"Rome" might not be history, series creator says.

[Lemur]

The series was great and deserved every prize and positive review it got. My only problem with it was the lack of epic battles in it.

Yeah, well, the day they can do a convincing simulation of epic battles for cheap, they'll throw them in. As it stands, the costs of sets, costumes and everything else torpedoed the series.

Yeah, I wish they had kept it going. Idjits.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Once these film companies can actually afford to give directors the funds to hire 200,000 people to portray opposing armies in an "epic" battle like Plataea or Gaugamela, then I'll start complaining about CG armies...

After reading this, I feel compelled to rent the DVDs.

If you enjoy Roman history, ACIN (and not solely the military aspects of it), then you should. It's really entertaining.

I'm envious.

Sucker.
