The year is 44 B.C. Julius Caesar has been assassinated and civil war threatens to destroy the Republic. In the void left by Caesar's demise, egos clash and numerous players jockey for position. The brutally ambitious Mark Antony attempts to solidify his power, aligning himself with Atia, but coming to blows with her cunning son Octavian, who has been anointed in Caesar's will as his only son and heir. Meanwhile Titus Pullo attempts to pull his friend Lucius Vorenus out of the darkness that has engulfed his soul in the wake of personal tragedy. For once again, the fates of these two mismatched soldiers seem inexorably tied to the fate of Rome itself.

 Exceeds all expectations!Reviewed by Unknown from Johannesburg on 11 January 2008

Amazing! Season 2 of HBO's smash hit tv series, Rome, meets and suceeds my expectations. It sticks to that shocking, yet enthralling reality of life in Rome that we all loved in season 1. It has a gripping story that will alaways leave you wanting more. A must see!

as expected from HBOReviewed by R.S. from KZN on 10 November 2007

In the same vein as Band of Brothers, the story of Rome continues with an unrelenting pace. The characters developed for the series are thoroughly believable and in this second series (in reality filming was continuous between the two seasons). Without any delay we are taken straight back into that engrossing world.

 Rome Season 2Reviewed by Weskussnoek on 06 August 2007
56 of 120 people found the following review helpful:
Unlike another certain celebrated HBO series, Rome's end will satisfy those swept up in its lavishly mounted spectacle and invested in the human dramas of the historical figures and fictional characters. Season 2 begins in the wake of Julius Caesar's assassination, and charts the power struggle to fill his sandals between "vulgar beast" Mark Antony (James Purefoy) and "clever boy" Octavian (Simon Woods), who is surprisingly named Caesar's sole heir. The series' most compelling relationship is between fellow soldiers and unlikely friends, the honorable Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd) and Titus "Violence is the only trade I know" Pullo (Ray Stevenson), who somewhat reverse roles when Vorenus is overcome with grief in the wake of his wife's suicide. Season 2 considerably ups the ante in the rivalry between Atia (an Emmy-worthy Polly Walker), who is Antony's mistress, and Servilia (Lindsay Duncan) with attempted poisonings and sickening torture. Another gripping subplot is Vorenus's estrangement from his children, who, at the climax of the season opener are presumed slaughtered, but whose true fate may be even more devastating to the father who cursed them.
