Would you watch an anime about cute Roman senators doing cute things?
There's already one about cute bath houses.
>>133478246
I would watch it for the cute gladiator games and cute orgies.
>>133478246
I want to see an anime about Sulla, doing cute Sulla things

>>133478246
If they were cute Roman Senator girls, yes
I ship Gaius Sempronius and Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus
>>133478487
No, senate means assembly of old men so you'll have to do with that.
>>133478246
Probably. Rome was a pretty cool place and the Japanese seem to think so as well judging from their references to it in anime.
>>133478259
So, Thermae Romae thread?

No. You ain't getting it anon. Old man as in old men with wrinkly baggy skin, fat belies and liver spots. Although they can have cute girls as slaves/attendants.
It should be drawn by the manga-ka for Gate, who has already demonstrated mastery of Roman clothing

What does the average Westerner think of Tang dynasty China? I doubt they're concerned much with ancient empires on the other side of the planet.
>>133481507
Not at all, I like feminine women, much like my Athenian predecessors
>>133481621
That's what makes it interesting, that outside view.
>>133481657
I'm saying they don't give a shit. It's utterly irrelevant to them.
>>133481621
The Tang were based as fuck
>>133481939
>you'll never be bros with gaius and aulus
Why live
Quisquis amat. Veniat. Veneri volo frangere costas fustibus et lumbos debilitare deae.
Si potest illa mihi tenerum pertundere pectus quid ego non possim caput illae frangere fuste?
>>133481480
They have a fairly positive view. There's also a bestselling15-volume historical series called "Tales of Romans" (Roma-jin no monogatari) which gives the narrative history from Rome's founding to the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
>>133481621
No, any non-retarded Japanese person would at least heard of the Roman empire. You can't really say the same for the Tang, since even most people in the West wouldn't even know their Tang from the Han or Ming. Chinese dynasties is usually lumped in together as just one continuous Chinese empire if they're mentioned in public high school classes.
>>133482396
They may have heard of it, but I sincerely doubt they care at all.
>>133482494
Does even the average person in the West "care" about the Roman empire? I really can't see anyone who's not a fan of history being able to name even 3 Roman emperors.
>>133482544
Caesar, Caesar, Caesar and Caesar.
It's not that difficult when they share the same name.
"Caesar" eventually became synonymous with "emperor", hence German "Kaiser" which is pronounced the same.
I really hope you don't read "Caesar" as "See-zar".
>>133482544
They probably have at least some concept of what it was, if only because our (pop) culture, language, architecture and whatnot are all so infused with their influences. Europeans may even see the ruins themselves in their surroundings. For the Japanese, high school history class is the first, only and last thing they'll ever see of it.
>>133482544
Easiest is probably Nero, Caligula, and Caesar.
>>133482631
The Japs pronounce Latin names better than English-speakers do because the katakana is already spelled that way.
Caesar: カエサル
Justinian: ユスティニアヌス
You got me in a AoD mood, so yes
>Burutasu-kun...
>Omae mo ka?
R O M A
O L I M
M I L O
A M O R
>>133482756
Pure irony.
But understandable, the Kana give you a guide on how to pronounce it. It limits the freedom of possible expressions, but that is something positive here.
>>133482777
This works in Japanese better than expected.
>Mi fili brute
>Et tu?
>>133482720
I'm not doubting that they don't have some sort of knowledge on it. I'm just pointing out that if we want to get strict with what "caring" means, then I don't think the average Westerner actually cares.
If we adopt the looser version of caring, then sure. But in that case, you can definitely say the Japanese public cares somewhat about Roman history as well. Like I said in >>133482396, there was a multivolume series about Roman history which became a bestseller not too long ago. When was the last time you saw a multivolume (!) history series becoming a bestseller in America? Could you ever imagine even a single volume history book about Japan or China becoming a bestseller in America?
>>133482720
>Europeans may even see the ruins themselves in their surroundings.
>may
it's practically inescapable. we had plenty of class trips to various roman excavation sites and buildings.. and of course any trip through italy will likely pass by more than one.
Hell, some small parts of the roman roads are still in pedestrian use today.
>>133478300

