I feel like there's a lot of subtleties to this people oversimplify. I get the impression that while the occasional dicking was usually seen as just a harmless quirk, being a genuine homosexual. As in, only attracted to other men, would have been frowned upon by the Romans.

Clodius Pulcher was from a fairly respected patrician family but got himself adopted by a pleb in order to become eligible to run as tribune so he could fuck with Cato the Younger.

>>87219068
perhaps things were more subtle in private circles
but this was politics, cutthroat highest order politics
that's where certain moral values become very simple, if Cicero was implying that Marc Anthony had taken it up the asshole you can bet it was framed in such a way to make him look like a weak, submissive degenerate

>>87219812
to be fair, a lot of it was framed to show how petty Atia's scheming was compared to the things Octavian would go on to do.
I mean the scene where she thinks he's getting fucked by Caesar, not even once does she consider Octavian managed to incur Caesar's favor by engaging with him on an intellectual level.

It's why in the end she loses her lover to an egyptian chick and he becomes the first emperor of rome

>>87219736
The Bongs botched it. BBC edited the first three episodes into two because "muh educated bongs know moar," which cut out a lot of exposition for the more salacious scenes. Consequently the show was much less popular than it should have been and as a result the BBC pulled it's smaller share of the funding for the show. HBO couldn't handle it all by itself at that point in time as it was the most expensive show they'd ever done and they didn't know it was going to be as popular as it turned out to be. Several execs have since said canceling it was a mistake. Game of Thrones is essentially HBO's lesson from that debacle.

Augustus employed a legal technically to ensure that during his reign every single triumph by any army technically belonged to him

so he was the leader of every single triumph for decades ensuring the public loved him.

problem with technological advances is that one of the roman strategies when faced with them was to absorb the first defeat, reverse engineer the technology and then strike back hard
It only took one beached Carthagian ship for the romans to build themselves a navy capable of standing up to them

As much as any of the eastern satrapies. I'd say they were more Persianized than Hellenized though.

>>87230039
But they were ruled by Macedonians for decades, no?

>>87230061
Eh, sort of. Parthia wasn't a well controlled Satrapy and outside of the big cities I think a lot of the Persians were still defacto independent. Bactria was a lot more heavily Hellenized than Persia proper IIRC.

It objectively wasn't. Consider that the Roman Empire ended in 1453, not 476, and that during the majority of its lifespan Christianity was the state religion and Christian morality was often backed by state power.

>>87243001
>Why was the roman empire so much more degenerate than the roman republic?

It wasn't. People just have a habit of taking Roman authors at their word. Romans were like /pol/, constantly moralising and complaining about how degenerate the world is. Every Roman writer from the 3rd century BC up to the end complained about decadent their own age was compared to the bread eating, virtuous era of their ancestors.
