I am only in the 10th minute of the 1st episode about Julius Cesar and already so many historical inaccuracies. Roman roads were build not by slaves but by soldiers. Few gladiators were war slaves, more often men sold themselves to become gladiators in hope to pay their debts. Besides many gladiators of Cesar's time were celebrities and adored by audience. Cesar weren't just soldier when he started his military career, he was military tribune according his and his family social status, he was a patrician after all. And Cesar entered army after he was freed of position of Flamen Dialis, a religious office in Rome. Freed by Sulla, one of two waring generals of the civil war mentioned in the first minutes of the series. By the way, Cesar was appointed to the position by his uncle Gaius Marius, Sulla's opponent and enemy. And that tells the Rome was much more complicated and complex structure than Netflix think. Ok, let's go to the 11th minute.
