That kind of confused me because I remember in school we learned that Julia was only banished for 5 years and then her father brought her back to Rome. He punished her by making her live under tight constrictions and then when her Father died and her x-husband came to power he REALLY punished her by starving her to death. All this for having a little fun with guys because her dad forced her into all her marriages. Pretty bleak, but here they say that she was banished for life and Octavian never saw her again. huh?

Uh your weirdness may be true but at least it's information. I could not care less about
political crap. If you have a recommendation let's hear it! Post "My version of history"
Let's see if any one is correct. If you're watching this it is because you want to understand the past. If you have a better alternative present it or stop commenting about how lame Western history is.
At the very least you could try to understand where we are coming from and help bring understanding. Or, Point out the mistakes and tell us who is right. Since you were not there and this is a dry version of actual record. Let's hear the truth according to you.

Some might say that this 54 min and 26 second piece does not have enough information. It is only an hour, plus I don't think that such programs are meant to be a complete education of any period in history. They are meant to spark interest. So if you don't think it has enough it might make you want to go to the library and learn more for yourself. If you find it interesting and just want to know more, again you find yourself at the library. I think that is the primary goal, getting us to look into history more closely. Some of us need a bit of visual stimuli to get us interested. Dramatic music and some art is helpful some too.
All in all I enjoyed it.

Unfortunately this is "Roman History Lite". It follows the standard low-budget documentary style of voice overs reading quotes, dramatic music and shots of artwork & landscapes. It's not for anyone wanting in-depth information. As an intro to a small piece of Ancient Roman history, its OK, but doesn't grab the viewer's attention. I'm really hoping the rest of the episodes cover their subjects in more detail, but if not, I won't continue to watch - I'll go to the library!

I always laugh at Western rewriting of history. Crassus an ally of Caesar and Anthony was decimated by Sassanian Empire of Persia which rome never managed to conquer. But I guess only victories are to be written into the history. But then again the bigger the bullcrap the more believable it may seem. History has become propaganda, or perhaps it always was.
