Rome VI

Once again they left crap out. Before Caesar followed Pompey to Greece, he first went to Spain to defeat the Pompeians there. Octavius actually joined Caesar in Spain to get some military seasoning. That only took 40 days. On his way back to Rome he captured Massilia (Marseilles). It wasn't until he returned from that campaign that he was named dictator for a few days until he could arrange his election as consul. Then, he took off after Pompey. He left Antony in Rome as his Master of the Horse, which essentially gave Antony the power to rule Rome in Caesar's absence.

They got the storm wrong also. Caesar crossed the Adriatic with 20,000 men, one third of his army. This alone took balls because it was winter and no one crossed the Adriatic in winter. Also, Pompey controlled the seas. On the way back to get the rest, the ships got caught in a storm and were wrecked.

Caesar, wondering where the rest of his army was, set off in a small skiff to cross back to Italy. The sailors gave up, as the weather was too bad. Soon, Mark Antony secured another fleet and crossed with the rest of his army. Had Pompey not lost his military prowess, he could have knocked off Caesar then. He also didn't follow up a victory later in the campaign.

To me, some of this stuff would have been interesting, but they have decided to turn this series into a soap opera. We got to see Atia's tatas again. We also got to see some boobage when Pullo took Octavius to the brothel to get laid on Atia's orders. Why couldn't I have had a mother like that? For the ladies there was a shot of Antony's ass. What about the size of the penis on the slave that Atia gave Servilia? Whoo boy!
