‘Rome’: Welcome to hell
In this week’s episode of “Rome,” Niobe shows off her new dress, Vorenus bribes and blackmails an old friend, and Caesar and Brutus meet for a round of checkers.
What I’m trying to say is that this episode is one of the finest hours of television ever made, one that sealed my devotion to the HBO series and its makers for all time.

‘Rome’: ‘This is where we die.’

‘Rome’: Love between strangers
Pillow talk alters the course of an empire.
Just another gripping, unexpected hour from television’s greatest historical drama.
‘Rome’: Junior’s first murder
