I am totally into it. Not historically accurate but not so far off that I have to scream at the TV. They can't really do another season because Julia (octavian's daughter) has not be born and she plays a major role in Rome's political machinations later on.

Couldn't watch it on wednesday so ended up watching Claudius instead.

I would be totally into it if I ever remembered when it was on :/

When I have enough in my swear jar I will be getting series 1 and watching it all back to back :)

There was a pumkin in the first series. Thinking about it, they don't half get the vegetables wrong.

Good viewing though.
