Who was the best Rome character, and why was it Atia of the Julii?
>>62678124
she would realistically just be called "Atia". Every time someone says, "- of the Julii" I cringe a little.
>>62678177
Shit, i've been calling her that for years. How embarrassing.SHE ISN'T EVEN REAL, ANON
>>62678124
I loved the bit at the end of the series where she put her son's wife in her place
how
how cany anyone possibly claim there was a better character than Based fucking Anthony?
>>62678177
>she would realistically just be called "Atia".
By her immediate family members and friends, yes. Just like you would be referred to by only your first name if you had friends.
>>62678273
You simply can't; he was the best

I can't watch Rome. None of the characters look like Italians with the exception of Julius Caesar.
They should have just hired Mediterranean looking folks. They're plenty of Italian Americans, Jews (the ones that look like they'd actually come from the Mid East), Greeks, etc...

>>62678594
I'm Italian and you're an idiot who doesn't know what you're talking about. You probably don't even know what Italians would look like anyway. Eirene is the only Italian in the cast to my knowledge. But we don't really care, anyway.
And it's a BBC production, in English. So of course they have mostly British actors. Plus the majority of the extras are local Italians.

Why God tier, she is literally queen spoiled slut. And she ruined Marc Antony making him into a Egyption dandy. Was kinda disgusted Lucious stayed loyal to him.

What extraordinary names these plebs have...Pullo!?!
My dick was rockhard when she was going to whip Octavia end then she never did it. What a cockteasing slut.
Pullo and Vorenus are bad characters with bad writing and only underage edgelords like them btw. It worked for about seven episodes and everything they did after that was cringeworthy.
>>62678177
Yeah but Atia's the sort of person who wouldn't give a fuck about what's realistic and would totally insist on the "of the Julii" to be a cunt
>>62678594
I liked British Rome desu imo
>>62678624
Youtube followed this up by suggesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWdHSQ0Q9BY which was also a 10/10 scene
>>62678594
North Italians are white, unlike the dirty criminal scum that are "Italian-Americans". 90% of them are southern trash
>>62678219
?
of coarse Atia Balba Caesonia was real Anon. But she was likely considered to plebeian to be "of the Julii"... Just like you.
>>62678687
Do somebody have the part where the Newsreader is talking about Marc Anthony after he was made a traitor? Shit was hilarious.

What did he mean by this?
THIRTEEEEENTH!
season 1 augustus was a great actor for the role. He had a strong presence that made it believable he was the smartest guy in the room. Sucks that they lost him.

retarded italians i swear
>>62682140
Just because he is your enemy you shouldn't be a barbaric cunt, since he's still an integrate part of your political and social system. And also was a condecorated and successful general of the roman legions.
That's honor.

You don't tolerate shitskin provincials meteing out their barbaric 'justice' to your fellow Romans, no matter the severity of the beef you had with them. Caesar was planning to pardon Pompey just like he did with Brutus and Cicero, like a civilised Roman. It's like in Britain: if you're the Prime Minister and you lose an election, what you do is you congratulate your opponent and then sidle off, rather than enlisting some corrupt elements within the military and having him assassinated like in some African shithole country. Civilised people have principles. Civilised, upper-class people look out for each other no matter what side of the debate they happen to be on. The loser should be able to shake the winner's hand and admit defeat without blood being spilt. The fat Gyppo fuck Ptolemy decided to take justice into his own hands, not realising that his Roman master had higher ideals.
>>62678124
I hate that awful bitch.
Octavian was the best. It brought me so much joy watching Antony die towards the end. I had been waiting eagerly for his death. I was sad the series ended but it left on a high note.
>>62686270
Go to bed Octavian
>>62679245
Rome was one of the best shows ever.
Would you like some peaches?

Because she's the one I wanted the penetrate.
>>62678594
Vorenus is stated to be of Gaulic blood, hence his light skin and hair.
His wife looks like a fucking turk though
>>62678177
Nope, because Roman naming conventions were different from our own, Atia was her Praenomen (or personal name), which would be ued by her friends. But in Ancient Rome, there were very few different Praenomens, hence why you got so many people named Gaius, Lucius, Marcus, etc.
So, to anyone outside of family/friends, the Praenomen would be used with either a Nomen (Last name) or Agnomen (Special name) to differentiate. Since women were rarely awarded with Agnomen, she would have used her Nomen, Julii, so in fact she would have been called Julius Atia, or Atia of the Julii in English.
The actual Atia had a different name altogether, but that's neither here nor there

>>62678244
Then the next scene she watches on in horror as the son she always put down rises to become the Evil Emperor and puts the body of her ex-lover on display, why said son's wife smirks
>>62691142
Where does the 'of the Julii' come from?
Julius isn't in the genitive case, right?
Atia Juliorum would be the literal re-translation
>>62691069
His wife was a street shitter
>>62691261
It's being simplified for the audience, "of the Julii" associates Caesar much better than "Juliorum".
Also, wouldn't it be Julia Atia? Where does Julorium come from?
>>62685209
No you silly goose.
Only a Roman can pass judgement on a Roman.
Even the Pharaoh of Egypt has no authority over the lowest Roman citizen.
>>62691170
She's like a fucking fertility goddess.

Hottest bitch in Rome, I can replay all Rome episodes just to watch her and other 'reasons'
