>"Upon hearing of the defeat, the Emperor Augustus, according to the Roman historian Suetonius in De vita Caesarum ("The Lives of the Caesars"), was so shaken that he stood butting his head against the walls of his palace, repeatedly shouting: "Quintili Vare, legiones redde!“ ('Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions!')"

What the fuck was this guy's problem? All the wars and family members and friends and enemies dying, and none of it affected him? But the loss of 3 legions in a German forest made him tear his clothes and bang his and not cut his hair for months?

ruined his plans for conquest, he probably realized how difficult it would be to reestablish Roman presence in germania, let alone get the various tribes to submit to you after that kind of defeat. Maybe he saw the future of an unchecked germania and realize the growing threat

>>87785556
that would've been the dopest shit i can just imagine his gleaming proudest smile

>>87787665
this was a big deal as he lost three whole fucking legions to literal barbarians and was a sign that the glory of rome has ended and won't last much longer as a civilization.

>>87788420
>>87788363
I get that, but it wasnt such an irredeemable loss, romans had battles were they had more than 20 legions in the field, What happened in Teutoberg is basically equivalent to Vietnam. A demoralizing and political defeat, but hardly a destruction of the military, even minimal losses compared to some other engagements

>>87788602
But just like Vietnam, it was a huge blow to Roman confidence after their nearly undefeated streak of victories in its past 200 years. Must be the reason why Rome never crossed the Rhine after the defeat

>>87788602
Read Goldsworthy. Augustus (and Rome) didn't really feel that was a huge loss in the grand scheme of things, especially when compared to Cannae and Carrhae. There is no Germanic boogieman in Roman history. Rome had no plans to occupy Germania. And like the Parthians, when they did meet in battle, Rome usually crushed them and reestablished their borders.

>>87788916
>"even years later, Augustus was known to mutter "Quintilli Varus, legionnes redde"
>"The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest was keenly felt by Augustus, darkening his remaining years."

Apparently he also cut his clothes in mourning and didnt get a haricut for like a year after. I wouldnt say he didnt consider it a great loss

Ancient sources make it patently clear that Cleopatra was not particularly good looking. She was in a line of 300 years of incest for heaven's sake. What people found attractive in her was her incredibly intelligence and powerful charisma. She was very learned due to her position and it made Roman generals, who came across like uncultured plebs by comparison, stunned by her. A powerful woman was pretty scary to some.

>>87792093
My concern there would be that, with such little time to develop each figure as a character, it'd come across more like a History Channel special than what we found in Rome.

Rather, we could get a season, perhaps (provided the powers that be were gracious enough to allocate sufficient funds for multiple seasons) chronicling a specific period or event.
>Revolt against the Tarquins and the birth of the Republic
>Punic Wars
>Sulla's Civil Wars
>Caesar's campaign in Gaul
>Year of the Four Emperors
>Relative stability under the Nerva-Antonine emperors
>Division of the Empire
>Constantine the Great and toleration of the Christians
>Dissolution of the Western Empire

Granted, that's still probably far more than any studio would be willing to create, and no doubt horrifically expensive. Even still, I wonder if an episodic approach might be more approachable than a single, 2000+ year storyline.

>Constantine XI, last Roman Emperor

>Before the beginning of the siege, Mehmed II made an offer to Constantine XI. In exchange for the surrender of Constantinople, the emperor's life would be spared and he would continue to rule in Mistra. As preserved by G. Sphrantzes, Constantine replied:

>To surrender the city to you is beyond my authority or anyone else's who lives in it, for all of us, after taking the mutual decision, shall die of our own free will without trying to save our lives.

>Constantine led the defence of the city and took an active part in the fighting alongside his troops in the land walls. At the same time, he used his diplomatic skills to maintain the necessary unity between the Genoese, Venetian, and Greek troops.

>Constantine died the day the city fell, 29 May 1453. There were no known surviving eyewitnesses to the death of the Emperor and none of his entourage survived to offer any credible account of his death.

>According to Michael Critobulus (writing later in Mehmed's service) he remarked, "The city is fallen and I am still alive."Then he tore off his imperial ornaments so as to let nothing distinguish him from any other soldier and led his remaining soldiers into a last charge where he was killed.

SHIELDS ON ME

>>87788602
Up until that point Rome was making inroads into Germania with the intention of pushing the border as far as the Elbe. While the Romans had the tenuous loyalty of the many of the tribes their position had not yet been consolidated. It would take decades of investment but if Rome could secure Germania as a province then Rome's territorial borders would be much easier to defend. The defeat at Teutoburg was therefore such a blow to Augustus as in one swoop it basically threw a huge investment out the window. All the time, effort and money they had made in trying to secure the potential province were for nothing. This fucked up Augustus' psyche as a result and is what led to his later edict to his successors not to expand the empire.

Please keep all mockery of Jews and their one god to an appropriate minimum.
