Empire, the epic six-hour summer drama series, filmed entirely in Rome and South Central Italy, focuses on Julius Caesar's nephew, Octavius, who is forced into exile after Caesar's murder, and a fictional disgraced gladiator, Tyrannus, who has sworn to protect him.
This is a great mini-series, I'm really ejoying it.
Has anyone else seen it.

Yes I watched most of it! It started well but the last few episodes it ran out of Puff! The Final Battle Scene between Octavius and Marc Antony was a load of crap! (made up)! Also, I read the Producers ran out of cash as they used most of their budget in first 3 episodes The Real story is Octavius & Marc Antony(one of Caesar's trusted generals) ruled Rome & its territories together until they had a dispute. Marc Antony took off with his Personal legions(3) and fled to Egypt. That's where Cleoparta and Marc Antony came together and had their well known affair. Octavius wanted full control of Rome but he had to wipe out Marc Antony first. .. The Final Battle was fought in Egypt between Marc Antony & his 3 legions and Octavius Combined Legions of 8. The outcome can be read elsewhere! I found Empire to be more fictional than Fact!
