  1. Applying modern morals to past societies is in my mind a game for losers. Every nation has practices or behaviors that another group will define as immoral.

  3. Evil? By who's standards. By our standards yes they were. By the standards of their time? Slavery wasn't uncommon. It was more the norm. If they were evil I think it comes out in their entertainment. IE the Games. When it comes to entertainment concerning Rome I think my favorite are Lindsay Davis's series of detective stories set in late 1st century Rome. These feature Marcus Didius Falco and his adoptive daughter Flavia as the main protagonists. While the print editions are worth reading the audio editions are great. Aside from the British accents.
