Caesar is in.... Winnipeg?
Welcome to the club and commiserations.
Thanks @mingc! And I agree. I rewatched the series a couple of months ago. It's not I Claudius, but in it's own tongue-in-cheek sort of way with regard to Roman history, it's great television. Apparently there was a meme going around a couple of months ago (at the same time as I happened to be re-watching HBO's Rome) that men are all obsessed with the Roman Empire. I Googled "men and roman history" and there are countless articles from September of this year about how men think constantly about Rome. Is this true? Or is it some contrived left-wing conspiracy theory? I don't use social media, but my wife mentioned it to me. Maybe I'll start a thread on it.Welcome to the club and commiserations.
Rome, HBO's first big budget mini-series. Great, great show!

FWIW I actually took 5 months off from posting anything...Which is to say...I'll not have you casting aspersions on my inanity! I can be as inane as the next guy! Just look at this thread!I was going to say congratulations until I saw it took you over a year to reach 1000 posts. This can only mean one thing...you're not making nearly enough inane comments, which makes the rest of us look bad.
