>He was a CONSUL OF ROME!
what did he mean by this?
he was wii u lol
You don't defile/debase the remains of a ruler of rome and expect another ruler of rome to be okay with it.
>CONSUL CAN YOU SHUT THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME
WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE SENATE
YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK
>greatest civilization of the world
>allowing some barbarians ruled by a fat spoiled child to mutilate the body of a renown general and active political figure, be him your enemy or not
Only women and cowards can't understand honor.
Shhhhh! Caesar is sleeping!
Watching the show now, I'm dreading Caesar's death because Ciaran Hinds is so fucking good. It's a crime he didn't get at least an Emmy nomination
>>62786743
>some barbarians
Egypt was ancient before Romulus and Remus ever sucked on that wolf tit
>>62786846
Still a bunch of savages for roman standards, dwelling on a better past and being Rome's bitch.
just finished watching this show and now suddenly there are threads on /tv/ about it. why? does /tv/ revolve around me?
>>62786900
It didn't help that the dynasty at that time was a bunch of beta Greeks
>>62786947
Did you watch S2? Is it worth it?
>>62786607
kek
Is there a better bromance than Pullo-Vorenus?
>>62786984
yes I did, why wouldn't I?
>/tv/ recommends Rome to me.
>Main character is a kekold.
>>62787012
I donno. I heard mixed things so I didn't watch it.
>>62787048
how could you just walk away from S1 the way things ended?
>>62787029
So is Caesar
>>62787029
I dont think it really counts, seeing as she thought he was dead for like 5 years or some shit like that.
>watching Rome
>gets spoiled by Shakespeare
Fuck
>>62787029
this show gave me a disdain for women. whores, the lot of them.
>>62787048
Nah dude, s2 may not be as good as s1 but its leagues better than most of the crap on tv today.
>>62787091
some of the characters are fictitious so you won't be spoiled by history
>>62787069
I didn't really get into Vorenus and Pullo like most people did, and I liked Caesar a lot and obviously he died
Augustus seemed like a giant pussy but apparently they change his actor.
>>62786984
It's not as good as S1 generally but it also has some of the best moments of the entire series
>>62787091
Caesar's irl death (as depicted pretty accurately on Rome) is way more moving than his death in the play
>>62787143
yeah they change him, but its kind of uncanny. the new actor looks just like a grown up version of the old one.
also, best girl?
>>62786948
Indeed, it never helps to have bitches as rulers. One of the main ills of a monarchic/one man rule type of system is precisely that, one disastrous enough ruler can bring down a history of centuries of a certain system and lineage to the ground.
>>62787155
Yeah I was wondering if they were going to use "et tu, Brute" or not. I guess I'm glad they didn't
>>62787211
wow I had the exact same thoughts and conclusion.
>>62787211
He didn't deserved it.
>>62787203
She was so stupid she was tricked into fucking her own brother. She's the absolute worst girl.
Why did the writers try so hard to paint Brutus as a noble and honourable man? Curious.
>>62787211
there was a close up on hind's eyes that was an unspoken "et tu brute" for me.
>>62787211
Yeah the play is good but that's what it is: a play. For the sake of making it understandable they have to have dialogue. Caesar being completely silent and only articulating his feelings through his expressions is far more affecting and is only really possible on film. Props to Ciaran Hinds for doing such a good job
>>62787286
>absolute worst girl
ahem
>>62787203
Yeah she was a waifu a decade ago between Rome and Danny the Dog; atleast until I heard her natural voice in an interview, and it was full on inaudible potato.
>>62787286
You think that's the worst? Bitch almost brought down her own family when she started munching Servilia's rug. Spied on her mother, and almost made his brother rat on Caesar's illness (epilepsy) which would have been a political fucking disaster. Apollo's curse they called it? Can't remember.
>>62787404
caesar didnt have epilepsy you idiot read a book
>>62787438
>mini-strokes
yes that is so much better
>>62787438
I'm talking about the series you fucking idiot. You do realize you are on /tv/, right? You realize Rome is historical fiction, yeah?
