        Quite violent, I must say.

        Lots of characters already die in the first episode of season 2.

        Watch out for role reversal between Pullo and Vorenius.

            HOW can there be spoilers in an historical-based tv series
            I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                  Datajach Franit, does it bother you (as an italian) to see english actors with english accents playing ancient romans?

                    Au contraire, but I feel personally offended that we (Italians) need people with no historical background recreating the Roman times because we couldn't do that ourselves such a thing for saving our lives.

                      How terrible.


                      And with the dialogue not even being in Latin, Etruscan, Celto-Ligurian, Egyptian or Demotic Greek.

                      How very inauthentic....

                        Should I use spoiler tags or not? I will for now, I guess.

                        Spoiler:

                        So Pullo pulls Verenus back together, sort of, and they go on a bloody rampage only to discover that Verenus' kids are dead. So now he has no one, except Pullo, and nothing, except his ability to kill people. I expect he'll be doing a fair amount of that.

                        Antony out-manuevers Brutus and Cassius, thanks to the brain of the boy wonder (Octavian), honor of Brutus and the crappiness of Cassius' hit men.

                        Brutus & Cassius leave Rome to avoid the angry mob, stirred up by Antony's speech at Caesar's funeral.


                        As for the accents... meh, unless they're speaking Latin, does it really matter? And having them sound like Brits works just like it did in Star Wars They do Imperial well.

                          What does a North African speaking Latin sound like or a bloke form Gaul etc.

                          I can bet its nothing like Italian

                            Vorenus is so going on a rampage . And this this time Pullo may be trying to reign him in... what a turn of events .

                              No ****.

                              I just finished watching the first season. I was sure there is still a month to go until the second one.
