Accuracy of HBO Series: Rome (would like opinions before buy
#60
Its a great series, but certainly not for the kids. Some of the sexual "situations" may even disgust some adults (I got alittle grossed out once in a while). From what I know of history it's pretty accurate, even if it wasnt the story line is great.

Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo were real characters. They are referenced in Caesar's "Commentaries on Gaul". Both were friendly rivals and are said to have left the safety of their fort together during a Gallic attack and to have killed many Gauls together all by themselves and surrounded. Both were able to survive and return to the fort with lots of honor. (its been a while since I read that, but I'm pretty sure thats the accurate story).

Now with Anti-Varus protection! If your legion is lost for any reason, we will give it back! Guaranteed!
