Who are the Sons of the Roman Emperor in “Those About to Die”? - The Flavian Dynasty
0In Those About To Die, Peacock’s 10-episode series centered around the evolution of sports entertainment in Ancient Rome, everything trickles down from the top. At the top of the top sits Emperor Vespasian, played by Anthony Hopkins, who rules Rome, but Vespasian is old and now has to choose between his two capable sons: Titus (the soldier) and Domitian (the politician).
