Nope. Check out Connolley's "The Ancient City" for nice images of the subura and parts of the city. Everything in hollywood is too white with too much marble, usually. Most of Rome was brick, left plain or stuccoed.

If you ever get the chance, go to Ostia, just a short train ride from Rome, it really gives you the character of a roman city.
