HBO\'s "Rome" to present more realistic look at the

[MARCvSVIBIvSMAvRINvS]

One of the particular pleasures of "Rome" is that of watching something that seems made by people who have taken care to know their stuff — even the stuff they ignore in the name of making their story more like a television show than a docudrama. The historical consciousness extends to the props and costumes and sets; spread across 5 acres at Rome's Cinecittà studios, the re-created city is recognizably Italian in color and texture, rather than the shiny white neoclassical piles that form the Rome of our Hollywoodized imagination. The fact that the streets and houses all seem actually habitable makes the words actors say in them all the more convincing.
