HBO's ROME Series: D&D campaign possible?

[Claudius Gaius]

A lot depends on how much actual magic you want. Do you want historical realism? d20 might not be the best choice for that.

We just finished watching season 2 of HBO's ROME. Outstanding. Best show I've ever watched.

I adore Rome, but you only say this because you haven't seen The Wire.

I agree with those who have said that you can't really do a great Roman campaign unless your players have a sense of the society, religion, and attitude of Roman people. Fortunately, it's not hard to get that across to them.
