what a great cast, and thrilling story line. i claudius ranks right
up there with six wives of henry the viii, and elizabeth r. fascina-
ting historical thriller. amazon.com has great pricing and fast
shipping. to borrow a james bond title, a view to "many" kills.

Still the finest mini-series I've ever seen
Added 10/5/2009
It's a small-scale epic, and a family saga (which the small scale helps bring front and center,) and the most successful black-humor I have ever seen this side of Stanley Kubrick's wide screen. Mordantly funny and painful at the same time. The Lion in Winter can't hold a candle to it, even though that's a wonderful movie. Brilliant acting and the most terrible grandmother in the history of film, bar none. The remastering is great and everything looks much better than could ever have come across on the airwaves when it was first made. Sex and cruelty and history meet real intelligence: everybody wins.

Roman History - another view
Added 9/29/2009
Greetings:
I first saw a poor copy of this in Germany. When I returned to the States, I bought the Region 1 version and have not been disappointed. Great story. And fairly close to history while showing the Roman Rulers for what they were. If you never bought another DVD on Rome, make it this one. WELL worth the money.

Comparing

It would have been great to have subtitles. Other than that the remastering is 100% improvement than the originals. On the other hand, Amazon could credit the price difference this month from last ($10 difference)for those of us who bought it earlier.
