"You will be in Seeing one of the most detailed and colorful ancient Rome on screen," said co-producer, executive director and screenwriter Bruno Heller, "it's as bustling and vibrant as Mexico City and Calcutta, rather than a white marble. A false exterior, Rome is both brightly colored and a very cold one, full of energy, dynamics, but also chaos, depravity. People kill each other without mercy, a handful of elites aloft, and a large number of Crowds live in abject poverty. We have the same problems in our society today: crime, unemployment, disease and the pressure to maintain social status. If you're smart, there's the potential to climb up."

"Humanity will never change.

Their behavior is completely limited by personal moral standards, and the right or wrong of their behavior is completely judged by your power and social status. You can even kill your neighbors and rob your wife at will. Son, as long as you stand above them. Kindness is mocked, cruelty becomes virtue, personal glory, loyalty to family and oneself becomes the greatest pursuit."
