Summary Those About To Die's bloody take on Ancient Rome got mixed reviews, but its historical look at certain character deaths gave it weight and importance. Legendary actor Anthony Hopkins starred as the historically confirmed Roman Emperor Vespasian, whose grim end set the tone for a show that wouldn't flinch away from major character deaths. This was an important strategy for a show with a narrative that leaned so heavily on ancient history.
8 Andria This Corsi Brother Met An Untimely Death Basque actor Eneko Sagardoy played the eldest Corsi Brother, Andria, who died chariot racing. In the show, Andria traveled to Rome with his brothers from the Andalusian region of Spain, seeking his fortune with his family business. Unfortunately for Andria, it was his expertise with horses that led to his death. Andria's death in the show was a fair representation of how dangerous it was to ride chariots for sport in Roman times.
