Rome

Because it was convenient for the plot.

it's hard to find good help, even when you're Caesar.

They weren't ever that nice to them. Ceasar rewarded them for doing well and being lucky because he was superstitious. Anthony on one occasion wanted to punish them (when they let Pompey go). Anthony hired Vorenus because because he was short of experienced officers.

Vorenus is loyal and Pullo is a lovable oaf. They're also great fighters blessed by the gods.

i'm pretty sure mark antony asked caesar that and his reply was basically that they were being protected by the gods or something

Pretty much what everyone else said. The only bro stuff that went on was at the very end with Antony and Vorenus.

Mark Anthony was one of the better characters from anything i've seen, he was so loveable and flawed

Vorenus: You're no coward, but you do have a strong disease in your soul. A disease that will eat away at you - until you die.
Antony: Really. Hmm. And what is this disease?
Vorenus: I don't know. I'm not a doctor.
Antony: No - no you're not. So how can you be so sure of your diagnosis?
Vorenus: I recognize your symptoms. I have the same sickness.

Vorenus and Pullo actually existed. Caesar writes about their bravery during the battle of Alesia in his Commentaries on the Gallic War.

>>84905319
I always wondered about this.
Vorenus has several different jobs over the show that never end up working out. he leaves and rejoins the legion countless times.

would this actually be allowed back then?

>>84905345
Voreno was a centurion Caesar as a general and him have known each other for years if not decades

>>84906423
His term finished and then he became an Evocatus.
Those had privileges and was possible for the guys in command to adhoc them if they want. We have to consider Ceasar made up legions from his own pocket money, it's not like he had to explain the Senate who and why he hired up.

>>84905319
V&P obviously had some powerful gods on their side. Caesar was wise and tried to take advantage of that

"In that legion there were two very brave men, centurions, who were now approaching the first ranks, T. Pullo, and L. Vorenus.”

Caesars Commentaries on the Gallic Wars: Book 5 Chapter 44.

Reminder that he worships dogs and reptiles. He blackens his eyes with soot like a prostitute. He dances and plays the cymbals in vile Nilotic rites.
