Rent Rome: Season 1 (BLU-RAY) (2005)


The year is 52 B.C. Four hundred years after the founding of the Republic, Rome is the wealthiest city in the world, a cosmopolitan metropolis of one million people, epicentre of a sprawling empire. The Republic was founded on principles of shared power and fierce personal competition, never allowing one man to seize absolute control. But now, those foundations are crumbling, eaten away by corruption and excess. After eight years of war, two soldiers, Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo unwittingly become entwined in the historical events of ancient Rome. A serialized drama of love and betrayal, masters and slaves, husbands and wives, Rome chronicles a turbulent era that saw the death of a republic and the birth of an empire.

Rome: Season 1 review by MATYVE

great series

This is a fantastic new series; we thoroughly enjoyed the adaptation of Roman history into a reasonably accurate TV drama. Unfortunately the accents of some of the actors take away from the authenticity of the production.
