Why didn't his mom and sister believe in him and support him? Why were they always putting him down?

He fucks his wife you sodomite

His wife was hot but iirc she turns into an old harpy in i claudius

max pirkis a handsome. A HANDSOME.

>we will never live in the timeline where Rome got its 5 seasons and there were spinoffs about the Punic Wars and the later Empire and even the Byzantines

Why do we bother living?

Junos cunt im son of hades Ill fuck hbo fags who canceled deadwood and rome

SHAME ON THE HOUSE OF PTOLEMY.

bump for answer to op

Atia asked Titus Pullo to get that thing taken care of. What more do you want?

...

THE WIFE OF LUCIUS VORENUS IS A WHORE

You guys checked out Rome 3000, right?

lel. wtf is that

Anyone here heard that story Ray Stephensen told about how they originally wanted to start the series?

>obviously aged Pullo kneeling beside a mausoleum with the name "Voreni" on it
>draws his sword and kills himself with it
>falls down, camera pans away to a nearby lake stream with fish jumping in and out of the water.
>the glisten of the water in the air fades away to the clash of sword on sword, going to the opening we all saw of the drunken Pullo hitting Vorenus

That shit would have been awesome.

John Carter

>junos cunt

Fuck off to your Spartacus thread

not knowing that based marcus used that all the time
KYS little faggot and suck Jupiters cock

>all the time

He literally says it once, when he attacks Octavian, other than that it's only spoken one other time, when Pullo and Octavian are torturing Evander.

Because he didn't fit the mold of a typical Roman patrician male expected to walk the cursus honoram.

Why are they giving the rock on sign

>mfw I become the richest man in the world

Is the intro music really Ancient Roman music? It sounds like what I imagine it would sound like but how do they know what Ancient Roman music sounded like? Did the Romans write sheetmusic?

Who was Best Girl, and why was it Octavia?

Just watch Spartacus

>muh historical accuracy

Based Octaviaposter

We have no real idea what Roman music sounded like. We can tell what instruments they had but that's about it. I think the earliest sheet music we have in Europe is from the Medieval era.

Ugh, literally the Emilia Clarke of Rome

>Season 1, banging body,in prime MILF fuckmeat mode,nude scenes galore
>Season 2, comes back a sloppy pig and stops doing nude scenes

I fucking hate her

Who did Pullo love more, Eirene or Vorenus?

Vorenus

Thanks for that answer user. I wish I could hear what Roman music really sounded like. ;_;

Implying this scene wasn't GOAT

Trvely the greatest pleb filter.

>Why are they giving the rock on sign

That's how you called someone a cuck in Ancient Rome. Not even exaggerating.

mirin those lats desu

lol Cato was jacked.

Is that why Vorenus's daughter did that behind her back while being nice to him? Seems like a cunt thing to do to your dad.

bump

Post based scenes

>youtube.com/watch?v=mBAQjUTZ2_c

because he didn't have the Lictors guild on his side

Proper big budget tv show should start at Gracckis Bros era or at least follow Gaivs Marivs and Svlla early days. Honest adaptation of Colleen McCoullough books would be noce.

> You will never hear someone speak latin with a 1st century roman accent

Why even bother ?

>skipping the Punic Wars
You are a true pleb. That's like doing a series about the modern era and skipping the World Wars.

CE or BCE?

This show had top tier acting. Why isn't James Purefoy in more good movies/tv shows?

SHE BLACKENS HER EYES WITH SOOT
LIKE A PROSTITUE

The last thing I saw him in was that shitty cult serial killer series on Fox. Before that he was also in that series with Eva Green that was canceled very fast. His talent has been wasted.

Why does it matter ? You won't ever hear neither

Brotherfucking before it was cool.

I'd like to think his kino acting experience was important but in my heart I know that Eton and Cambridge was all that mattered (and more the former than the latter). This country sucks.

>tfw Caesar did everything Octavian suggested (public works, 100 new senators, diverting the river, etc.)

So did he get the ideas from Octavian or did Octavian just think of things Caesar was already going to do?

He was good in Richard II although being typecast into Shakespeare is a bit odd.

He should have been a quip-master spiritual successor to Roger Moore version of James Bond.

...

