the details. Some *are* correct -- like the staging of gladitorial combats in temporary, 'bleacher-like' enclosures (a lot cheaper to stage, too...;0).

And, in Colm Feore, we have a Caesar who looks remarkably like the portraits we have.

So, don't get your hopes, up -- just enjoy the set pieces, the scenery & the architecture.
