As I evidently have missed on two different awesome things:
'Rome' by hbo and BBC. Quality program. It was an entertaining show and the broad strokes of history and the details of Roman life (which struck me as a lot weirder and more pagan than you might expect) were done with a lot of care and accuracy. The starting scene was a battle between Romans and Gauls and has some of the most accurate depictions of Roman warfare ever done I reckon. Plus there's tons of sex.
how pagan would you expect pre Christian Rome to be?
The song is “Hold The Line” by Toto
