Medio siglo antes del nacimiento de Cristo, Roma se ha convertido en la ciudad más poderosa del mundo, una metrópolis cosmopolita con un millón de personas y epicentro de un Imperio en extensión. Fundada sobre los principios del poder compartido y la feroz competencia personal, la República fue creada para impedir a cualquier hombre conseguir un poder absoluto. Es una sociedad donde los soldados pueden ascender por encima de los plebeyos para convertirse en héroes y aún en líderes de la República. Pero cuando la clase dirigente se hizo extravagante y rica, las instituciones se desmoronaron desgastadas por la corrupción y el exceso, y los viejos valores de disciplina espartana y unidad social cedieron ante un gran abismo entre clases.
An in-depth look at the historical accuracy of the series and its portrayal of Rome's religious practices, women, brutality, slaves, citizenry, culture, and political turmoil.
A clip-heavy EPK that introduces and examines the many characters of Rome. It's heavy on plot synopsis and base analysis, but makes succinct work of the first season's themes, heroes, soldiers, women, and storylines.
Entire documentaries aren't usually devoted to a single scene, but when it involves as much spectacle and psychological nuance as Caesar's turning point, it certainly deserves it. Key members of the cast and crew offer their thoughts on director Alan Taylor's contributions, the tone of the sequence, the framing of several shots, and the planning that went into making it the successful scene it is.
Another thorough "Shot × Shot" documentary focuses on a tricky gladiator battle, the weapons and armor crafted for the sequence, the composition of its shots, the scope of the sets, and the production team's practical and CG effects.
753 BC, the date historians traditionally assign to the founding of Rome, is at the heart of this historical documentary. Stamp discusses the origin of the city's rivalries, the dangers faced by its citizenry, the empire's revolving-door of power, early clashes between the Jews and the Romans, and the vulgarity, brutality, and graffiti that filled the streets.
A short but satisfying look at history's so-called greatest love story, the series' approach to Antony and Cleopatra's relationship, and the manner in which the creators worked to pay respect to the historical figures.
