Rome starts on BBC 2
On Wednesday 2 November 9 pm the HBO-BBC epic coproduction Rome starts on BBC2.
After eight years of war, Julius Caesar has triumphed over the Gauls and looks set to return to Rome. But his soaring popularity is making his co-counsel Pompey Magnus fear that he wants to seize control and return as a dictator. When Caesar’s personal standard is stolen, Mark Antony entrusts two unwilling soldiers, Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo, with the near impossible task of retrieving it.
As well as being a feast for the eye, Rome provides food for thought. It offers, for example, many modern-day political echoes.
