In addition to being the most chosen on the platform, its quality led George RR Martin to trust HBO to make the adaptation.
This is the series Rome, an American production from 2005 that sought to explain in a more realistic way what life was like for the inhabitants of the Roman empire in the heyday of this civilization. It has 2 seasons and a total of 22 chapters, available on MAX.
At the time the series came out, it was a very ambitious and advanced bet that did not have the expected repercussions. Nevertheless, George RR Martin decided to trust HBO to adapt his saga “Game of Thrones” for the screen after seeing what they had achieved with this production.

What Rome is about, Max’s exclusive series
Rome is set in a turbulent historical period. The conquest of the territory has advanced so much that now The empire has problems maintaining unity and control. Gaius Julius Caesar is one of the most brilliant men, although his political astuteness and his skill as a military strategist generate some suspicion among the Roman aristocracy. Many believe that he longs to sit on the throne and reign as sovereign, so a group decides to conspire to assassinate him. The story is told through the eyes of two Roman soldiers, Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pollo.
On the Ides of March, Julius Caesar goes to the Senate despite warnings that a plot was being hatched against him. It was then that Brutus and his cronies took out the daggers hidden in their togas and stabbed him dozens of times until the dictator breathed his last. But in addition to the violence, there is room for the personal stories of the time, including romance, betrayal and thirst for power.
