HBO\'s "Rome" to present more realistic look at the
#48
Great article, Neuraleanus. Thanks for posting it Big Grin . But I'd like to quibble with a couple of things it stated.

From the article :
Quote:(Rome) mutated into an empire and collapsed under the weight of its own corruption.

What ever that means :? . Can't they ever just say that civil wars doomed the empire ?

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

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.
