Not a new show, but new to me. I have been wanting to further my knowledge of Roman time and leaders, etc, and this is a historical fictionalized drama/documentary. It Chronicles three of the most famous leaders of the Roman Civilization. I learned a fair amount I didn't know, like Julius Caesar apparently had epilepsy, or that the month of July is named after him, and so forth, and IMDB gives it a 7.0/10 which I'd say accurate. They took some artistic license no doubt in minor areas to make it seem more compelling, but they important big picture stuff is accurate. Fight and battle scenes and visuals are not bad, but the limited budget is obvious. I doubt anyone well-read on this era would learn much, but I found it interesting and educational and gave me some ideas and additional areas/topics of interest to follow up on. I find myself more interested in Greek and Roman times lately. B
