This animated series from [[Hanna-Barbera]] is about a [[Dom Com]] family in "ancient" Rome. As on ''[[The Flintstones (Animation)|The Flintstones]]'', [[Anachronism Stew]] is an essential part of this series--but the starting point is later.
 
The head of the family is Augustus Holiday. He has a wife, Laurie; a daughter, Precocia, and a son, Happius, or "Happy"/"Hap" for short—much like ''[[The Jetsons (Animation)|The Jetsons]]'' (although unlike that show, this family features an older brother and younger sister). Their pet lion, Brutus, is a [[Big Eater]].
