No one said how a lot of the major characters were butchered in this series -- Cicero is portrayed as a mildly-malicious conniving politician; Cato is an ossified old gadfly, etc. The show is good on production values, but its story is atrocious. I love how Romans take a bath in blood in the first episode -- that's the epitome of realism!
Let me spoil the story for you -- the only good "old-fashioned" Roman in the whole series (Vorenus), sells out. An inspiring show you've got here.
