Glossing over hundreds of years of istory and showing random portraits of the wrong people is doing a great disservice to your audience. We watched episode one (Rome) and my biggest complaint is the portraits shown were rarely the person being discussed at the time. Mispronunciations were rampant i.e. Pompey (Pom-pee) was pronounced "Pom-pay" like the town. Important facts were omitted such as Marc Antony was married to Octavian's sister, the perfect excuse for attacking the bigimistic couple as an affront to Roman virtue. Not to mention the fact that Antony was giving away Roman provinces to his bastard children as birthday presents. I could go on but you get the idea.
