The television series was incredible. Excellent writing, perfect casting (and that is an understatement), stunning visuals. The book? Meh. I was thinking it was going to have a lot of behind the scenes stories, maybe some story boards, set design drawings, photos of directors interacting with the cast, actor backgrounds, and so forth. The book is mostly nice images from the series, and that's pretty much it. There are a couple of pages of costume designs, a page or two of a couple of sets, but it's mostly photos taken while filming.

this book is good if you wish to have lot of pictures from the show, i was hoping it will be also included some historic facts, but that is not the case.lots of pictures very little text like some woman magazine. it is not what i have expected, but i am also not disappointed , something in between. it is good to have it as a reminder so i don't have to always look at my dvd sets to remind me of some details. design of the book is high quality paper is very nice, photos are professional. so it is not bad all together.but just don't expect that you can learn about actual historic facts from this book.

It is the coffee-table-book (I have expected): many very beautiful illustrations, but not much information about the production or the historical background.

The characters and and their relationships come through quickly and vividly in these brief words and great photographs. They are images of the same people and places as the series, but not right from the video. These are new pictures with subtle characterizations that I agree with, but did not see in the series. The pride shown by Caesar and Cleopatra while showeing off the child Caesarion is one example. It is much easier to study the clothing and the architecture than in the series. Happy purchase.

The book is nice for the fan of the "Rome" HBO series. However, WAY too few pictures of Mark Antony (James Purefoy). Lots more Antony, and I would have given the book five stars.
