Rome - "Death Mask"

First of all let me lambast the director - Dear Sir, the thing I like about Rome, is that it's very artfully been artless. No frills directing and the like. I approve of this. I disapprove of your flimmery directorial style.

I feel that the amount of stuff going on warrants a break down into points:

( Gaia )

If we've not converted Opera yet, I think that episode should do it.

( The rest of the Vorenus/Pullo household )

( House of Servilla )

( House of Timon )

( House of Caesar, and associated persons )

Anyone know who played Herod, IMDB are being useless on that front.
