Great article, Neuraleanus. Thanks for posting it . But I'd like to quibble with a couple of things it stated.
From the article :
What ever that means :? . Can't they ever just say that civil wars doomed the empire ?
Great news, IMO. What the boob is trying to say is that English (specifically "High London")accents give off an aura of belonging to the aristocratic class. I agree with that, but the main reason I wanted Brits to be cast was because they tend to be classically trained actors.
From the article :
Quote:(Rome) mutated into an empire and collapsed under the weight of its own corruption.

Quote:(HBO) signed up a remarkable roster of British actors.... "They tend to think English actors sound more convincingly Roman."
