Roman Empire


This Netflix documentary is narrated by Sean Bean who does an excellent job, and the acting is excellent. It seems to be relatively accurate, but some things are exaggerated for effect. Commodus didn’t usually kill gladiators in the arena, but he killed many while practising. The actors swear during stressful moments, which is something I have never seen in similar productions, but which does give it a sense of realism.  Informative, but a bit of a waste of time.
