I do not have HBO and so I was lent series one of Rome by a great friend of mine at work. I am so glad that he did that favor for me because I had to admit that series one of Rome was one of the greatest television period pieces I had ever seen. The directors, writers, actors and all of the other individuals that had come together for this HBO show should be greatly commended for all of the hard work on this project. I do enjoy period pieces and this was one of the greatest period pieces of Rome that I had ever seen and it was only season one. If you are a stranger to it, rent it and give it a go. If you love period pieces, I strongly recommend that you check it out. I could almost guarantee that you would add it to your collection of DVD's. I simply loved it!!!
