Sorry to break it you but he sorta died a couple thousand years ago

A Greco-Egyptian eunuch of Ptolemy XIII was boasting of the betrayal and murder of Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, known Consul.
“Before the grain ships resume sailing, you must prostrate yourselves before the Ptolemy the Mighty Lion, He of the Two Ladies, He of Sedge and Bee, and admit he is the greatest leader in hostiry, even greater than Pompey Magnus!”
At this moment a brave, patriotic Roman general and statesman by the name of Gaius Julius Caesar stood:
“Shame on the House of Ptolemies for such barbarity, shame.”
The vile eunuch smirked quite orientally and smugly replied: “But you were enemies!”
“HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME! A Consul of Rome. To die in this sordid way, quartered like some low thief. Shame!”
The wretched woman was visibly shaken and dropped his tabulations of the money owed the Roman state by Ptolemy XII – some seventeen thousand thousand drachma. He stormed out of the palace crying those Egyptian crocodile tears, the same tears they cry for “Cleopatra”, whom they were unable to prevent allying with Caesar. There is no doubt that at this point our eunuch wished he had been born a Roman citizen and not a filthy mutilated barbarian.
The barbarians applauded and ceased their allegiance to the oriental despotism of the Ptolemies and became Roman clients that day. An eagle named “Senatus Populusque Romanus” flew into the room and shed a tear on the legionary standard. Commentarii de Bello Gallico was read several times, and Jupiter Optimus Maximus himself showed up and kicked the nose off Alexander’s mummified corpse.

They couldn’t figure out a way to make the show for a reasonable cost. The whole thing was effectively a test run for GoT. Bruno Heller didn’t give a fuck and parlayed the success into a mega-$$$ contract making schlock for Les Moonves

TRUE ROMAN BREAD FOR TRUE ROMANS!
Joseph Bennett
It was cancelled so GoT could be made
>the fourth season was going to take place in Judea where Timon the Jew has been hearing tales of a rebellious preacher claiming to be the messiah
Connor Ross
Fuck me I didn't even realized what this was until the eagle part

Defeat of vercingetorix, 52 BC. Last episode, Octavian's triumph is 30 BC. Jesus is famous 30 AD.

It was a very expensive, high-concept production and the HBO executives were still operating in the pre-binge television world where live viewership ratings were the only thing that mattered.
They thought it needed to be a ratings juggernaut to justify its cost through subscriptions, but they didn't realize that the real money would be through sales of DVD box sets months or years after the show aired. Once they realized their mistake, it was too late to restart production because all the actors and crew had moved on.

Game of Thrones killed it.
Wyatt Taylor
they cancelled it to start Game of Thrones and nobody would care about two sword-wielding politic-based shows
we all know how this turned out
Austin Allen
Rome died because BBC-2 pulled out their funding and it was too expensive for HBO to continue, not because of GoT
Josiah Gonzalez
Rome finished years before got, but it did pave the way for nudity, violence and profanity on tv.

And even GoT was plagued by its budget

He deserved so much better.

How was it so expensive. It literally had like 5 filming sets and almost all of the battles were offscene
Jonathan Howard
Indira is so beautiful
Adam Kelly
Season 1 is 9/10 kino
Season 2 is one of the worst tv shows I've ever seen in my life. Condensing 3 seasons into an already hyphenated season 2 probably does that.
Adrian White
GO BACK TO GAUL, GINGER KNOB!

This. Vorenus was a fundamentally good and just man
