FX. Damn.

Yeah... there's very little 'historic fact' about anything that predates about 300 years ago. The rest is just brief and unconfirmed records or writings. The bible is a great example. Most of it was compiled, edited and even written hundreds of years after 'said' events took place. Even records from the middle ages are scarce and questionable.

Either way, it was a good show.

I was studying Ancient Roman history at the time I was watching the series. I never finished it, but I liked the episodes I saw. (I think I saw the whole first season, or something...)

It was the little things they included that were what made it "historically accurate" to me. They went to great lengths to include little set-pieces and dialogue interjections that really would have been legitimate, if not as close to what current archaeological and art historical evidence defends.
