YES! Rome is one of my favorite shows of all time. It is so unfortunate it didn't run the whole 5 seasons like it was supposed to but it was cut to only 2 seasons because of budget problems.
It should be noted though, that it didn't just get canceled. The writers knew in advance that season 2 would be the last and as such the story just advances much more quickly and skips ahead in time about 5-10 years.
One of the best shows of all time. Not perfectly accurate in its history but one of the best representations of ancient Roman life ever made.
If it helps your decision my favorite dramas of all time are: (in no particular order)
Sopranos
Six Feet Under
Rome
Dexter
BoB
If they live up to their billing Spartacus and Pacific will probably make it onto the list. I plan on watching both in the summer when they are over and I can watch them all in a row.
