Rome : Was Atia the best character on the show?

Simply a matter of taste here, but I for one cast my vote for Atia. I can't recall a single television character who remains so vividly in my memory. Everything about her is impeccable. Perfect. Hilarious and disturbing all at once. Watching her transition from a power hungry woman to a woman who realizes what her quest for power has created in her son is one of the most beautiful parts of television.

God, I wish this show would return somehow even after all these years.

I have to agree with you. Polly Walker was fantastic in this.
Her last scene at the end of S2 episode 10 was a perfect show of emotion.

She surely was the hottest female of the cast.

She was the most interesting character, male or female.

I despided every scene with her, constantly lying through her teeth
while smiling. Having her daughters lover killed then swearing on all
that is holy she had nothing to do with it.

I was hoping she'd get punished by Ceasar and tossed to the sodomites,
she makes you realize just how good liars women are, and just as evil.

And all the men in Rome make us realize what fine rapists and murderers men are, and just as evil.
