HBO’s Rome Ending Was Originally Very Different


“An 88-year-old Pullo going down to the riverside by Vorenus’ tomb, or sarcophagus, pouring wine on it, taking a sword out while sitting there on the banks, looking at the glistening river, and committing suicide.

“And as he has his face hit the sand on the banks, a fish jumped out of the water, and the silver light on the fish caught the sword, which brought us right into that first battle with Lucius Vorenus and [Titus Pullo] where he breaks ranks.” - Ray Stevenson

And 5 seasons were planned, with Pullo in Galilee. Such a shame it lasted only 2 seasons!

Thank you for this.

Such a shame. Two seasons was not enough, and now Stevenson is Resting in Peace.

Yes, such a shame. But at least we have enjoyed two wonderful seasons.
