Trivia
The show's five acres of outdoor "period" sets were the largest standing set in the world to date.

Goofs
In the series, Octavian's mother, Atia, is alive in 31 BC. She died in 43 BC.

Quotes
Mark Antony: I really think you should reconsider.
Gaius Julius Caesar: Anyone else, certainly. But those 2 - they found my golden standard and survived a storm that killed an army. Now they come face to face with Pompay Magnus. They have powerful Gods on their side. And I will never kill a man with such powerful friends.

Alternate versions
Because episode three is 37 minutes long, it was hard for BBC2 to schedule in the UK, and it was also felt that the short running time would make the episode feel curiously light. The first three episodes were therefore edited down into episodes one and two for the UK. This was mostly achieved by trimming within existing scenes; few scenes were actually lost. The final two episodes of the first series were also edited into a single double-length episode, possibly because it was around the Christmas period and was easier to fit into the holiday schedule than two regular-length slots.

Brilliant

Rome is absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best and most underrated tv series of all-time and is easily one of my favorite shows. The show centers around two Roman soldiers, Titus Pollo (Ray Stevenson) and Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd), as they are caught up in the biggest historical events and involved with the biggest historical figures of that era. The series is also as historically accurate as any show surrounding that era is. HBO is known for being the best when it comes to their tv shows and Rome is right there with the best of them. The entire cast of this show does an incredible job, every actor and actress on screen come off as completely believable. The attention to detail on this show is amazing, the show just takes you into their world and that era and doesn't let go of you. You'll want to binge this series as fast as possible.
