Rome - this
autumn on BBC TWO
Other cast and characters
Porcius Cato - Karl
Johnson
The diehard leader of the hardline conservative faction
in the Senate. A man in whom sharp intellect and high moral stature
are made sinful by the fierceness of his zealotry.
Marcus Tullius Cicero - David
Bamber
Leader of the moderates in the Senate. A man of elegant
wit and deep judgment. The greatest orator of his day. He wages a constant
inner battle between principles and ambition.
Timon - Lee Boardman
An amiable but rapacious brigand and former horse-trader,
Atia's lover and her mercenary ally.
Quintus Pompey - Rick Warden
The son of Pompey Magnus. A nasty melding of sadistic
brutality and animal cunning. A source of alarm even to Pompey's closest
allies, Quintus' worst instincts are kept in check only by his reverential
love for his father.
Posca - Nick Woodeson
Caesar's slave and confidant.
