Anyone else supported BASED Anthony over Octavian to the end?

You have to compare Rome to GoT because Rome was cancelled and rushed to the finish because of GoT.

I wish Purefoy had more recognition. Most underrated actor out there. He and Hinds reuniting in John Carter was great.

Julius chose Octavian as his heir because of his merit: which proved a wise choice. Anthony sold out his nation for selfish gain, and was not as skilled a strategist. Octavian proved selfless in his marital choice, and as a resolute servant of Rome.

Anthony was a bro, though. No lie there.

>HBO Rome is historically accurate

Holy fucking cringe.

>>87469928
no, real life history is historically accurate

Octavius did a lot more and a lot better for Rome than Caesar

>>87469666
>and he never really grew out of Caesar's shadow

Augustus was the greatest emperor Rome has ever had, he is the father of the Pax Romana. Caesar was just a good military commander.

You fucking retard Augustus was viewed as a god after his Imperium. He exceeded Julius Caesar in his renown in Rome.

>>87470516
>having to resort to insults
ebin

Augustus is based. That being said I think he owes much to Agrippa's victories.

Yeah, if I were Agrippa I'd use my superior military skills to get revenge on Octavian for denying me my prime pussy, destroy Mark Anthony and rescue my waifu of the Julii

but they never fucked irl, so...

Honestly, what would Antonius have done for Rome in the long run? Nothing on the scale of Augustus. Antonius was the brash soldier, Augustus was the ruler.

>>87470633
We're talking about the show ya pinhead. The show isn't a 100% copy of real history. It's based on it, sure, but it isn't the same.

>>87471231
Probably either sat on his ass and kept things in their status quo as Dictator until he eventually dies. I really doubt he'd have set up the Roman Empire as Augustus did. He may have gone on a conquest somewhere to rile up support for continuing his reign.

So no Anthony wouldn't have been good as Octavian, but we're discussing characters in a TV show and their personalities, not the real life people that they're based on.

>>87471652
Show really potrayed Octavian quite badly in both seasons.

>>87470341
literal autism.

>>87471784
Yeah, which is my original topic. Show Octavian's a petulant brat, even if he does have good moments. He's a multi-faceted character (just like Anthony) but when you scale up the two characters in the show, Anthony comes out as the gruff experienced guy that would know what the fuck to do (until Cleopatra gets into his head) in comparison to momma's boy Octavian.

>>87469877
Octavian was a midling strategist backed up by based Agrippa. Octavian when on his own was as likely to lose, like he did against Sextus Pompey

>>87469666
ofc

I feel I would've liked season 2 Octavian if the actor wasn't replaced

For shame.

Lepidus is most comfy Roman. You join a triumvirate, fight a bit and then you bugger off to live a comfy life with the protection of Pontifex Maximus until dying of old age.

No, Octavian was /ourguy/, an incest loving autist who almost got cucked out of his rightful position by some chad but triumphed over him in the end
