So and so of the Julii

Did I mention that Rome (the original HBO TV series) is just absolutely brilliant?

Those of you who have not been following it, for serious, go get yourselves copies of the 12-ep masterpiece.

A word of caution, though. Loads of bloody gore. Loads of porn-like scenes.

Anywho, though now I'm done with the whole thing, I can't help but be still puzzled with one thing:

How come most epic motion pictures, in this case one that's supposed to depict olden Romans, feature main actors with a British slang?
