Although it was still better than many other attempts as far as historical accuracy went. I think they did a much better job of portraying Republican Rome than anything previous (which always seemed to project Imperial Rome back in time).

It was cancelled because it was too expensive to make. Shooting a lot of it in Rome will do that to production costs.

There was a BBC Series called Ancient Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire which was shot using a lot of the costumes and cast from Rome. One of the first times I've ever seen actual, accurate Polybian legionaries on film. Not a suit of lorica segmentata in sight.
