Cassius and Brutus were said to have committed suicide. In the series, they are killed by sword at the hands of Octavian and Antony's infantry.

Since Octavian's reign was so long, I'm curious to see how they will treat this historical fact.

The series will end this year. Otherwise it is retread of I Claudius -now that was a briliant series! And also more accurate although of course, Suetonius (the Roman biographer upon whom Robert Graves based much of his material) took liberties since he was a gossip hound.

The roles of Cassius and Brutus are badly written and badly acted. The acting in Julius Caesar (with Marlon Brando, James Mason and John Giulgud among others) is far better. James Mason was a great Brutus.
