Accuracy of HBO Series: Rome (would like opinions before buy

[Decimus Claudius Drusus]

The sets were wonderfully done, especially the outdoor scenes down city streets and such. Inside houses were often seemingly accurate, based on things like Pompeii, but I really got a feel of the street life. Not all the costuming was bad. The common people on the street, maybe were pretty close.

If you have the money to spare, it's fun to see. I liked the first Augustus much more than the second.

I dont know, even though it may not be backed up with much literary evidence, i rather enjoyed the cold and cut throat Augustus of the second season.

And i agree with you the sets were great, especially the Aventine.
