As a history enthusiast with a particular fascination for ancient Rome, I find the creation of “Those About to Die” on Prime Video to be an intriguing endeavor. The cast and crew’s acknowledgment of the challenges in accurately portraying historical events is not only refreshing but also adds depth to my appreciation for the series.
The actors involved in “Those About to Die,” a 10-part production on Prime Video that unfolds in ancient Rome, have been discussing the historical authenticity of the show. (Or: The “Those About to Die” cast, from Prime Video’s 10-part series set in ancient Rome, have been sharing their thoughts on the show’s historical accuracy.)
He added that it’s challenging to obtain an accurate account of that time due to the late creation and biased nature of most available sources.
“Emperors have a history of using propaganda to manipulate the truth, making it difficult for us to fully understand the realities,” he explained.
Johannes Haukur Johansson further explored the fact that Daniel Mannix’s non-fiction work relied on a rich tapestry of “historical facts” to serve as a foundation for crafting “imaginary narratives.”
As a film enthusiast, I’d put it this way: “Here’s what we’re exploring on tonight’s episode, drawing from real-life occurrences. We can only speculate that something similar transpired.”
According to Moe Hashim, there is still much we don’t know about some individuals who resided in Rome during that period.
As a movie buff, I’d put it this way: “The show only touches on the true events,” I admitted. “My role in the series might be more fictional than based on fact since there isn’t much known about North African history and their gladiator involvement.”
The novel introduces us to a diverse group of Romans living in 79 AD, including Jóhannesson and Hashim’s gladiators Viggo and Kwame, and the crime lord Tenax from Rheon’s underworld.)
Additionally, Anthony Hopkins, Sara Martins from Death in Paradise, Tom Hughes of Victoria, and Rupert Penry-Jones formerly of Spooks are part of the ensemble.
According to writer Robert Rodat (Thor: The Dark World, The Patriot, Saving Private Ryan), there is no other time in history that shares so many similarities with the present day.
Despite being rooted in the past, this show provides an intriguing perspective on current themes such as entertainment, violence, immigration, gender, poverty, ambition, and wealth.
