This was an excellent series that was watched on a 12 hour night shift in one go! Unfortunately it was so enthralling that work was missed! Thankfully it was a slow night. The stories were very good and a lot of the scenes realistic in that they were as I would have imagined the streets and houses would be. Yes there were a lot of nudity but it was kept within the context of the stories which helped the story along as well as the violence and blood that was seen. The story follows a roman soldier and his family through his career in the army and his oath that he takes to protect the Emperor. This leads him through Europe during the campaigns of Caesar and Caesar's the ultimate downfall. After watching the first series I couldn't wait for the second series to start. The accompanied music helped the story lines to move along well. In all an excellent series that I would recommend everyone to watch at least one episode.
