Re: HBOs Rome Anyone Watching?

I would like somebody with an understanding of this period to tell me how correct the costuming is, because it just looks kinda lame in parts.

I'm no historian, but Ancient Rome is a hobby of mine. The dress of the period is very well documented, and not too bad in this series, either - I like that yound Octavian had on the purple-bordered toga of a youth. Once he reaches majority, the purple border should go away until he becomes a senator, when he can again enjoy the purple stripe. If it looks lame, it's because Hollywood makes it look too Hollywood in other shows/movies.
