There were so many things I liked about this episode- regardless if they were accurate or not. The raft of dead bodies was disgusting and interesting at the same time. Novel solution to say the least.

I really wished, though, they would have shown the battle of Pharsalus and left out some of the other stuff. In this day and age 10 extras can easily be made into ten thousand. It is done quite often as there seemed to be a hole in the episode or perhaps it was edited wrongly- made it seem like some one did a hack job on the edit with the few bits of battle that was shown.
