for a good take on the roman empire watch the excellent bbc produce miniseries i and claudius . this just suck . the acting be pathetic and you could almost see the actor look at the camera . han matheson be irritate . cheese factor be so high that it promote constipation with repeated viewing . even caligula be tame . i think this film be silently support by religious group who shall remain nameless while ) . the overt tone of christian favoritism and persecution be blatant if that give any hint . stay away what ever you do the running time be so long that i be able to read harry potter first book faster than the time it take to view this tripe . italy have do well do not let han cute face fool you . he be not a great actor . he be a great bore .
