HE REFUSES TO MEEM OT SESUFER EH

He looks like richard dawson

Actually, that's famous actor Ciarán Hinds, not "Richard Dawson".

If he is a Roman then show me his birth certificate

TRUE ROMAN ROMANS FOR TRUE ROMANS

Such a great scene. I hope we get more shows like these ones featuring Mediterranean states like Rome or Byzantium. Tired of all the vikingshit.

I was disappointment he didn't chop the kid's head off when Cleopatra took power.

MY WIFE'S SON IS 100% ROMAN

We hear your hopes and we'll deliver! One generic capeshit coming right up!

>Tired of all the vikingshit.
Is there anything that represents them as the annoying cunts they really were? The ones who possibly destroyed countless works of classical writing and art.

>he would have let her live if she didnt self sudoku
C U C K

Civilization is expensive. Barbarians with boats aren't.

Are there any Byzantium shows tho? Movies?

...

I don't remember the Eastern Roman Empire employing James Bond.

To heck with the romans, ottomans are the best

*steps on you*

EE WAS A WOEMAN FWOM WOME

HE WAS A CONSOLE XBONE

Why is it that in EVERY Rome thread, ignorant plebeian Sup Forums users make stupid meme posts like the beasts of the field they are whilst patrician /his/ veterans effortlessly make series of excellent posts? Also, why are the /his/posts just ignored by Sup Forums? This really gores my gaiuses.

>Byzantium
When will this meme end? Byzantium was a fucking shit empire.

IS THERE SOME OTHER FORM OF LAW YOU WRETCHED WOMAN

WTF no he was about to kill her

I was sure he did. I seem to remember there being a scene showing the kids head on a spike.

EE WEFUSES TO MEEM ME

Nigger, it lasted longer than most empires, including Rome.

He was just considering it, Dis Pater.

dogecuck spotted

Nah, the kid ended up dead in a river or something like that. There was a guy that had a similar haircut that got put on a spike though.

That rings a bell. You might be right. Been awhile. I need to watch this again, which I do probably about once a year.

They all look like reptilians in disguise

This. Yesterdays Roman/meme crossover thread was magnificent but it just died down.

I wanted to participate in that one but I was asked to work late. FUCK

They're pretty annoying in The Last Kingdom, but these shows mostly appeal to the we wuz vikings crowd, and as far as they're concerned, Danes were noble warriors.

the long version

My dentist kept rambling on about vikings during my last cleaning and I almost could not contain my rage.

Okay

So

A new Rome series.

It's a prequel.

The second and third Punic Wars.

How good would it be?

No, he said himself that he would've killed her, and she only killed herself so it wouldn't be him that killed her.

He might not have, you never know, men always boast and he was hesitant

Nah, he was building himself up to do it.

Remember? The only reason he didn't choke his oldest daughter to death was because Pullo was there to stop him.

Pretty good. Except it would be produced by BBC and pic related would be cast as Gaius.

You killed mother!
You banished us to hades!
You turned me into a fucking whore!
And you ask WHY?

real fuckin neato if the same crew was behind it
it's been 10 years, theres no better time

>Punic Wars would be "baby-burning Carthaginians dindu nuffin" anti-Roman propaganda

AND WELSOME
TO STREAME

There's little evidence of supporting his ethnicity at all. We literally don't know. Personally I'd imagine he was closer to Berber than anything else.

MARK ANTONY HAS COUPLED HIMSELF TO THE SORCERESS CLEOPATRA, PROMISING HER DOMINION OF ALL ROME!
HE WORSHIPS DOGS AND REPTILES.
HE BLACKENS HIS EYES WITH SOOT LIKE A PROSTITUTE.
HE DANCES AND PLAYS THE CYMBALS IN VILE NILOTIC RITES.

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Emperor Augustus the Wise?

>No.

It's not a story the Senate would tell you. It's a Roman legend. Augustus was an Emperor of Rome so powerful and so wise, that he could use politics to influence the plebeians to create...monarchy. He had such a knowledge of the republic, he could even keep the political state he cared about from death.

>He could actually...save civilisations from death?

The Imperial style of government is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

>What happened to him?

