The production is like watching History unfold. Unapologetic and unpretentious, gives a new meaning to Roman ambition and the expansion of the empire using the Alpha male Roman soldier. My SPQR tattoo takes on a new dimension..
If I elaborated a little more, it may have been seen as obscene. What I mean is that the Romans literally went about on a wholesale slaughter of males in new territory and followed that with forced inpregnation of the women.. There is a scene near the beginning in which Marcos Antonius (Mark Anthony the lover of cleopatra) "takes" a woman who is herding a flock of sheep near a well travelled road.
I was kidding.....
I know.. Just playing along..
Pullo kicking ass +1... Cool series.
