Loved the series, hoping for season 3. This is a great series based on history.

This captivating, compelling, culturally accurate rendition of ancient Rome is a well-written, acted, directed, staged, and screened story of two soldiers. Their story intertwines with Julius Caesar, Brutus, Anthony, and Cleopatra. Rome captures the world of Rome in detail, from the music, to the graffitti on the walls, the town crier, the orgies, the parades, the gladiator pit, the calender, life at the family dinner table, the slaves, the religious rites, the street gangs, homosexuals, the Jews, Egyptians, the barbarian tribes, the military camps, the theatre, the brothels, the opium dens, and the senate. Rome's focus on the women of the age elevate it beyond all of the other films about Rome, even "Spartacus" and Marlon Brando's great version of "Julius Caesar", and breaks new ground. Like many, my only complaint is that the story ends, when in reality, the Roman Empire lasted 10,000 years, and there is much more of the story to be told. My sincere thank you goes to John Milius and his magnificent crew of writers and actors that pulled off this masterpiece.

DVD's and case are made of good quality material. All DVD's are viewable, but are similar to the 'Complete 1-6' of the Sopranos...unauthorized boxset with bootleg DVDs. The actual DVDs have Chinese writing on them...and a small logo on the back is burned off (on every disc).
Note that some players have issues with these. Better off buying both seasons seperately.

I bought the two seasons of Rome and have loved every last minute of it. Wonderful information available on screen along with audio commentaries and many extra documentaries. TV at its very best.

This show took my breath away and I just had to have it on DVD. A whole new world -- a world of blood and iron, of blazing sun and sinister shadow, of larger-than-life TRUE historical characters living and dying as human beings. All created and filmed in loving detail so that I felt I had really found a time warp to get back to one of my favorite historical periods. When I recommended this show to my friend, he said he didn't trust it because it ended after only two seasons -- but each season ended with a logical full stop in history so it made sense. No make-believe, no false drawing-out of the story to fill empty episodes like so many other TV series. When it's over, it's over -- except now I can enjoy it again with my DVDs. Whew! what a ride!
