For me, one of the saving graces of the series was the scene where Servilia inscribes her curses against Caesar and Atia on sheets of lead. It was perfectly accurate. those curse sheets have been found all over Roman sites, usually rolled up and deposited where the victim would have to step over them. It was a wonderful piece of verisimilitude.
