Rome is a show about the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the first Roman emperor Augustus. It's very historical, pulling characters right out of the history books. Figures such as Julius Caesar, Pompey, Cicero, and Marc Antony all play big parts in the program. They're planning on making a film based on the show.
