The use of archaic Latin, the way the story arc comes around full circle in 10 episodes, it's all really well done. They even went out of their way to include the naming of actual and mythological early Latin and Etruscan cities and regions like Gabii and Veii, and they kept the story within the context of Romulus & Remus' foundation legend. I admit it started out a bit slow but really picks up quickly, and things come together in an unexpected way. I am not sure what show people were watching to give this a 6.7 rating. I was ambivalent to watch this due to the rating, but I am glad I listened to the positive reviews and gave this a shot. Romulus is certainly better than something like "Vikings" which is rated much better. For any history-lover Romulus is a must-watch.
