Why not Marcus Antonius? Not even Gnaeus Pompey Magnus got his name fucked over.
Why not go all the all and name him like Jason González or Billy Campbell, or something?

It's actually Antony, not Anthony you illiterate american
>tfw the writers insert every Latin derivate word they can think of in the English dialogue
I loved this show
Because Shakespeare.
Wish the show would have continued. Having it end with Emperor Nero watching Rome burn would have been great.
>GAIUS OCTAVIAN
>And then there is... MARK ANTHONY
Pretty sure "Octavian" was actually called Octavius as a boy and later Octavianus. Octavian is just anglo nonsense like Mark Antony.
Shakespearean convention.
I wonder how the Senate in Caesar's day would have reacted to the revelation that savages would one day rule Rome and that the Empire would live in history as a monument to corruption and hedonism.
They literally debate this in the second episode, please watch the programme before contributing to this thread Sup Forumstard
Been watching. Kinda got stuck on Octavian's recast in the second season and might have forgotten. I'll go rewatch that episode.

Best show ever, downloaded Ryse: Son of Rome on xbox one yesterday and have been playing this doing role play as Lucius Vorenus
>In the name of the Roman Senate of the Republic, you're under arrest, General.
>Are you threatening me, Consul Cato?
>The senate will decide your fate.
[now speaking as Darth Gaius]
>I AM the senate!
>Not yet.
>[General Julius Caesar/Darth Gaius rises slowly, and his Gladius snaps to his hand from his sleeve]
>It's perduelli, then...
[wields his Gladius and leaps over his desk to attack]
>AAAAAAAAUURRGHHHHHHHRHHHRHR
>[has Darth Gaius subdued] I'm going to put an end to this, once and for all!
>You can't. He must stand before the Twelve Tables in the Forum Romanum.
>No, Brutus! He has control of the senate and all the courts. He is too dangerous to be left alive!
>[exhausted and disfigured] But, I'm too weak. Don't kill me.
>That's not the Roman way. He must live.
[Cato and Pompey ignore Marcus Junius Brutus, still intending to kill General Caesar]
> I need him!
>[Pompey raises his Pugio]
>NO!
[Brutus draws his own Gladius, cutting off Pompey's arm, then General Caesar impales Cato]
>Powers! Dictatorial powers!
>[to Brutus] Once more, the SPQR will rule Europa. And... we shall... have... Pax Romana...
We need another Roman based series. WOuld love to see one based on the punic wars.
True Roman bread for true Romans.
>Read books about Caesars life
>Does tons of shit from a young age
>All his elders growing up are badass
I wonder if a show about all his life could be done well. Rome made him seem too old and Spartacus made him look like a raging homo with no discipline.
In Poland:
>Lucjusz Worenus
>Tytus Pullon
>Juliusz Cezar
>Marek Juniusz Brutus
>Gajusz Oktawian

He was called Marcus Antonius, most masculine nouns and names in latin end in 'us'

>ALSO BY ORDER OF THE TRIUMVIRATE, ALL MOCKERY OF JEWS AND THEIR ONE GOD SHALL BE KEPT TO AN APPROPRIATE MINIMUM
I feel like this sort of edict could really help race relations in America. Mockery of people different from you should be kept to an appropriate minimum.
I can't find good torrents of this show anymore, by jupiter
It's by jupiter's black stone you fucking faggot.
>mock black people by the absolute minimum possible
>niggers still chimp out anyway
It's appropriate minimum not absolute minimum.
I thought that was just when you were the patriarch of a family. Lucius being called "Vorenus" because he leads the Vorenii, for example. Brutus being called "Junius" because he leads the Junii.
>tfw my first name is Gaius
'ii' is just a plural second declension for masculine nouns, Vorenii would mean the same as 'the Vorenuses' in english
>plebeius
>plebeii

Ah. It's fascinating, anyway. I would say I'd like to time travel back to Rome during Caesar's rise, but I don't speak fluent latin and English is a bastardized combination of languages. I'd probably offend someone and get turned into a kebab.
BANUS?

Yes he did, it was Pompeius originally.

