Ancient Rome: the Rise and Fall of an Empire

[Carus Andiae]

I'd swear I saw a Montefortino (outside the recycled footage, I mean). However, overall it looked pretty authentic (to my relatively untrained eye).

I suppose the simplistic concentration on Christian was the result of the same belief that dropped Agrippina from the Nero episode that too much information only confuses the Great British Public.

By the way, there's an interesting letter in new Radio Times. Apparently Rome was "entertaining and, yes, educational" :? the Rise and Fall of an Empire[/i] (Thursdays BBC1) which has proved what every schoolchild knows: plain history is boring. Don't listen to the geeks again!"

So there you are. We're all geeks. Be proud of it. And I expect to see a great deal more sex on these forums from now on, otherwise how will we know that what is being said is historically accurate? :roll:
