Is anyone on here watching the rerun of Rome on Discovery at all?

In the sixth episode of the first series, there is a scene where Cleopatra is smoking a pipe. Cleopatra’s personal slave speaking to and of Cleopatra, says…

“Divinities mortal flesh turns green”

And

“She will look like a reptile when she arrives in Alexandria”

It's a great couple of series, hope there will be more. Does ask the question though, Ceaser - People's friend or tyrant. Hard one to answer in that series.

Call me 'old fashioned' but I think I would have prefured Ceaser to the raving lunatic Caligula.

Do you have any thoughts on the two lines mentioned :)

Great series. Loved the take on how the rumours that J. Caesar was gay started. V. clever. The reptile reference is possibly to throw people off the scent. Nice spot Hypermusic , well spotted indeed.
