The intrigues and dirty conspiracy, treachery, debauchery, passion inhuman and endless succession of murders. The dances of Bacchus and Venus in the palace jaded with its power of the empire ... American cinema offers us the story of an ancient civilization in the format of the blockbuster, one of the most spectacular TV shows of recent years - "Rome".

This is a joint project of the BBC and the TV company HBO. According to on IMDb: «Focusing on quality and to immerse themselves in the history, HBO and BBC demonstrate how TV can be ".Deystvie starts at 50s BC when Gaius Julius Caesar wins and going Galiyu return to Rome, but there he was, of course, no one expects. Behind him, a faithful warriors around enemies, friends and strive to deliver. The well-known story.

"Rome" like the viewer (even if that a long time ago contemptuously excluded from your vocabulary the word "serial") in two cases. First - if the audience the history of Rome represented action-fighter with a touch more than blatant love drama. Second - if he deliberately ignore the big word "historical" in advertising and announcement of the series, indulgently understand that the history of Rome, Americans prefer to learn from their own before make a film, and just enjoy the picture as works of cinema and product uncommon fantasy authors.

"The screen is very difficult to transfer all the riot of colors and passions that raged in Rome, - says the executive director of the author Ideas Bruno Heller, and his words give an accurate idea of ​​reigning in the film atmosphere - Usually, when talking about Rome, the city are white marble, but Rome was more like Mexico City or Calcutta.
