Rome (intl) what's the difference?

I saw on TCM tonight that the first episode of Rome was listed. But it was listed as Rome (intl) which I assume means international version. Anyone know what the difference is between it and the original version?

I know that when initially shown on BBC the first three episodes were edited down into two. There's also a version that was heavily cut to remove the sex and violence though if I recall correctly that was only shown in Italy and during production that shot alternate versions of scenes which they knew Italian TV channels would take issue with
