A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.

RULES:

No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.
Memes must be Rome-related, not just the title. It can be about Rome, or using Roman aesthetics, or both, but the meme itself needs to have Roman themes.

I still point this show out as being some of the best television. Arguably helped set the groundwork for things like Game of Thrones a few years later.

I never watched it and have it on my list but from what I gather it ended a bit abruptly - how finished does it feel at the end?

It's alright. It feels kind of completed. But do yourself a favor and watch at least Season 1.

Spoilers, but only broadly.

Season one is the rise and fall of Caesar. Season 2 is Octavian's initial rise and consolidation but I really wanted a third season with him at the height of his imperial power.

The cast is stacked and you'll recognize some of the actors from further down the road.

I like that it also follows two soldiers through the two seasons, not just the nobility.

I hope you like it!
