I veto the motion.

My pasta is going to be posted soon. It had better not be the shitty altered version.

Did the senate have any power at all under the Emperors?

The word emperor can be exchanged with king. The senators were more of advisors during the empire than their original purpose of upholding the republic.

ask Octavian, he'll figure something out

No, as proven by these numerical omens

It's over Caesar, i have the high ground!

>mfw I bribed this guy in Rome Total War to fuck off and join my faction and he did

I only used him to fight the Gauls too, now he's just a lazy Governor.

so, you jewed your way out of one of the greatest military feats ever achieved?

youtube.com/watch?v=SU1Ej9Yqt68

Yes. They still had exclusive rights to governorships of certain wealthy provinces such as Asia, Africa etc.

Why Caesar had his face painted like a japanese flag? I thought he was roman...

When I was a newfag, I defended our board. As an oldfag, I shall not abandon it. I give sincere thanks to OP, who has presented me with the most promising meme imaginable. I address you directly, OP. Please listen as if you were normal and intelligent, and not an autistic, porn-addled wreck/ You are certainly not without accomplishments. It is a rare man who can boast of becoming a NEET before even coming of age. You have brought upon us Reddit, 9GAG, and cancer. You are Sup Forums's Daenerys Targaryen. But then a hamplanet's role has always suited you best.

He's being racially insensitive to Native Americans.

>The other practices of the Jews are sinister and revolting, and have entrenched themselves by their very wickedness. Wretches of the most abandoned kind who had no use for the religion of their fathers took to contributing dues and free-will offerings to swell the Jewish exchequer; and other reasons for their increasing wealth way be found in their stubborn loyalty and ready benevolence towards brother Jews. But the rest of the world they confront with the hatred reserved for enemies. They will not feed or intermarry with gentiles. Though a most lascivious people, the Jews avoid sexual intercourse with women of alien race. Among themselves nothing is barred. They have introduced the practice of circumcision to show that they are different from others. Proselytes to Jewry adopt the same practices, and the very first lesson they learn is to despise the gods, shed all feelings of patriotism, and consider parents, children and brothers as readily expendable. However, the Jews see to it that their numbers increase. It is a deadly sin to kill an unwanted child,note and they think that eternal life is granted to those who die in battle or execution

THE WIFE OF LUCIUS VORENUS IS A WHORE

still makes me mad that the show got cancelled and the pacing of season 2 was all over the shop

I'm still mad about how bad this game is

why didn't they just remake the original with better graphics and AI, I do not know, they had the perfect game and they threw it away

That's Attila, shitlord. The remake of fucking Barbarian Invasion.
>tfw no late roman empire kino

its attila and not rome 2 if that helps senpai

my mistake
haven't played atilla? is it good?

main reason i disliked barbarian invasion is it didn't really have the same troop diversity as rome
same for alexander

I'd say that unit diversity in Attila is pretty good, Germanic factions aside
There is some pretty bad power creep with the White Huns and Empires of Sand, however.

its the best historical total war to date thats for sure

cool
I shall give it a go

I always felt so bad for Octavia. Agrippa was a spineless coward.

I was so constantly aware the adult Octavian was a fag, worst casting in the show.

Don't talk shit about Niobe like that! No bully.

my father's COCK

...

Gaius Julius Caesar was too good for this world...

historically, none of the slutty behavior she and Atia do in the show actually happened. Why do ((they)) insist even now, thousands of years later, to portray Romans as degenerate? Do ((they)) ever forget a grudge?

how did the simpsons get away with this one

do you think scribes would have the stones to immortalize nobility slutting around like plebs?

You wtll come upon a great awakining as you walk the vision quest of masculinity. Ask out 100 girls by the end of the year. If no dates occur.. kill thy self.

>believing ((HBO)) and not believing their actual contemporaries

Of course they would, if anything the gossip was more spicy back then. Even with all the enemies their House had, theres literally no historical record or propaganda saying anything about them being sluts, and Marc Antony and Octavian slandered each other to the extreme

I AM the senate!

He's showing his support for Chief Wahoo

Reminder that he could have told Vorreinus the truth about his children but chose to torment the cuck over the chance to get away

Lucius made the right call killing him, look what letting Memio live earned Pullo.

The fuck? When was this scene?

>Asia
>Africa
>Wealthy

Dr. Windu, I'm Senate

>Did the senate have any power at all under the Emperors?

Yes actually, the imperial senate under Nero had him arrested.

Alesia was pure fucking insanity

I thought he did it to avoid torture.

you can see how the writers took inspiration from raimi

Depends on the time period. Tiberius was exasperated by the Senate's cowardice and unwillingness to take any responsibility or power.

On the other hand at other times like with the Antonine dynasty they served as a cooperative advisory council, and later in the 3rd century acted with much more overt power as they appointed dozens of Emperors, many of whom came from among their own ranks. Of course most of these had short and bloody reigns, and the end of the 3rd century crisis resulted in the triumph of the equestrian military order with Diocletian and his successors, which pretty much put a final end to the power of the senate.

