Rome General

Atia and Antony were both so jaded that they weren't capable of understanding the concept of love.

>>79799633
Atia did get really upset when Antony wouldn't even come out to see her in Alexandria.

Slapping Vorenus and all that.

>>79799816
Never really thought of it this way before, but is it not having Antony anymore, or is it being inferior to another woman, so to speak? I mean, I guess it's both

>>79799330
He loved Ceasar, Attia was just a political maneuver.

She was pretty unhappy to hear about Antlny being dead.


Antony was probably my favorite character after Julius Caesar. Although I liked all the main ones as well. That scene where he saw Caesar dead and slowly backed out of the building was very striking to me for some reason.

I was just re-watching the series on my computer with headphones instead of on tv.

The creaking of leather is constant.

A subtlety that was lost during previous viewings.

What is this thing they hold above their heads sometimes? I tried looking it up but didn't even know how to word it. It's not a crown because he's already wearing the golden wreathe.

>>79799816
Doesn't mean it's love. She slapped him because he threatened to send his guards to forcefully remove her if she didn't leave and that she likely knew that he was lying when he said that he got his orders to remove her from Antony and not Cleopatra. Also, it's because it happened with his bride and mother of his child being there with her, and the fact that it probably took them ~20 days in traveling to get to Alexandria from Rome, with most of it being on a dingy smelly ship with nothing to do and costing a fair amount of money. It's possible she was just acting like a cunt because she realized for a change that she was powerless and just been made into a bitch.

It's the Roman equivilent of medals, you won them for military success.

>>79800267
One is the laurel crown for his victory over the Gauls and the other is the civic crown for his victory in ending the civil war by defeating Pompeii.

Did Pullo ever bang Octavians mom?

>>79800636
Nah, he impregnated Cleopatra though which is pretty based.

Best Roman coming through.

If you haven't read Cicero then you don't know shit about the Romans.

>>79801119
Her friend Jocasta talked about fucking her father's big dicked slaves

>>79801142
In the beginning i thought Cicero was typical cowardly swedish rat beta backstabbing aristocrat, but later i came to realize he was an honorable man.

He was brave at death as well.

>>79801211
He shouldnt have been that much of a pussy though

>>79801325
>>79801351
Overall it was pretty respectful, though. Pullo gave Cicero time and even tried to make it as easy as possible

>>79799330

I don't think so.

Our idea of love was mocked and despised in ancient Rome, by the way, especially between the patrician class.

In my opinion the writers shouldn't have killed Pullo's wife. His ending would have been happier with her instead of him with Caesarion; whom in reality Augustus killed.

>>79799330
Is there another show that portrayed wincest better than this? No really I really want to know. It's my big fetish.

>>79801686
Bates Motel? Though that's mother-son, so I don't know if you'd be into that.

>>79801722
Don't be a goose. Come in.

I dont think 'love' as we think of it in 2017 meant the same thing at all in BC

if i liked Rome will I like Spartacus?

>>79801211
>cowardly swedish rat beta backstabbing aristocrat
you ware right the first time

>>79801964
whether or not you like Spartacus depends entirely upon whether or not you're from America.

Terms? Of surrender? Fucking slave talk.

>>79801991
i am from america?

>>79801142
Nah, he was a bitch ass optimate. Literally the lindsey graham of BC.

Would've been an infinitely better show if every Atia scene was a Cleopatra scene instead

>>79802128
Show Cicero has the same mannerisms. IRL Cicero was pretty impressive but still wrong.

>>79799330
Finished the show yesterday.

Really wish it was overall a different show. I felt it lacked focus. It should have been a show about the major historical figures with Vorenus and Pullo occasionally giving commentary, or a show focused on Vorenus and Pullo as they live through major events in ancient Rome. I couldn't care any less about Vorenus' death at the end, or about Pullo's son. The only scene that really got me with those two was when Vorenus asked Pullo what's between him and the slave and he said something like, "I don't know, she just makes me feel good."

I, Claudius > Spartacus > Rome

>>79801964
If you're a fan of the general setting, then you should most definitely enjoy Spartacus.

Spartacus had an awesome cast of characters.

What was wrong with Caesar? Was it autism?

>I couldn't care any less about Vorenus' death at the end

You have awful taste. Vorenus' death is symbolic, dying during Octavian's triumph and the end of the republic.

>>79802196
>Cicero was wrong! What the Romans really needed was a bunch of inbred psychotics to run the Empire into the ground to achieve true greatness!

>>79802561
Early Imperial Rome was indisputably the greatest pre-industrial civilization.

>>79802561
yeah because three generations of civil wars and shared power was working out so great

>>79802665
until Caracalla awarded universal citizenship to barbarians and it all went to shit

>>79800511
I think it was to show that this was a poorer area with all the gangsters hence the communal cup.
