How accurate was the HBO tv show Rome?

by heisenberger

I have seen the HBO tv show Rome several times and it largely seems to mesh with what little i know about roman society at the time. How accurate was the tv show's portrayal of the city and the culture of rome at the time? I am not asking about specific individuals but in general.

Interestingly enough, the thread which was the first thread I had ever read on this subreddit answered this question! I bookmarked it. Here:
