HBO Rome characters on a battlefield

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Roman historian Michael Taylor rates the historical accuracy in HBO's Rome. The award-winning and critically acclaimed series starring Ray Stevenson and Ciarán Hinds ran for two seasons before it was cancelled. The historical drama takes place during the last days of the Roman Republic and into the transition to the Roman Empire.

We do know that Caesar's army, like the army in Spartacus, usually fights in three lines, and one reason for doing that is, if the people in the front line become exhausted, you can bring up cohorts from the rear ranks to replace them. Now that being said, we do not have any kind of evidence of any extremely coordinated system of rotating men within an individual century or cohort. That's something they've kind of made up.

This Breakdown Proves That Rome Was Cancelled Too Soon The Show Stands Out As An Impressive Historical Drama Close While it is historical fiction, Rome is more historically accurate than many other stories in the genre. Taylor's breakdown proves that the series pays excellent attention to accurate historical details, including the soldiers' period-accurate armor.
