This show is absolutely outrageous. The genre is supposed to be a documentary and people who watch it will believe that they see an accurate representation of the classical period. Deverging from history is usually fine, you can't make it perfect, but this show creates conflicts or alliances between characters where there was nothing like that. They even cite fake Roman laws! It's not just a misinterpretation, it's straight fiction! Selling this as legitimate history is absolutely despicable.
