Rome 

is a historical drama television series created by John Milius, William J. MacDonald,


and Bruno Heller. The show, consisting of two seasons for a total of 22 episodes, aired on HBO,
and BBC Two from 28 August 2005 to 25 March 2007, and was later released on DVD and Blu-ray.
An international co-production between Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States, the series
was filmed in various locations, but most notably in the Cinecittà studios in Rome, Italy.
The series is set in the 1st century BC, during Ancient Rome's transition from Republic to Empire.
The series features a sprawling cast of characters, many based on real figures from historical
records, but the lead protagonists are ultimately two soldiers named Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo,
who find their lives intertwined with key historical events.
Rome received largely positive reviews and had a high number of viewers. It received substantial
media attention from the start, becoming a ratings success for HBO and the BBC (although the
numbers declined considerably in the second season) and being honoured with numerous awards,
including four Emmy Awards, seven Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Visual Effects Society Award.
The series ran for two seasons out of the planned five due to high production cost; much of the
material for the third and fourth seasons was telescoped into the second one.[1]