I'm not talking about history.
>>62787506
not him but even in the show he didn't have epilepsy
>>62787516
???
>>62786750
Wake up Ceasar!
>>62787537
>tell your mom I was fucking you in the ass
>whatever you do just don't tell anyone I had a seizure
Did you guys know that in real life the stab wound that killed Caesar was a groin wound? Many historians believe that this wound might have been the one inflicted by Brutus, since he felt emasculated by the fact that Caesar had been having relations with his mother. Brutus literally killed Caesar by stabbing him in the dick.
>>62787516
Are you fucking kidding me? It certainly looked like epilepsy. And was certainly implied to be that, feel free to show me an official plot from HBO that states they were strokes instead of epilepsy.
>>62787619
This is bullshit, but I believe it.
>>62787610
>getting fucked in the ass by your uncle is A-OK
>How dare you fuck your sister you've ruined us
I wish HBO made more shows of important times in history, and just dropped vorenus and pullo in the middle with their everyday converations about religion and cunny. Mickey mousing their way through surviving major events and having friendly times.
>>62787671
Uncle was the most powerful man in Rome, Attia the most power hungry and pretentious cunt you could ever meet.
>>62787702
>Titus Pullo fired the first shot at Lexington and fucked Sally Hemings
>Lucius and Titus raised the flag on Iwo Jima
>Titus shot JFK
>>62787308
Because he likely actually believed killing Caesar would save the Republic.
>>62787766
>American 'history'
>>62787874
>buttmad eurokek
Lucius Vorenus is objectively the best character.
>>62787516
>>62787634
Livy specifically describes Caesar having what was known as the falling disease which is now considered to have been epilepsy or seizures or something like that.
>>62788001
>best character
>too autistic to know that every woman has a clitoris
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMV-GdAeBpU
>>62788001
best scene is when pullo is telling him about the clitoris and he starts getting really pissed off
>>62787874
>American 'history' X
>>62788066
>>62788068
clitmind
>>62788066
>>62788068
That only proves he's the best character.
Truly a /tv/ relatable character in nearly every way.
>>62788068
I love it when he freaks the fuck out when he mentions Niobe having a clit
>>62788068
are you me?
>>62788066
I thought it was a rather clever, funny and endearing way of implying that his wife was the only woman he'd ever fucked.
love this show
>>62786591
I'm honestly surprised that none of you memester's have posted this by now.I guess I'm the memester now
>>62788253
haha, saved.
>>62787610
Proof once again that even getting fucked by your uncle is better than being a snitch bitch.
bumo
Is there a character more based than Mark Antony?
>>62786846
>implying a civilization can't become shitty after a while
>implying Egypt was ever great at all
>>62787619
No
"Suetonius relates that a physician who performed an autopsy on Caesar established that only one wound (the second one to his chest) had been fatal. This autopsy report (the earliest known post-mortem report in history) describes that Caesar's death was mostly attributable to blood loss from his stab wound."
>>62786591
go back to /v/ with your /v/ meme phrases
>>62788875
Stabbing someone must feel fucking eerie. Pretty messy too.
>>62786607
>>62789112
I've stabbed someone once by accident. Can confirm it's pretty fucked up.
>>62789096
hello reddit

>Almost never expanded beyond their natural borders
>No great generals
>Pharaohs were dandies
>Got keked by Rome and Byzantium for combined 700 years
bump for more rome discussion !
>>62790131
stop bullying Egypt
bump i love this show
>keep the insults to the Jews to a minimum
what did he mean by this?
How would you guys say the Rome ranks up with the Xbone'd and PS4?
>>62786591
HE DIDN'T DIE SO GOOD
this show had way too much forced sex and degeneracy (rape, abortion, incest, lesbians, bbc slaves, etc.)
if HBO would just make some decent historical shows I'd watch
I don't get the love this show gets in here. Isn't this just GoT light? A lot of the plot points like betrayal, politics, incest and sex were copied from GoT.
>>62791706
this guy's hand movements were hilarious

Really fucboi? Really?

It pains me that they wasted Hinds' talent on Game of Thrones.