>you will never be a consul or imperator of rome

Imagine all the qts you can fuck and the nice estates you could escape to and the nice greek and latin poetry to be read

>Nobody in my family sucks cock without I say so

Rome was the greatest ever combo of kino and memery in my opinion.

honestly, I have always found the Republic Period to be more comfy than the Imperial Period.

>ywn witness a roman triumph in your lifetime

me too. The Empire was degenerate

are there any movies/shows about early Roman Republic?

The Republic didn't have all that nice marble n shieet like the Empire did.

>ywn bang qt Roman chicks after a hard days work of persecuting Christians

>no show about the rape of the sabine women
>no etruscan spinoff
>no roman kingdom series

I might be a pleb, but at least i think shit trough. Punic wars would be godtier theme, but time span is too long and it would be to expensive to honest portrait it. Maybe in later seasons after the succes of my sugestion or better as prequel. Strategy my subsaharian friend often demands patience.

>implying comfiness is rated by how extravagant something is

The Second Punic War would litterally be the most kino event in roman history.

> battlefields in Italy, Spain, Africa, Sicily, Gaul
> best character development (Hannibal and Scipio and their fathers)
> best possible dialogue
> best possible scenes (Canae, siege of Carthage, Zama, etc...)
> epic tension between events
> epic ending(s)
> scenes the female brain interprets as merely background noise

Way more entertaining than Marius and fucking Sulla or the Gracchi if you think in terms of marketing strategy.

Did Augustus really used to be his wife during sex to get off?

*beat

according to all contemporary sources Augustus's marriage to Livia was the greatest example possible of a true virtuous Roman coupling of husband and wife

course all contemporary sources were privately financed by Augustus so who knows?

Jewish lies because the Jews unironically fear the Romans

Loved that scene

*fapping intensifies*

Patrician as fuck. If you don’t slap your wife around during sex, you’re a faggot.

...

who was in the wrong here?

>watching documentary
>"caesar was sensitive about his premature balding"

/ourguy/?

this is reddit

>tfw the set of Rome is a fucking restaurant now

looks pretty comfy. they should hire the newsreader to make proclamations throughout the day about the days specials

Im honestly impressed its still there. I'd have thought HBO would have bulldozed it while he last actor was still leaving.

Its a bit obscure but I'd love to see a Blakes 7 reboot with James Purefoy as Avon.

Its the only show or film I've ever liked that genuinely needed rebooting, unfortunately the production values of the original make it genuinely a problem to watch even while trying to overlook its flaws. It suffers particularly when watched sequentially as, crap though it was, they were dependent on reusing the same sfx shots which mightn't have been a problem weeks apart but is a huge problem 40 minutes apart.

Absent a time machine, he's the only man for the job and it would be a great role for him.

Slight correction—it's not a restaurant but is rented out by the movie studio for catered events.

Vaporwave edition.

Why were the women of the Voreni clan such cunts?

I wouldn't mind the casting change if young Octavian and older Octavian weren't so jarringly different in personality and mannerisms and attitude and speech. The two have essentially nothing in common, and it's like I can't subconsciously reconcile them into being the same character.

It's so non-fluid that It seems less like the deliberate age-up that it was and more like an unexpected last minute change. That's probably just the fault of rushed development though.

>we'll never experience the alternate universe where all 5 seasons aired and starred the younger actor

>''Bring me whores and cocaine''
Marcus Antonius
youtube.com/watch?v=cU8HrO7XuiE

First time I saw the actor I didn't connect that it was Octavian, confused the hell out of me.

>same universe the shitshow that is GoT never got made and instead we got a tv series based in ancient greece
why live in this shit reality

Damn, the direct descendant of the goddess Venus looks like THAT?

He completely quit acting, and went to read Theology at Cambridge. So he probably wouldn't have stuck around anyway.

Stop. Let's keep pretending that season 3 never happened.

fuck this timeline SUCKS

No, it was stupid error in casting which led to an even stupider attempt to fix it.

It’s not bad casting, old Octavian played his part very well, it was just an absurdly quick switch and for some reason Octavian was the only person who looked different going into S2

>premature balding
When are you supposed to go bald? Is there such a thing as going bald too late in life?

Look up what "premature" means.

>occurring too soon
My question stands.
