The fall of "Rome" will happen sometime in early 2007.
HBO announced recently that the second season of its epic series set in the time of Caesar will debut Jan. 7. At the same time, the network says next season will be the last for the show.
Filming on season two is currently taking place at the Cinecitta Studios in Rome and will wrap in October. Once that's done, though, the show -- a co-production with the BBC -- will call it quits.
"Rome" was one of the most expensive projects in TV history -- reports pegged the cost of the first season at somewhere around $100 million.
