While there was violence throughout, it was appropriate and not overdone. That’s probably why I enjoyed the novel. I’m still secretly a kid inside and I don’t think I could handle watching the show. Although Bratiatus maintained a colorful blue streak throughout, that didn’t really bother me. I must admit I’m tempted to watch the show just to catch Lucy Lawless’ Lucretia, if she’s half as awesome as Morris wrote it

Don’t know if that translated to the book, but I love the way the writers attempt to make the dialogue sound like Latin (although sometimes in the last season they went overboard with it – if not delivered smoothly, it can sound like caveman speak).
