Did anyone see this movie based upon the life of Augustus? I heard it was historically uncorrect, that it was full of historical mistakes, see review IMDB.com.
Also it is good to know that after Hercules: the legendary journeys, they are planning to do a miniseries of Hercules starting after he has killed his family. It is from the same director of Imperium Augustus, but it does look promising for a miniseries which will air in 2005 according to imdb.com.

Salve Orce,

Yeah, and from what I can tell the title seems to be incorrect as well. Is it really called "Imperium Augustus" or was it "Imperium: Augustus"? If it is the former, it's wrong.

Vale,

It looked like I made a mistake. its Imperium: Augustus. here's a review with cast listing: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0340529/
Here's some info on the Hercules miniseries project coming out in 2005 that is now in pre-production: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0420408/
It does look like it will not resemble to the hit series Hercules: the legendary journeys. What did you guys think of that show that spawned Xena: warrior princess?
