About this deal

David Bamber as Marcus Tullius Cicero, a moderate politician and scholar, faced with trying to save the traditional Republic from the ambitions of the various characters on the show. He is depicted as craven and willing to take any position to save his own skin. The real Cicero was a Roman politician, writer and orator. La reconstitution historique, les décors et costumes, sont de toute beauté bien qu'un brin étriqués et la réalisation est globalement inégale elle aussi, voire carrément naze avec des combats affreusement confus et brouillons lorsqu'il y en a. En fait, en matière de violence, on reste généralement sur sa faim, car si elle est bien présente, son impact est rarement bien rendu. Une seule bataille est vraiment bien faite et spectaculaire lors de la saison 2... et c'est tout. De la part d'une série HBO, on attendait mieux. HBO chairman Chris Albrecht announced in a July 2006 news conference that season two of Rome would be its last, citing the fact that the series (called "notoriously expensive" by Broadcasting & Cable) had been developed under a two-year contract with the BBC that would have been difficult for the BBC to extend due to the series' cost. [28] [29] Of the storyline, co-creator Heller said: While Pullo descends into Erastes' netherworld, Vorenus negotiates a severance for veteran soldiers. Caesar invites him and Niobe to one of Atia's parties. Cassius attempts to convince Brutus that the life of the Republic is indeed "in your hands." And look at the production values. Is it any wonder, when we see who's behind the camera — Michael Apted and John Milius — that we have an immaculately crafted work?

With Caesar leading his legions against Pompey, Mark Antony is left to govern Rome, much to the alarm of the patricians who must bear the brunt of Antony's new policies. Evander's disappearance causes even more divisions within Vorenus' family. Octavian's education takes a new twist as he faces a rite of passage. With news of disaster in Caesar's campaigns, Atia attempts to hedge her family's future by attempting to scheme with Antony against Caesar, with disastrous results, and begins to wonder if reconciliation with Servilia might not be wise. An ambassador brings Antony offers from Pompey, and he must choose whether to trust to Caesar's fate, or betray a friend. Vorenus and Niobe find intimacy together in the brief time before Antony's legions sail for Greece, and Pullo discovers that blasphemy has its consequences. Octavian is sent away to school because Atia feels that Rome is not safe for men of the Julii. Rome – Season 1". Rotten Tomatoes. Archived from the original on 15 November 2020 .

As the wars in Gaul finally come to an end, Caesar is faced with both triumph and tribulation. On the heels of his victory comes news of his daughter's death. Rewarded with the adulation of the people, he also garners the enmity of powerful opponents and former friends. In Rome, Pompey the Great must balance honor and politics as he is urged to betray an ancient rival and recent friend. Atia of the Julii tries to steer her family on the dangerous path between the growing divisions of power, and in the Gallic countryside, two unlikely allies must reclaim that which Caesar has lost.

So far, every player has been terrific, in particular Ciarán Hinds as Caesar and Max Pirkis as Octavian. Julius Caesar was perhaps the most complex "great" figure in history. Was he a great populist, trying to champion the people against the Optimates, or was he an ambitious demagogue, who was using the Roman mobs to attain the imperium? Hinds depicts this complexity perfectly, while projecting a steely will that is shared by Caesar's emerging protégé, Octavian. Thanks to Max Pirkis's brilliant portrayal, we can already see the no-nonsense pragmatism, ruthlessness and brilliance that will propel this boy into becoming the greatest despot in history. Caesar, at the head of his still advancing army, sends Vorenus and Pullo, along with the Ubian cavalry for reinforcement, on a mission to scout out Pompey's defenses, with the strict mandate to advance only until resistance is met and, if civilians are met along the way, to give Caesar's proclamation to them, and to instruct them to return to Rome and have it read in the forum. Marc Antony tells Vorenus that if no resistance is met and they encounter no civilians, he is to take the proclamation and nail it to the door of the Senate house. Caesar is curious as to why Vorenus is so morose and Antony reveals that Vorenus is a strict Catonian who believes what Caesar is doing is a "terrible sacrilege." Caesar responds that he is only seeking his legitimate right. HBO's 'Rome' Movie Still Marching Forward | ScreenRant". screenrant.com. 5 March 2010. Archived from the original on 15 November 2020 .
