Why didn't he say "You too, Brutus" ?
He got stabbed to death before he could.
>>68090962
pleb shit, never happened
This was the edgiest shit.
Why did the writers think it was a good idea to kill their best actor. It's like Game of Thrones season 1 when they killed off Ned.
>>68090962
Assuming you're being serious: because that's exactly the kind of retarded Hollywood shit Rome actively avoided
>>68091052
How is it retarded ?
>>68091254
It's the kind of gratuitous clapboard cliche that more formulaic shows with their pasteboard sets and high-school-drama-club performances would indulge. It's amateur, laughable, and profoundly cringeworthy - and of course it never happened.
The thing about Rome was how it subverted all that garbage, being a worm's-eye view of the action. For example we hear about Caesar's funeral at second hand from a bunch of thugs in a brothel. An inferior show would have gone through the motions of showing us Antony's speech, because they lacked imagination and just recycled Shakespeare as a substitute for actual writing. That's why Rome is so superior to others of its ilk.
>>68091052
such a great scene. And how brutus dies as well.
>>68090962
He muttered something, it was open to interpretation
He may have said et tu mi figli and we didn't hear it
Ummmm???? Spoiler tag that shit next time.
>>68091400
The show does a superb job of showing the impossible position Brutus was put in, and how he struggles to deal with it.
if you want to be a next level pretentious douche, the quote is "et tu brute" not "et tu brutus"
alright i'll be autistic somewhere else chill jeez
>>68091254
because that scene was so well acted it didnt need to have the words shoehorned in.
bcuz shakaspere invented it
>>68091428
I loved Augustus rise to power as well. The whol series was so good. They didnt even go too overboard with the sex it was all done really well. I imagine today there'd be a 20 minutes roman gang bang orgy. And then some badly acted death as he poorly acts out the words ''et tu brutus''
meh
>>68091018
Caesar existed and died the same way in real life you dumb casualfag, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
>>68091517
>>68091403
He probably saidfuck your mother
i mean it was like 2000 years ago
how do we know for sure he even said it?
>>68091511
>. They didnt even go too overboard with the sex it was all done really well.
Even the sex scenes made sense in the plot, rather than just being there for "muh shock value". Like when Livia and Octavian are playing their little games, or the way it charts the relationship between Antony and Atia.
Because Shakespeare wasn't a historian. There is literally no historical evidence that Caesar ever said something like this.
I don't watch the show but judging from that webm (a soundless one at that) they didn't need him to say the line. Its all there in his face and his eyes.
>>68091052
One of my favourite scenes is how Brutus is in exile and tries to explain to a foreigner what a noble and necessary thing he did when he stabbed Ceaser.
>tfw Rome actually existed
SHAME ON THE HOUSE OF PTOLEMY
>>68091352
That moment really got me.
>>68091545
i think the most poignant scene was that woman you remember Julius lover. Where she went up against attica i think and ended up being so humiliated she killed herself in front of her house after weeks of just sitting outside her house.
>>68091352
I think you're right
>>68091739
ATIA OF THE JULII
I CALL FOR JUSTICE
>>68091811
yess!!!! and then after all of that to just kill yourself in front of her and she acts like ''pfft waste of 5 minuets''
>>68091739
ATTICA OF THE JULII I CALL FOR JUSTICE
>>68091052
>those looks on their faces
Great acting, didn't even need to say a thing and you can see the thoughts of betrayal in both their eyes.
>>68091052
if only right at the very end he said....you too bru....
>>68091052
>retarded Hollywood shit Rome actively avoided
it literally had a slave BBC scene
>>68092070
fuck yeah it even knew how to cuck the audience properly not like this jessica jones.
>>68090962
>Sic semper tyrannis
>Y-you too
>tfw you wanted Julius Caesar to win
>>68092070
One of the funniest moments in the show tbqhf
>>68092206
i dont remember this is there a webm?
>>68092165
its all good the long term game plan of Augustus winning ultimate victory was worth it.

what do you think it feel like to be stabbed to death? i'm terrified of dying.
>>68092264
>dicks on youtube
what the fug
>>68092070
that's a hilarious scene and you fucking know it, anon
>>68091052
I love Rome, but it was NOT great at avoiding pseudo-historical "retarded hollywood shit"
>>68092313
maybe but it also had lesbians, incest, rape, forced abortions etc. etc.
lots of forced HBO shit
pretty good but not the amazing historical documentary /tv/ acts like it is
>>68092350
>maybe but it also had lesbians, incest, rape, forced abortions etc. etc.
Sounds a lot like ancient Rome to me
Also
>amazing historical documentary
>rome
Stop, anon, my sides. My fucking sides, anon.
>>68092264
>>68092264
thanks that was fucking brilliant. Atia is amazing. Big dicks are always welcome.
>>68090962
>I knew it was you Brutus, I knew all along, you fucking pleb
Wow, Milius.
>>68090962
>get stabbed
>drop the spaghetti
>mumble "Y-you too" before you die
Is this how one of the greatest tacticians in history died?
What is some essential reading on the Roman Empire?
I want to learn more about it so much now, we didn't talk about the Romans at all in school.
>>68090962
Caesar: JUST
>>68092533
Pierre Grimal's History of Rome is a good entry-level and short read.
