nah nah nah. that's for infomercials. they always use some british accent to fool the unwary
but rome was a bbc coproduction-- they specialize in period pieces, they have access to the best trained actors. and with hbo money, it's on sterioids--you should compare rome vs. i claudius and see the progress. i claudius was great too btw and so british sounding-- derek jacobi, john hurt, and the cheapest sets in the universe. it's so cheap you can't help to laugh at and admire the thing at the same time.
