The Arts of "Rome" Historical Thread

AncientWorlds.net Web

See Rome and die? For discussion of set design, costumes, and other "Roman" qualities.

With over five acres dedicated to rebuilding Republican Rome at Rome's legendary Cinecitta Studios, perhaps at no time have such an army of artists, designers, builders, costumers, experts in Roman cosmetics, footware, and legionary costuming and armor, been assembled as for HBO's ROME. The first three episodes used almost 3,000 discrete costumes!

Further, Rome is not a solid white, but a Bombey-like swirl of color in homes, public buildings, and landscapes.

For discussion of the "arts" of Rome as revealed in the mini-series.
