Winner of several Emmys? and
nominated for numerous BAFTA? and Golden Globes?, the
historic collaboration between the BBC and HBO returns for a second
season. Experience Rome in 52 BC, a cosmopolitan metropolis of millions
defined by extraordinary wealth, violent cruelty, untold filth, dog-eat-dog
competition and massive poverty. Wives are coveted, power corrupts and
murderers go free in the magnificent series ?as extravagant, enticing and
chaotic as Rome itself ? (USA Today). In the void left by Julius Caesar?s
assassination, egos clash and numerous players jockey for position. The
brutally ambitious Mark Antony (James Purefoy, A Dance to the Music of
Time, Vanity Fair) attempts to solidify his power, aligning himself with Atia
(Polly Walker, Enchanted April, Waking the Dead) but coming to blows with
her cunning son Octavian, who has been anointed in Caesar?s will as his
only son and heir. And once again, the fates of fellow soldiers and unlikely
friends Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus seem inexorably tied to the fate of
the empire. ?Brilliant??Variety. Recommended for mature viewers.
