Quote:Yes, true. However, I think with each episode the deeds of Pullo and Vorenus become less and less believable. And also I think that when the programme began to take its attention off the army it became boring. For example, the battle of Pharsalus lasted a few seconds which was quite disappointing and it was one of the most important battles in the whole campaign. I think it became more about 'conspiracy' and grand love-affairs rather than the lives of normal citizens.
I agree. I didn't mean in terms of you writing it, actually, but in terms of publishers publishing it and readers reading it - you might find people relating your work too closely to something they've seen on TV. Something to bear in mind, that's all. But if you can present a better or more interesting take on the period, by all means do!