Most romans spoke greek though, latin was actually very rare and was mostly used for written texts
Then I'd be even more fucked, because I don't know a word of Greek. Imagine the brick they'd shit if I told them about the Internet, though.
I read a fanfic once wherein Octavian's mind got transported in his sleep to Westeros and his consciousness replaced Joffrey's. What would happen to Rome under Joffrey's leadership?
Please disconnect your keyboard from your computer.
No they didn't, unless you're talking about the ERE in the centuries it survived after the fall of the west
He was called 'Pompey' as a nickname so it's not exactly inaccurate.
this is a troll but there is an element of truth. People in the east of the empire spoke Greek more often than Latin and throughout the early Byzantine era knowledge of Latin steadily declined, to the point where Greek eventually became the official language of the state
A quick coup would end !Jofftavians reign pretty fast. Joffrey is just too incompetent for roman politics.
This is the dumbest shit I have ever heard. Explain why the Romance languages didn't evolve from vulgar Greek if the Romans spoke Greek more than Latin
It'd be even shorter if Mark Antony was in the city when the change happened.
Greek was the language of the roman elite, like Caesar. Depending on your sources his last words were actually in greek.
Because people more readily recognise him by his anglicised name.

This.
I remember learning about it when I read Commentarii de Bello Gallico in its original Greek form during my Ancient Greek class
What about the reverse? Would Octavian do as well in Westerosi politics as Joffrey would poorly in Roman politics?
WE WUZ ROMANS N SHIET
Probably not because the people around him don't behave rationally.
Fair point. Baelish would likely have him poisoned once he figured out Joffrey was no longer an idiot.
t. Redde Creditori
Probably slowly changed by the various stories and plays of antony and cleopatra
Id be willing to bet it was more like marcus antonius or something or even marc antoni. Rome was full of mongrels.
what's with all this octavius augustus shit?
>literally thousands of letters and speeches written by the upper classes of Rome are available online

Really makes you think

Surviving body of greek literature and texts is magnitudes larger than roman latin, senpai.

Piss-poor history though.
who the hell names their kid `June' anyway?

Are you implying that I'm a carrier for a number of potentially deadly pathogens that a civilization a few centuries behind us in medicine wouldn't be able to counter?
Funny thing is he felt like a loser early in his life because he compared what he had done to what Alexander the Great had done at the same age.
Fuck, that's a high standard to live up to. The man certainly didn't think small, did he?

disgusting
The Roman Empire got the leadership it deserved in the end.
Fucking kek
Is flattering. You are either conquered by romans, then you are a roman, or you conquer rome, and you become a roman.
even turks have civil law and latin alphabet by now (yes I know the latin alphabet is recent).
Then you have other Rome like Kiev and Moscow. You have the eagle sign all over the place in the west, often two-headed. Heck, even america has an eagle as a sign. Shame for the common law I guess :P
Languages written with such alphabet with a good deal (beyond 50%, even more with spanish) of latin vocabulary are spoken in the americas.
I wish I could say that to the last romans, when they were witnessing their last days afraid their legacy would be lost.
I think the empire had a few Joffreys like Commodus and Caligula
Caligula is the closest fit, I think. That one was fucking insane.
The "Rome" sets burned down, and they had spent so much money on it they opted to end it on season 2. Was really disappointed it wasn't able to keep going for longer.
I think pretty much every Roman leader worshipped Alexander.
Should I watch this or will it just make me sad that it never got a 2nd season
I did some stories about pullo and vorenus in high school when i took Latin this show any good or not
>He is accused of sleeping with other men's wives and bragging about it,[99] killing for mere amusement,[100] deliberately wasting money on his bridge, causing starvation,[101] and wanting a statue of himself erected in the Temple of Jerusalem for his worship.[95] Once, at some games at which he was presiding, he ordered his guards to throw an entire section of the audience into the arena during the intermission to be eaten by the wild beasts because there were no prisoners to be used and he was bored.
absolute madman

Man, I forgot about that game, it was pretty fun. I got it with my xbox one bundle like 3 years ago but I sold it. Kinda regret it now but it didn't have a lot of replay value so it made sense at the time
Mr Pompey, I'm Centurion Vorenus
The Roman Empire was one of the worst things that happened to the planet. It's such a good thing it fell.
>tfw no such thing today
Where are you from? Are you romanized or are you a full xeno?
