Summary:Helmed by 2 major production juggernauts, HBO and BBC, Rome's 12-episodes are reputed to be the most expensive and lavish television production ever made at a purported budget of $170 million. Many early descriptions of this series compared it to the BBC's grand 1976 mini-series, "I, Claudius" as both series focus on the political machinations at work behind the obligatory warfare set in ancient Rome before the advent of modern society. However, "Rome" follows the footsteps of the legendary Gaius Julius Caesar and his rise and fall in the most powerful and decadent city of the time. Historical fiction, it may be, but its foundations lie firmly in the story and themes we have become familiar with. The betrayals, the scheming and the debauchery all take centre stage in this epic retelling of the final years before Caesar's untimely murder in the Senate House. [www.theurbanwire.com]
