剧情介绍
公元前52年，罗马共和国建立400年后，罗马已经成为世界上最富有的城市，是拥有100万人口的世界性大都市，也是雏形中的帝国的中心。罗马共和国是建立在分享权利和激烈的个人竞争的基础上的，从来不允许搞个人独裁。但这些共和国的原则基石正在腐败的弥漫和道德的沦丧下逐渐崩溃。统治阶级穷奢极欲、挥霍无度，传统的斯巴达人的戒律和团结已经荡然无存。
Picking up exactly where Season One left off on the Ides of March, 44 BC, Caesar has been assassinated, stabbed to death, and his bloody corpse lays in the senate. The rapidly spreading news shocks the city. Even consul Marc Antony must run to the safety of Atia's house where he swears to take bloody revenge on Caesar's murderers, but for the time flees with Caesar's family to the north. But Octavian keeps a cooler head then his mother. Calpurnia insists on the private reading of Caesar's will, which names Gaius Octavian as his adopted son and full heir and makes a gift to each citizen while freeing Posca (the slave who reads it out) with a stipend, but they must fear a rightful tyrannicide will be declared allowing full confiscation. Octavian points out legally declaring Caesar a tyrant would also invalidate all his deeds, including mandates held from him, so Brutus' followers have an interest in a full pardon instead. Hearing about Vorinus accidental killing of Niobe, Pullo rushes to his aid. Meanwhile, Cicero first congratulates Brutus's side, then pays his respects to surprise visitor Marc Antony who presses Octavian's legal logic means elections are necessary, claims Caesar's popular following and offers stability by a deal: Caesar is to be given a state funeral, the republic simply resumes and all terms of office continue. Despite Cicero's suggestion to kill Antony instead, Brutus accepts. Romans massively attend Caesar's funeral pyre; after the speeches, Brutus who was too cerebral is clearly out of popular favor, inspiring retort Marc Antony in. Elsewhere, Vorenus reclaims his children with Pullo, and kills Flavio and his master who admits having raped and killed them.
波罗和乌瑞那斯之前像是一直被神庇佑，之后又像是一直被诅咒，为了串起那些重大历史事件强行让两人carry也是够累的。前后三巨头的教训似乎印证了阿克顿的老话：权力让人腐败，绝对的权力让人绝对的腐败
这剧集最好看的地方是对罗马人日常生活和整个罗马古城的复原，历史和故事都在其次。罗马人坐的船走的路，他们用的玻璃酒杯上的公共厕所，西塞罗死时他的villa的庭院，奥古斯都沉思时他窗外的提伯何两岸全景。史实加故事新编不一定每个人都能接受，但艺术史细节上下的功夫让人太享受了
比第一季更精彩，更注重小人物的情感和命运！多么浩瀚的史诗
虽然屋大维的成人版不是很讨喜，总的来说，人性的表现更加丰富了。
不失水准，艺术加工的同时尊重历史。
很不错的片子
原则杀了乌瑞纳斯。冷血造就了屋大盖乌斯·屋大维·凯撒。
最大的问题是两条线穿插的没那么好了，兄弟那条线罗嗦了些。十三军团这个燃点被用得有点泛滥，我承认曾为此热泪盈眶。屋大维前季里逼人的灵气与聪明，但本季你可是要成为奥古斯都大帝的！帝王之气太弱了吧，就不够恺撒一半看。阿提娅争位那幕绝彩。安东尼之死好看。做一个帝王舍弃的要比所得的多得多。
感叹一下自己看太晚了。一部好的历史剧能让像我一样对历史/战争毫无兴趣的人去把主角们一个个维基。之前看斯巴达克斯/梅林也是这样。虽然没到很专研的程度但至少能了解不少知识。不过也会因此被剧透。我对里面角色的态度与第一季有很大改变。马克安东尼，屋大维实在喜欢死了。一个弱攻一个强受，啧啧
什么时候拍第三季?这是我追的第一部美剧
第二季太拖了
Kevin McKidd这人我还是超不喜欢 错其向
两个屋大维演员都不错的。
还行
一如既往。
