Historic "accuracy"?

A word about it? The series puts effect over information anyway, but there seem to be some major flaws in it. I'm not a historian, but a great fan of the "Masters of Rome" series by Colleen McCullough (that has a reputation for thorough research). The "Caesar" episode claims that Caesar wanted to be in office "without election" like a king and was a proto-Emperor anyway, while CMC explains that he wanted to stand for election "in absentia", so that he would not have to enter the city and lose his official power over his troops. Maybe the film script didn't leave time to really explain something about roman politics? Also, that later he "made himself" dictator for life, while in CMCs view it was one of the many "unwanted" honors awarded him by a cajoling senate. I guess it depends on what sources you believe in, but this series seems to interpret history in an artistic fashion - the most interesting rumors must be true ;-) - while it lacks real background information (or maybe even real information). Also take a look at the series "Terry Jones's Barbarians" for the other truth about the Sacking of Rome, and as an antidote to Empire fever. An Amazon customer put it right: "Rome For Dummies".—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.189.174.62 (talk) 05:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I need answers

A while back, I made some major edits throughout this topic. The synopsis of each episode was thin and did not explain fully what was actually shown on TV. For that reason I patched things up with more relevant detail and I personally think it was a good idea to do so. But someone has reverted all my efforts and edits to improve this article's quality. I want to know why. You cannot claim that I had put too much detail, the plot outlines were still a paragraph long for each episode I worked on. Can someone please answer this question?

History Channel's Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire

There is also a History channel series of the same name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JanderVK (talk • contribs) 04:24, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Italics

I'm removing the completely overboard use of Italics in this article, as is consistent with Wikipedia policy. Master z0b (talk) 00:38, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Constantine’s asteroid

The asteroid that Constantine saw was far to big and it hit the ground and causes a shock wave no less if that hade happened in 312 we’d know about it, have you ever seen the Meteor Crater in Arizona there would be something like the right in the Middle of Italy to day If somthing as big as that hade hit.
