The "Tudors" thread got me thinking about other ludicrously ahistorical shows which somehow made history come alive for me.
Anyone else see this? As absurd and melodramatic as it was, it really did, at times, capture the dizzying grandiosity and grime, and crime that was Ancient Rome far more than more praised, staid, respectable shows did.
Plus it was funny and had lots of boobs