>I don't know anything about Roman history: the post

The provinces of Africa and Asia were two of the richest, most urbanised and culturally dominant parts of the Roman Empire. The loss of Africa was the biggest reason the Roman Empire fell in the west.

>wh*te barbarians playing roman manlets
HE IS A FUCKING GAUL LMAO

I thought you just shitposted on /his/ and Sup Forums, Turk. Please leave.

...

No he wasn't. He had male and female lovers, like nearly every Roman of the time.

He warned us about the G*rms

"Africa" means Egypt. No one gave a fuck about the North African coast, not since Carthago delenda est'd.

In real life retard, the actor is a fag. I could tell just by how he acted.

>there will never be a good Ancient Rome video game

The first Rome Total War was solid.

The Loss of egypt meant loss of food and gold. Which caused problems in other parts of Roman empire.

>he never played Colosseum: Road to Freedom

yeah now put up the chart where it shows the german achievements for humanity, like the car and the pc

Where would you lads live?

I would have traveled west to iberia. Fuck living near turkroaches.

>"The Gauls...the Parthians...the Germanics...It's our responsibility to civilize them. And if we can't? Then they shall be nailed to the elm crucifix. The Day of the Cross is near, Brutus. We'll have every Judean in this Republic dead or in chains in the next 10 years, and may Jupiter Optimus Maximus have me stabbed to death by 60 senators this very morning if I'm wrong. May the Gods bless the Senate and People of Rome."

What did he mean by this?

Pontus is pretty based. You get all the comforts of Rome with all the decadence of the Greek east.

>Hasn't played Shadow of Rome

DLETE THI

I would've lived in southern Gaul, comfy villa with a vineyard and lots of PLIANT VIRGIN slaves. :^)

>Africa means Egypt

Wrong. See pic related. Africa was a senatorial province. Egypt was a unique province because it was controlled by an equestrian appointed by the emperor. Every other province was controlled by a person of senatorial rank either appointed by the emperor or by the senate directly in the case of Africa, Asia and a few others.

>No one gave a fuck about the North African coast

Also wrong. It was one of the most important provinces in the empire for its exorbitant wealth which was important for tax collection and its massive grain supply, which alongside Egypt allowed the city of Rome to become the biggest city in the world by a factor of 10.

>not since Carthago delenda est'd.

Carthage was just one city. The Romans refouned it, and it became one of the most important and largest cities in the empire and one of the main centres for early Christianity.

>turkroaches
>antiquity

Are you retarded? The Turks turned up a thousand years later.

Ephesus.

>salted the earth, destroyed the port
>refounded
Yeah, okay, you're an idiot. Stay away from /his/.

You're acting as if turkmen like people haven't always lived in old persian empire. They might not have went by name turks but there is very little difference between them and sattaraps and all other little brownies waiting to cut our throats. besides assyrians/hittites, being a lighter shade of brown my friend, these groups have been more or less kicking around in the area for a long time under different names.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Carthage

>After the destruction of Punic Carthage in 146 BC, a new city of Carthage (Latin Carthāgō) was built on the same land. By the 3rd century, Carthage developed into one of the largest cities of the Roman Empire, with a population of several hundred thousand. It was the center of the Roman province of Africa, which was a major "breadbasket" of the empire

Your surface level knowledge of Roman history is laughable. Don't cite /his/. Idiots like you are why the board is so shitty.

>these groups have been more or less kicking around in the area for a long time under different names.

Turkic peoples lived 2,000 miles from what is now Turkey in Antiquity.

>You're acting as if turkmen like people haven't always lived in old persian empire

There were barbarian tribes and stuff, sure. The Isaurians are a good example of the kind of group you're talking about. They were the exception though, not the rule. Anatolia was wealthy as fuck. Spain was a backwards shitheap by comparison away from Baetica on the southern coast.

True but if I had to choose a place for my bloodline to grow, it would be in a place that went early empire and did fairly well for itself, and survived Muslim influence. And it survived fascism/communism. I'm swiss in origin but I think living in a place that has nice beaches would be a nice boon.

Wealth wasn't really the factor on my mind. I had family was considered nobility or married into it at one point but that shit is pretty ephemeral by time you get to modern age so, what is wealth worth to the dying man.

Why did HBO feel the need to make Atia a slut and create that incest scene between Octavian and his sister despite the historical record suggesting nothing of the sort? Is that just a HBO trademark at this point?

Because the Jews fear the Romans. Unironically

>Three legions, six cohorts, three units of elite cavalry
>Btfo by some barbarians with sticks and rocks

How will Rome ever recover?

Ever heard of Rome: Total War, you dumb fucktard?

QUINTILI VARE LEGIONES REDDE!

REEEEEEEEEEEE

w-we didn't want those useless, gloomy forests anyway, baka

>Led into an ambush by a turncoat general
>act as if that is a stain upon them.

In the end they still lost the war.
