stunning recreations of the ancient city. This release contains the first two
seasons of the show.
SEASON 1
Four hundred years after the founding of the Republic Rome is the wealthiest
city in the world a cosmopolitan metropolis of one million people; epicenter of
a sprawling empire. The Republic was founded on principles of shared power and
fierce personal competition never allowing one man to seize absolute control.
But now those foundations are crumbling eaten away by corruption and excess.
After eight years of war two soldiers Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo unwittingly
become entwined in the historical events of ancient Rome. A serialized drama of
love and betrayal masters and slaves husbands and wives ROME chronicles a
turbulent era that saw the death of the republic and the birth of an empire.
SEASON 2
The year is 44 B.C. Julius Caesar has been assassinated and civil war
threatens to destroy the Republic. In the void left by Caesar's demise egos
clash and numerous players jockey for position. The brutally ambitious Mark
Antony attempts to solidify his power aligning himself with Atia but coming to
blows with her cunning son Octavian who has been anointed in Caesar's will as
his only son and heir. Meanwhile Titus Pullo attempts to pull his friend Lucius
Vorenus out of the darkness that has engulfed his soul in the wake of personal
