Today, we’ll be discussing the historical drama, Rome! This period drama, which begins in the year 1 BC, follows the lives of two Roman soldiers whose personal lives are deeply interwoven in key historical events during Rome’s transition from a republic to an empire. Although the series touches on and, in some cases, dives deeply into true historical events, the series’ mostly peripheral view of them allows the audience to see how the rise of this empire affected those outside of the ruling class. So how did the most ancient show in our Historical Dramas season manage to engage so many people? And how is Rome holding up over 13 years after its finale? So what made the series so hard to turn away from? Stay tuned!
