"The Roman Holidays" is a Hanna-Barbera animated television series that was broadcast in 1972 on NBC. It ran for 13 episodes before being cancelled. Very similar in theme to both "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons", "The Roman Holidays" brought a look at "modern-day" life in Ancient Rome, around 63 A.D. (with a 1970s touch), as seen through the eyes of Augustus "Gus" Holiday and his family.Fact|date=October 2008

Plot

Gus, his wife Laurie, their daughter Precocia (who, besides being the youngest of the family, is very intellectual) and their teen-aged son Happius, reside in the Venus de Milo Arms, with their landlord Mr. Evictus.

Gus works for a bossy supervisor named Mr. Tycoonius at the Forum Construction Company, and after a hard day's marble lifting, he was be greeted by the Holiday's pet, a lion named Brutus.Fact|date=October 2008
