    remarkable
    A profound useful didactic tool. This is the basic virtue of this series , proposing a new, fresh perspective about ancient Rome. The second good point - the viewer becomes, episode by episode part of project. The serie do not gives answers but premises of them. It do not propose verdicts but the basic pieces for own conclusion. And, no doubts, it does that in well , inspired and precise way. So, just remarkable.
