This has to be bait, how can you seriously not enjoy Rome if you're into Roman history?
Hudson Thompson
rome was canceled because BBC was kicking in half the funding. Then pulled out once rome started reenacting biblical events... without jesus.
Nathan Wilson
It felt very rushed and forced, the acting was ehhh.
Colton Davis
What the fuck is this true
Logan Ross
I thought BBC was angry because not enough diversity.

To be fair, it was rushed at the end because it had been cancelled. Originally it was meant to have at least 7 seasons, but at the end they rushed it so it could end after the Battle of Actium and the elevation of Augustus as Princeps/Emperor.
>half the funding
This is wrong, HBO covered most of the budget, BBC's slice was pretty small. The BBC pulled out due to the expense, 15 million on one show for them at the time was a lot of money, especially when the show wasn't doing fantastically ratings-wise. HBO wasn't willing to extend their budget, so they cancelled. This is definitely bullshit, it was all about money. The whole diversity meme is only a recent thing.

They didn't, that poster was talking shite.
There was rumours that the show would eventually get to Jerusalem, since they had the Jewish plot, and there would be references to the birth of Jesus or something; but nothing religious happened during the show. I mean, it ended in fucking in 27BC.

Roman Republic, ruled by an oligarchy, citizenship only for Romans, tons of rules to keep people in their class.
Life was way better for the average person in the empire.
Ave Caesar
Landon Green
Just off the top of my head...
feast of the Aventine, bread and fish
jews trashing money changers
brutus baptizing himself, washing away his past/sins, etc.
There was more, the show was definitely setting up jesus to be some prick taking credit for shit he was nowhere near.
Bentley Carter
If you meant I Clavdivs, I agree.
Parker Reed
