A series about the first triumvirate of Caesar, Crassus and Pompey and their respective campaigns and internal machinations would have been something else.
Pompey's beheading at the hands of the Egyptians and then the subsequent head being brought to Caesar, would be fine television.
Man between the Napoleon movie, the Hannibal announcement, the alleged Cleapatra movie, Gladiator 2 and a new Spartacus - I'm drooling. More historical epics please!!
