A BBC series called Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire, which was part drama and part documentary on the lives of various Caesars.
So it had Sean Pertwee as Julius Caesar, Michael Sheen as Nero, James D'Arcy as Tiberius, Peter Firth as Vespasian, David Threlfall as Constantine and Sebastian Armesto as Honorius along with British character actors like David Warner, Geraldine James, Catherine McCormack, Phillip Jackson, Tom Bell and a bunch of others.
Really good stuff.
The Nero episode was something special though. Witness the scenes where Nero murders Poppaea.
