Thank you Andy, though I must admit that last night's episode pushed me to the limit.
Octavian was a sadist?
Did I miss something somewhere in some history about Augustus?
Liva has only one child -- Tiberius? What about Drusus, father of the future emperor Claudius?
And where are Octavian's first two wives? (To say nothing of Julia.)
hock: :? shock: :? (
I know, I know...it's just HBO and as in all of their other shows they feel the need to "spice it up" a bit, but really...
One would have thought that of all the histories one could look at, that of the ancient Romans would be the one least in need of any additional spice. Their history is plenty hot already thank you very much.
Only two more episodes left -- will we make it to Actium?
"Warp speed Mr. Scott."
:wink:
