"Still the finest mini-series I've ever seen"

It's a small-scale epic, and a family saga (which the small scale helps bring front and center,) and the most successful black-humor I have ever seen this side of Stanley Kubrick's wide screen. Mordantly funny and painful at the same time. The Lion in Winter can't hold a candle to it, even though that's a wonderful movie. Brilliant acting and the most terrible grandmother in the history of film, bar none. The remastering is great and everything looks much better than could ever have come across on the airwaves when it was first made. Sex and cruelty and history meet real intelligence: everybody wins.

Greetings:
I first saw a poor copy of this in Germany. When I returned to the States, I bought the Region 1 version and have not been disappointed. Great story. And fairly close to history while showing the Roman Rulers for what they were. If you never bought another DVD on Rome, make it this one. WELL worth the money.

....though I wonder now if all the history presented is actually the truth! That Livia, Augustus's wife, is presented as just totally evil and manipulative. Could she have been that single-minded? I think, if true, it points to an identifiable psychological problem!
The videos are a treat to use--don't have to wait for that damn "ROOT MENU" on DVDs to start watching the movie. Sometimes old technology is nice to use.
I've got to read my Gibbon's "Roman Empire", though how a monkey could write a history of Rome I don't know....

"This series is the BBC at its best"

This drama series is the BBC at its best. As a child, I was absolutely enthralled by this program. It spurred me on to work harder at Latin and gave me a life-long love of Rome and the transition from the Republic to the Empire. At $25 for the complete series, this DVD is tremendous value.
In some respects, the series is reassuring in that it highlights the immutability of human nature. It's an absolutely superb series.
"Roman Madness"

After you have seen this production, you can see why Masterpiece Theater has the excellent reputation for it's productions, particularly the early years. You have to be familiar with going to plays to appreciate the style it is done in, as it is like going to a London West End play. The new generation who has never been exposed would probably find it difficult to watch.
What a treat to see Derek Jacobi, William Hurt, and all excellent theater people in this production. A diabolical plot of Rome gone mad whose character perform incest, poisoning, and murder makes you glad that you did not live in that period.
