Rome is impressive
Rome was a very prestigious project of HBO which has made a place in the classics ever produced on the TV. It’s a series which could be watched after many years and is still found relevant as the power struggle that forever. There are no friends and no enemies in the politics, and power hungry politicians don’t shy from stabbing their friends in back if it suits their purpose.
‘Rome’ contains both of the flavors history as well as Politics. So I think this is the best choice for the people who love reading history.
I do like history and reading about other countries, but I hardly get enough time. So this TV show was the best source to satisfy my hunger for the historical drama. What we watch has greater impact than what we read. I got to know many interesting things about Rome from this series. The first season includes the transformation of Roman republic society into the Roman Empire, as the rulers became very wealthy that they used their power to tip the balance of power in their favor turning republic into dictatorship. The political developments and cunning policies were depicted in a fine way in this season. I don’t know why the show didn’t go for the third season.
Whatever I had read about the Rome in the books became more clear and visible to me after watching this show. Now I can write in the better way about Rome than before. Secondly, in books I had read about just the events, but by watching the show you get a glimpse in to their life style, routine and culture. The show concentrated on every detail to make ancient Rome come alive in our living rooms.
