Still haven't seen 'Rome' - I'm getting a friend to tape all the episodes and I'll watch them back to back over Xmas in a monster Romathon. From the HBO site episode guides, though, it seems that dodgy helmets and dope-smoking Egyptians are small potatoes, plausability-wise:
You what? hock: That would be Pompey's camp near Pharsalus, i.e on the other side of Greece from the Adriatic? Hell of a lot of 'fierce paddling'! Perhaps it works better on the screen, I dunno...
Quote:Vorenus and Pullo find themselves washed ashore on a small island of sand in the Adriatic, surrounded by the bodies of less fortunate soldiers...
...Desperate for their survival, Vorenus and Pullo build a raft from the bloated bodies of their comrades, and paddle fiercely out to sea. They eventually collapse from exhaustion and dehydration, and awake to find themselves drifting ashore again - this time greeted by what's left of Pompey's camp.