Unfortunately...he taught his wife everything he knew, then his wife killed him with figs.
Ironic, isn't it? He could save Rome from death. But not himself.

The Carthaginians were a Semitic people, descended from the Phoenicians of Tyre. If anything, Hannibal would have looked like a Jew or an Arab.

On top of that the Berbers were known to Carthage as a distinct people in their own right.

>The Roman Empire lasted longer than the Roman Empire

Are you retarded?

>stuffing his face with olives
>not banging his head on a wall.

It's over, Maxentius
I have the high ground

Guess it's about time for another rewatch.

...

This is Hannibal's father Hamilcar. From this we can assume he looked like a Roman did, slightly swarthier

Not without having to mutate itself into something that wasn't even Roman except in name. Byzantium didn't thrive, it clung.

This.

It would be amazing if it's doen right, however we all know what (((they))) will do.

Literally pleb-tier knowledge of Byzantine history. It's unique primarily because it had so many peaks and troughs over such a long time, not a long stagnation as you make out.The borders of the empire were in constant flux. It didn't begin to undergo terminal decline until the late 12th century.

The ERE was the strongest Empire well until the 11th century, and even then during the Komnenos restoration they briefly became extremely strong again.

Considering they survived numerous Persian, Arab, Turk, Bulgar, Hungarian, Hunnic and whatever else invasions, I think they did pretty well. They weren't exactly Roman, but they were the continuation of the Roman Empire in every way.

What's with the bulge over his eyes? Looks weird as shit.

he did. it showed him and his attendand caesar called a wretched woman's heads on spikes outside the palace walls

It's called a brow.

>Marco Polo
>The Last Kingdom
I started watching these hoping to get more of Rome, or maybe Spartacus.
Both are set in eras with huge potential for interesting stories and characters, but both are shit. I can't even put my finger on what exactly is lacking, but they're just tedious as fuck. At least Marco Polo have good fight scenes.

Rome fucking SHITS on EVERYTHING.
Vikings have interesting edgelord characters.

Marco Polo has been canceled. There will be no resolution to the cliffhanger you've been given at the end of season 2.

There just isn't many shows that are Rome and Spartacus tier. You'd probably like Black Sails and The Tudors though.

He has a wife, you know

Why put Rome and Spartacus on the same sentence? I love Rome and have watched it multiple times but haven't been able to finish the first episode of Spartacus despite trying several times. It's shit.

In another universe, Rome got a sequel set during the reign of Justinain with James Purefoy as Justinian and Ciarán Hinds as Belisarius

Please just be lying. I want to see how that was going to go.

YOU STAND FUCKING ROMAN

>Rome and Spartacus tier.
kill yourself faggot

>Rome and Spartacus tier.
Rome was given to us by Jupitar Capitalinus. Spartacus is just expensive gay porn with meme dialog

Spartacus is just a completely different type of show. I had the same reaction at first, but a few episodes in you realize that it doesn't take itself very seriously and you start to just go with the flow. Then it becomes good.

Fucking nobody claims that Spartacus is literally comparable to Rome, obviously.

HE WAS A CONSOLE OF JAPAN

Last Kingdom is growing on me.

Everyone who loves Spartacus agrees the first episode is shit and the show doesn't find its footing until a few episodes in.

I can always spot the literal beta cucks because they shit talk Spartacus. Spartacus is a show for alpha males so I don't expect you to understand.

...

meh would rather watch a mini-series about Carausius' rebellion or the wars with Parthia.

Not even close pleb

>TWOO WOEMAN BWEAD, FOR TWOO WOEMANS!

Enjoy your literal gay sex, sweaty shirtless men, and fucking Africans shoe horned into history.

Mr. Alpha.

Are you wearing a Big Dog shirt right now?

know any good podcast about history of rome and shit? i like some background noise when i work out, might as well learn something

nice try but check these dubs out

>gay sex
Every show made after 2010 has some type of gay storyline.
>sweaty shirtless men
It's a show about Gladiators
>Africans
Roman interests extended to North Africa

Too bad everyone in this show only had shit roles afterwards, especially Hinds and Purefroy

History of Rome podcast starts slow but is incredible
