ITT: A true Roman thread for true Romans
Why isn't town square news proclaiming still a thing?
Why isn't fucking slaves still a thing?
From pliant virgins to learned Greeks - Rufus has slaves for every budget.
Would you be a cruel or kind master, Sup Forums?
Based greeks, now everyone can be a citizen.
all clothes looked so comfy in that show
Greeks talk a whole pile of nonsense.
fuck em.
>I shall have this sad story told in the Forum. I will have it posted in every city in Italy, and you know the people are not so liberal with their wives as you are. They will say you wear cuckold's horns. They will say your wife betrayed you with a low born pleb on my staff. You will be a figure of fun. The proles will laugh at you in the streets, your soldiers will mock you behind your back
Was 'are Octavian the first Sup Forumsack?
He worships dogs and reptiles! He paints his eyes with soot, like a prostitute! He dances in VILE NILOTIC RITES
What's a Black dude doing there?
Nubians, innit?
Looking for a television to steal

>These are my daughters, redeemed from slavery. The eldest has been prostituted, the boy is my wife's child by another man. You will treat them with respect and kindness, or I will know the reason why.
What did he mean by this?
What would roman Sup Forums be like?
"NO PROSTITUTES, ACTORS, OR UNCLEAN TRADESMEN MAY ATTEND"
>tfw completed Spartacus, then Rome, then I,Claudius
Does any show cover the late roman empire/early dark ages period?
Probably alot of feelposting about being used by a higher status man for sexual services.
>Vorenus gets cucked by Evander
>Pullo gets cucked by Oedipus

Was Rome essential /cuckino/, Sup Forums?
HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME
I AM A SON OF HADES! I FUCK CONCORD IN HER ARSE!
Normies and their iphones
Bless those people who advertise for businesses in goofy outfits outside stores to carry on the tradition
Why isn't politicians punctuating their speeches with elaborate hand gestures still a thing?
honestly imagine all the cucking that went on in ancient times. you wouldn't be able to swing a cat without hitting a cuck
1. Yes
2. No, Pullo was never in a relationship with Eirene before he killed Oedipus
3. No, Julius wasn't banging Cleopatra when Pullo had sex with her. There's also no real way of knowing who's child it was, and Caesar was already married and cheating when he met Cleopatra and never publicly acknowledged the child as his own.
4. Kinda, but it was a loveless political marriage and he had his way with her and her mom.

It's like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, I love it.
I loved the dialog and gestures in ROME. A lot of Greek and Roman phrases and references to myths.
Spartacus was gay and try hard.
Also what does that finger gesture mean?
>tfw Posca got to fuck prime Jocasta
It's a shame her actress is in JUST mode now
Stop sharing this information with plebs.

Triggered.

Is Rome worth watching?

Proof IVchan was never good
Idiot animal.
a true patrician show for true patricians (fuck yes, you idiot go to HBO now)
Go fuck yourself.
Lol that's a pretty good commentary on communism, almost beggars belief.
Pretty much the greatest HBO show of all time, still good today 10 years later
She was the greatest milf ever
>There are literal plebeians on this board who haven't watched Rome.
Such a fucking sexy woman. My god did she pull me in with those first episode nude scenes. Perfect tits, great thick body... Flawless
I'd argue that the only flaw is Octavius getting recast which comes off goofy.
Also I got the feeling that they didn't know what to do with Pullo and Vorenus in S2.
yea, kind of happened when they got cancelled halfway through making season 2 so they crammed like 4 other seasons they had planned into one. It was a good show, and it was gone too soon
GoT is better
the b8 is strong in this one
Sopranos > Deadwood > Rome > Carnivale > True Detective > GoT
It is known.
Rome>Game of Thrones>Sopranos>Deadwood>Six Feet Under
I stopped watching sometime early on in season 2. Was that a mistake?
How much different would european history be if Cesar never posthumously adopted Octavian in his will?
It's for the best.
You avoided seeing Mark Antony paint his eyes like a prostitute.
>>mfw 90% of Roman politics was calling your political rivals cucks
it's as clear as day...we are descendants of Romans and thus shall call everyone who disagrees with a cuck
FUCKING CuCKS THE LOT OF YOU
youtube.com
There is more in this scene than in any of Game of Thrones.
not the first
but certainly the Best Autist Sup Forumsack of Rome
Rome > game of plebs
you sound like every woman's man
and every man's woman
Yelling has been displaced as an efficient form of communicating over distances. Perhaps you've used a phone in your lifetime.
This scene was pure kino though. His acting was on point.
Why did they recast Octavian? Both of them are great but the first one won me over and then disappeared so the second one just kind of sucks ass to watch even though he's a good actor.
As the other user said the show was cancelled so they were forced to do a timeskip
The first actor looked and sounded too young. Would have been strange to see him leading armies and commanding the senate.
The first actor was perfectly arrogant and uppity, he could have pulled it off. Towards the end of season 1 he was looking a bit older anyway.
It's not like everything they did was historically accurate, I think it was a dumb decision.
>user, have you penetrated anyone yet?
kek, I remember when I watched this movie with my father and asked him what did she mean by that
But that's an excerpt from an old greek satire written by Aristophanes. It's breddy funny
Sadly no.
>tfw no show set in the court of Justinian
Was he autistic?
p.a. systems
pic unrelated
This is some of the best acting I've ever seen. Ciaran Hinds is amazing.
>He was a consul or ROME!
Justinian was a literal cuck and weakened the Empire. Fuck him.
titties and red bush had me coming back
Pullo murdered Oedipus and then cucked him.
He's an ultimate alpha.
He wasn't autistic just bats-in-a-belfry irl. The guy was dark and menacing.
Shame they wasted his talent on GoT.
Because most people are literate now.
Not even to be mean but you'll honestly get better answers here.
>you'll honestly get better answers here.
Not on /his/ you won't.
You will though.
How old was he by the end of the first season?
It could be that they had a sex scene with Octavian in mind and showing him in it would be against the law. Of course, they could have jsut written it out too I guess.
>fucking slaves
absolutely equestrian
Compared to here at least? I said better not good, let alone great.
>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!')
Yes
Compared to here, without a doubt. It is Sup Forums however, so the quality is, lets say variable, but compared to the rest of this cancerous hellhole, it's very good.
>tfw no season3
life is eternal suffering
truly a shame
Me on the left
If they made season 3 now set 10 years after the final what would be happening historically?
>Ywn have the bravado and charm of Antony
why live?
>deadwood and rome had to be canceled to make way for game of fucking thrones
i fucking loved my afternoons of a mix of "THIRTEEEEEEN" and "Cocksucker sanfrancisco swearen!!"
i kind of wish they didn't start season 1 at the end of the gallic wars.
youtube.com
how caesar became...caesar.... is just as interesting as how he became a dictator
>finally watch the whole series.
No wonder you guys love it so much, half of it is spent making fun of plebs.
I also hate how rushed S2 was even if I knew the reason for it.
