You fucking plebs, anser

Yes and i havent seen spartacus

never watched spartacus but rome season 1 was an ok political backstabbing drama while season 2 was we ghetto roman thugs boyz

>Moyes

They're not even comparable, Rome was a realistic and well written drama. Spartacus was just a cheap softcore porn soap opera

season one was amazing, two was meh but worth watching

Probably one of the top 3 tv shows of all time. I'm glad it got made at all, even if it did last just two seasons. Sometimes I dream about writing a "sequel" of sorts about other periods of roman history (the Punic Wars or the wars of Marius and Sulla) but I don't have enough knowledge to do it and I doubt people would be interested. ;_;

Rome = brain turned on
Spartacus = brain turned off

Both are entertaining nonetheless

>Is it better than Spartacus?

Rome and Spartacus aren't even in the same league. Spartacus is a porno quality edge fiesta, while Rome was a well written TV show for those with particularly patrician sensibilities

>All mockery of Jews and their one God shall be kept too an appropriate minimum
Woah, really makes you think.

>Is it better
Yes. I suggest you vacate these premises immediately.

really does

>I FVCK CONCORDE IN HER ARSE

What did he mean by that?

Batiatus alone BTFO's Rome

>historical show about Rome
>non Romans are dressed as cartoon characters

I want to feast on Atia's ass

I watched them both. Spartacus has better women and is way more raunchy and action-packed. it is more of a "turn you brain off and enjoy it" with a few interesting characters (namely Batiatus,Crixus and Spartacus and Oenameus and Varro). Rome is a more intelligent show and needs focus to enjoy and understand, its production value and the acting outclasses Spartacus in every way. Rome has a way of making the watcher invest emotionally in pretty much every character and is an intelligent dialogue-heavy show with cool references and subtle backstories

Final Verdict: Rome is kino. Spartacus is an enjoyable flick

wtf i love cicero now

based cicero

Rome was GREAT but beware the thread as I got spoiled hard at the big twist at the end of season 1

>they are a nation of rascals and deceivers
what did he mean?

yeah but spartacus is still decent
personally i enjoyed the first two seasons a lot more since it's centered around the arena and ludus rather than spartacus' campaign which felt a lot more cut and dry

Yeah, I've read that gaulic armors reminded more of the ancient greek breastplates, than any rugged leather barbarian gear. Often they had better ironwork than romans

He's warning the people jews can be shitters and liars

far better than spartacus

their best gear was the same as romans, they just weren't uniformed

>HBO's Rome? Is it better than Spartacus?
Rome if you prefer historical accuracy in combat and politics or Spartacis if you are a dudebro that needs over the top action and gratuitous sex scenes to keep the almonds rubbing.

The people that continued watching Spartacus after the first fight scene are whats wrong with TV and movies.

Just look at this tripe.

I want milky and I want Face sitting time

>tfw Cicero was actually the true defender of rome, while Caesar wanted non-Romans such as Gauls and Celts in the Senate and to be roman citizens, Mark antony wanted shitskins to rule over Rome, and Augustus made judaism an offically state-protected religion
>tfw Cicero was the good guy all along, and the Caesareans were the Populist Leftist scum of their day

No wonder ((HBO)) made sure to portray Cicero as evil

All of this desu senpai

>Make him a Woman
what show/doc is that off I always thought It was off Rome

(((Kikero)))

>be amerifat
>get upset about fucking ancient rome
must suck to not have your own history lmao

Fuckin' A, it is. You really need people to tell you that?

you obviously know nothing about roman history if you think caesar wanted to make gauls (who are celts, retard) senators. the show isn't always historically accurate.

>you obviously know nothing about roman history if you think caesar wanted to make gauls
he LITERALLY made some Gauls senators because he wanted them to be in his debt and use them against the Optimates if necessary

OH, haha, I just realized OP was talking about that dumb "blood and sand" show, not the 1960 movie Spartacus. Jesus Christ OP, if you think the TV show Spartacus was anywhere close to HBO's Rome you got serious fucking problems in the head.
