What should I expect in season 2 of the TV series Rome on HBO?
Season two begins in a frantic rush for position and power by political and personal factions triggered by Gaius Julius Caesar’s assassination in 44 BC. Caesar’s bodyguard, Lucius Vorenus descends into near-madness over his failure to protect his charge, but Titus Pullo soon returns to Rome to help him put his shattered life back together. Mark Antony aligns himself with Atia and her son Gaius Octavian, appointed in Caesar’s will as his son and heir, while Cleopatra arrives to pay respect to her fallen lover and win legitimacy for the son she claims Caesar fathered. Brutus and his mother Servilia ponder how to curry favour with the pro-Caesar masses.
