A Hindu in Rome - HBO 'Rome' (ENG) subs

Ex-centurion Lucius Vorenus having fallen on hard times is forced to punish Tanjit (Parvez Qadir) an Indian merchant, on behalf of his new boss, Erates Fulmen - a leading Roman gangster. Three minutes of detail-packed world-building covering Rome’s trade with India, Hindu religious practices, scrofulous truffle pigs and more. A superb depiction of the global connectedness of Imperial Rome. Shame on the House of HBO for cancelling this magnificent show. Shame.