>>133482738
>Caesar
he wasn't an emperor
>>133482631
Kaiser and Caesar aren't pronounced the same.
>>133482955
He might have meant Augustus Caesar
But yeah Julius was dictator not emperor, and his vision for rome was quite different to what Octavian had for it. History noobs never know this for some reason.
Anyway I'd love to see something about Caesars wars in Gaul. Or Marius vs the Germans. Dont know how you could turn that into an anime with cute girls but think of a way Japan.
>>133482786
>A M O R
lewd
>>133482955
I couldn't go wrong if I just said Caesar and not the not emperor right? How do you call the not emperor Caesar if they're all Gaius Julius Caesar?
>>133483050
Almost. The S in Caesar is sharp and the R is tongue rolled, that's the only difference to Kaiser.
Latin C is always as the new K
AE is a diphthong that is pronounced like "ai"
S is always sharp.
A is like German A or あ if you want.
R is a tongue rolled R, different from German words ending on R.
>>133482544
Depends what you mean by "West". In Yurop learning about Roman Kingdom, Republic and Empire is huge chunk of education and we can still see their influences on everyday basis.

>>133483125
AE is pronounced like "ai"? That's news to me. I've taken 5 years of Latin and we always pronounced it well just ae or ä I guess while the "ai" in Kaiser is pronounced like "ei".

>>133478246
This is actually what I sometimes imagine, you know, especially after watching Nobuna-chan.
Think about this; an American schoolboy who love to play Rome Total War, somehow gets transferred to the ancient Rome where all the heroes are loli, including Caesar. The protag now has to fight along with her and help her to conquer the barbarians while dealing with dirty politics at home

>>133486085
Hannibal is obvious, but Spartacus is probably due to our modern tendency to heroize slaves who fight for FREEDOM.
Besides, NOBODY WANTS TO PLAY AS PONTUS.
>>133486155Hello Clarice
>>133486171

You're saying that like you won't be wet from the victory of half-prepared slaves over the Army.
>>133485428
why is that remind me of this?
>>133478246
Cute legions doing cute things in Gaul.
>>133486855
The Gauls have high helplessness-moe and need Caesar-sama's guidance.
>>133486085
Because Jugurtha revealed that the true weakness of Rome was not battle but the greed of its commanders and politicians.
As for Mithridates, the Romans made peace twice so that they could focus on their civil wars.
These conflicts are probably not well known because their implications for modern politics are all too clear.
>>133487160

>Jean V d'Armagnac
Styled Viscount de Lomagne while his father lived, John succeeded him as Count of Armagnac when he died (5 November 1450);
soon after, he started a relationship withhis sisterIsabelle, Lady of the Four-Valleys (Dame des Quatre-Vallées), ten years his junior, whom the chronicler Mathieu d'Escouchy accounted one of the great beauties of France and whose betrothal to Henry VI of England had been under consideration.
When word got out that two boys (John and Anthony) had been born in the castle of Lectoure, the couple promised to reform their controversial behavior.
But within a few months John solemnized the union between the two by claiming to have obtained a papal dispensation from Pope Callixtus III, shortly after their third child, a daughter called Rose (or Mascarose) was born.

I hate some of the shit in the letters much more. The translations are awkward as fuck, no matter where you look and even if you translate it yourself it ends up being some shit like "The volcano erupted, sparks had flown, the ship sailed henceforth I am become sad."
You need to interpret and twist the / a few sentence(s) quite a bit if you want them to make any fucking sense, grammatically speaking.

>caecilius
The wealthiest people in Pompeii were nothing compared to a senator of Rome when it came to money. You had senatorial houses where people would create tiled floor with marble from three different ends of the empire just to show off their wealth.

Latin is a pain in the ass to translate. Especially when people like Pliny try to make it all artsy. Something has to be lost
>>133492007
Yeah, but Caecilius is mai bishie.

You can't directly translate from Latin, you always have to paraphrase to some extent (still not as bad as with Japanese)
>tfw we had to translate texts literally since the professor wanted to check if we learnt the grammar and you were never sure if you actually got it right since the translation always came out as a garbled mess

Yeah, sure, that's the translation our whole course came up with after like 20 minutes of discussion. Plinius' texts were so stupid that even our teacher went full "fuck the grammar, let's just get this over with".
I'm always faintly surprised at how many people learn Latin on /a/.
Is it just to help with English grammar, or do you like the language?
