Rome General

Did Antony truly love Atia?

Atia and Antony were both so jaded that they weren't capable of understanding the concept of love.

Atia did get really upset when Antony wouldn't even come out to see her in Alexandria.

Slapping Vorenus and all that.

Never really thought of it this way before, but is it not having Antony anymore, or is it being inferior to another woman, so to speak? I mean, I guess it's both

He loved Ceasar, Attia was just a political maneuver.

STAND AT FUCKING ATTENTION WHEN I TALK TO YOU

She was pretty unhappy to hear about Antlny being dead.


Antony was probably my favorite character after Julius Caesar. Although I liked all the main ones as well. That scene where he saw Caesar dead and slowly backed out of the building was very striking to me for some reason.

I was just re-watching the series on my computer with headphones instead of on tv.

The creaking of leather is constant.

A subtlety that was lost during previous viewings.

No he was a cuck

where is my vorenus and pullo mercenary spinoff story

What is this thing they hold above their heads sometimes? I tried looking it up but didn't even know how to word it. It's not a crown because he's already wearing the golden wreathe.

Doesn't mean it's love. She slapped him because he threatened to send his guards to forcefully remove her if she didn't leave and that she likely knew that he was lying when he said that he got his orders to remove her from Antony and not Cleopatra. Also, it's because it happened with his bride and mother of his child being there with her, and the fact that it probably took them ~20 days in traveling to get to Alexandria from Rome, with most of it being on a dingy smelly ship with nothing to do and costing a fair amount of money. It's possible she was just acting like a cunt because she realized for a change that she was powerless and just been made into a bitch.

This is a thread for adults little fella

This board is for neckbeard faggots, reddit.

It's a set of laurels.

It's the Roman equivilent of medals, you won them for military success.

One is the laurel crown for his victory over the Gauls and the other is the civic crown for his victory in ending the civil war by defeating Pompeii.

She was humiliated

Who has the Atia webm's?

Vorenus was a true G

on rewatching this episode, why did was there a lingering shot of the cup danging on the end of the chain?

Did Pullo ever bang Octavians mom?

Nah, he impregnated Cleopatra though which is pretty based.

>34 years old and still single

Why didnt you save her?

>Next time, best not use veterans

That and he slapped her around when they broke up.

wew. i'm actually struggling to think of a woman who DOESNT fuck everything up in this show besides Pullo's ex-slave wife

Cucked slaves and old women. And her brother. Why would i want to save her?

>be agrippa
>grow up in unimportant, nothing family
>work your way up the ranks
>be right hand man to autistic leader Octavion
>meet his qt3.14159265359 sister and instantly fall in love
>pal around with autistic leader for another few years, miserable as fuck
>return to Rome
>save Octavia from depression and degenracy
>finally get what I want
>Octavia ends up getting taken by Chad Motherfucker Thundercock Marc Anthony
>still see her
>Sir Autismo decides to end your relationship and send Chad away
>now it's my turn
>forgives you, but forbids you from seeing her
>decide not to fuck up everything my poor ass worked for
>Octavia calls me a coward and ends things
>stuck with Octavion forever
Being Agrippa is suffering

The real Agrippa got to marry one of Augustus' autistic daughters.

I picture a Roman version of Rooney Mara.

AAAAAAAAAAARRGHH HELP ME MARK ANTONY

Real talk though Cato was a ride or die nigga

>cucked slaves

its been awhile since ive seen the show. i know she slept with servilia and octavian.

who the fuck is the slave?

Best Roman coming through.

If you haven't read Cicero then you don't know shit about the Romans.

Her friend Jocasta talked about fucking her father's big dicked slaves

In the beginning i thought Cicero was typical cowardly swedish rat beta backstabbing aristocrat, but later i came to realize he was an honorable man.

He was brave at death as well.

He shouldnt have been that much of a pussy though

>yfw he played hitler

De Officiis is an incredible book.

PEACHES

Yeah Pullo should have been more respectful to cicero but he was a pleb after all.

PTSD

Overall it was pretty respectful, though. Pullo gave Cicero time and even tried to make it as easy as possible

I don't think so.

Our idea of love was mocked and despised in ancient Rome, by the way, especially between the patrician class.

...

In my opinion the writers shouldn't have killed Pullo's wife. His ending would have been happier with her instead of him with Caesarion; whom in reality Augustus killed.

Is there another show that portrayed wincest better than this? No really I really want to know. It's my big fetish.

Bates Motel? Though that's mother-son, so I don't know if you'd be into that.

Don't be a goose. Come in.

I dont think 'love' as we think of it in 2017 meant the same thing at all in BC

As long as its not Father-Daughter I am into it. But Mother-Son doesn't get me as much as Brother-Sister. Fuck I'll bate to Father-Daughter too but it's not on the levl of regular porn than muh fetish.

if i liked Rome will I like Spartacus?

>cowardly swedish rat beta backstabbing aristocrat
you ware right the first time

whether or not you like Spartacus depends entirely upon whether or not you're from America.

Terms? Of surrender? Fucking slave talk.

i am from america?

Nah, he was a bitch ass optimate. Literally the lindsey graham of BC.

Would've been an infinitely better show if every Atia scene was a Cleopatra scene instead

how does it feel to be a beastly pleb?

...

Lindsay Graham is a philosopher and historian?

I just thought he was a kid fucking globalist toolbag.

Show Cicero has the same mannerisms. IRL Cicero was pretty impressive but still wrong.

Finished the show yesterday.

Really wish it was overall a different show. I felt it lacked focus. It should have been a show about the major historical figures with Vorenus and Pullo occasionally giving commentary, or a show focused on Vorenus and Pullo as they live through major events in ancient Rome. I couldn't care any less about Vorenus' death at the end, or about Pullo's son. The only scene that really got me with those two was when Vorenus asked Pullo what's between him and the slave and he said something like, "I don't know, she just makes me feel good."

I, Claudius > Spartacus > Rome

If you're a fan of the general setting, then you should most definitely enjoy Spartacus.

Spartacus had an awesome cast of characters.

>waste one season on fictional stronk womyn
>whoops we're cancelled, lol Cleo is a crazy slut, thanks for watching HBO

>take your hand off me
>[autistic grabbing]

>being such a fucking weeaboo that you paint the japanese flag on your face
What was wrong with Caesar? Was it autism?

>I couldn't care any less about Vorenus' death at the end

You have awful taste. Vorenus' death is symbolic, dying during Octavian's triumph and the end of the republic.

>Cicero was wrong! What the Romans really needed was a bunch of inbred psychotics to run the Empire into the ground to achieve true greatness!

Early Imperial Rome was indisputably the greatest pre-industrial civilization.

yeah because three generations of civil wars and shared power was working out so great

until Caracalla awarded universal citizenship to barbarians and it all went to shit

I think it was to show that this was a poorer area with all the gangsters hence the communal cup.
