    As much as I loved this show, I was sometimes shell-shocked by all the rape. I actually got in an argument with my husband when he told me he joined a fb group called "I live my life like Titus Pullo" and he thought it was so clever. I was like "he rapes women constantly!" and he was like "but they don't call it rape on the show" and I was like "but that's what rape is!" and then he sulked.

    @Kivrin: I have indeed--it's my mom's favorite show of all time. I stand by my assertion that in Rome, at that point, Livia was a mere wannabe. She learned at the feet of a master (mistress?), though.

    (Random piece of semi-related HBO trivia: Livia Soprano is named after Livia Drusilla, for precisely those qualities.)

    @la.donna.pietra: Yeah, on Rome, Livia was still in training. I actually wish that HBO would just remake I, Claudius instead of doing a Rome movie; seems like a natural progression…

    And I knew about the Soprano thing, too. I'm always interested in crazy on-screen mothers, as my own mother is a cross between Joan Crawford and Livia Soprano. Pity me. :-P

    @Kivrin: Oh, what I wouldn't give for a Claudius that had sets that weren't made out of cardboard.

    My mom, bless her heart, is a Classics nut who dragged me off to the old Getty museum at at a young age and instilled in me a deep appreciation for chipped marble statues and backstabbing imperial intrigue. She bears zero resemblance to any HBO maternal characters, and for that I am very grateful.

    @la.donna.pietra: I'm a bit of a dilettante myself, but I adore hardcore Classics nuts. I so wish I'd been in high school when Rome came out, because I just know my h.s. Latin teacher must have been out-of-control excited. (My younger sister was in h.s. Latin when Gladiator came out, and apparently the teacher was just giddy about it.)
