    • Trivia
      The show's five acres of outdoor "period" sets were the largest standing set in the world to date.
    • Goofs
      In the series, Octavian's mother, Atia, is alive in 31 BC. She died in 43 BC.
    • Quotes

      Mark Antony: I really think you should reconsider.

      Gaius Julius Caesar: Anyone else, certainly. But those 2 - they found my golden standard and survived a storm that killed an army. Now they come face to face with Pompay Magnus. They have powerful Gods on their side. And I will never kill a man with such powerful friends.

    • Alternate versions
      Because episode three is 37 minutes long, it was hard for BBC2 to schedule in the UK, and it was also felt that the short running time would make the episode feel curiously light. The first three episodes were therefore edited down into episodes one and two for the UK. This was mostly achieved by trimming within existing scenes; few scenes were actually lost. The final two episodes of the first series were also edited into a single double-length episode, possibly because it was around the Christmas period and was easier to fit into the holiday schedule than two regular-length slots.

    Simply put, this is one of the most underrated shows of all time. The attention to detail is absolutely astounding. The story arcs are captivating. Although only two seasons long, Rome is like reading a gripping novel!
