Rome 'Season One'

WHAT'S IT ABOUT? HBO and BBC-collaborative epic about the fall of the Republic and the birth of Roman Empire. Swords, sandals and lots of sex. All in a wooden box too!

ANY GOOD? Enough plots to get Tarantino's Y-fronts in a twist. Brilliantly acted and super mammoth TV viewing. In fact, it's one of the most ambitious shows on the box ever.

FOR ADDED EFFECT: Watch while hired maidens in robes hand-feed you grapes and massage out the yuk in between your toes.

FREEBIES: We've got 5 of these great 6-disc DVD boxsets to give away! Just email your details to webmaster.maxim@dennis.co.uk and we'll enter you into our giveaway draw. Closing date: 8 August 2006.
