GAUL you have to go back

GO BACK TO GAUL GINGER KNOB

ROME IS FOR ROMANS

Romam denuo magnam facite

Romanes eunt domus

I declare this a true Roman bread for true Romans.

GO BACK TO GAUL AND TAKE YOUR WIFE'S SON WITH YOU

...

when can never get the old cast

but can we hope for a Rome set in Marcus Aurelius', Trajan's, Aurelian's or Constantine's period?

wait wtf why are they white

>romans
>obese
why there is so much fatwashing nowadays? it's even worse than niggers

I'll not deny it friend, I have a Gallic look about me, but I'm as solid Roman as you are

GO. ON.

HAVING REJECTED HIS LOVING WIFE OCTAVIA

SHAME... ON THE HOUSE OF PTOLEMY FOR SUCH BARBARITY. SHAME.

GIVE ME BACK MY LEGIONS

*bangs head on wall*

Was it autism?

And so we are...but who will honour my name when I'm gone? Who will pay Prosperpina and Pluto for my keep, who will pour wine upon my grave?

cut deep, boy.

LEGIONARY TITUS PULLO IS A HERO OF THE XIII LEGION, BUT LOOK AT HIM NOW! JUSTICE KNOWS EVERY MAN'S NUMBER. HE HAS COMMITTED A TERRIBLE SACRILEGE, AND HE WILL PAY FOR IT WITH HIS LIFE! AS WILL ANY MAN HERE WHO BREAKS THE LAW.

For some reason this is my favorite line from the entire show. It's not even a vital one as if it were removed nothing would have changed.

VARUS?

>He was a console of Rome

What did Gaius mean by this?

I HAVE AQUIRED A WAIFU!
LOOK AT HER!
LOOKU DESU...

I love anthony observing this while eating his apple like a cheeky fucker

Best pasta adaptation I read in a long while.

SNIVELRY!

THE RAM HAS TOUCHED THE GATE, NO SURRENDER!

>nowadays
>Kids that were born when this was filmed are starting to drink and have shitty sex now
Most of the Sup Forums posters in this thread were 3 when this show aired. It has nothing to do with today's agendas.

Who will pour wine upon my sides?

Varma was such a qt. What the hell happened?

>Watch it Pully.jpeg

Best case scenario if this show kept going and got to do whatever it wanted to do and had all the money and good views, how long would it have kept going? Did they have a maximum set of seasons in mind?

...

He meant that Pompeius Magnus deserved better than to be killed and decapitated by foreigners since we was a consul of Rome and that should make all non-romans shake in their boots. You see he was trying to show that Romans are always above the other peoples of the world. At this moment he cared more about Rome as a whole than his personal war against Pompy. I hope that helped you understand user.

TRVE DVBS FOR TRVE ROMANS

shit it could have ended up in byzantium and shit

Internet rumour says five seasons. But internet rumour also says the last season should have featured Jesus which makes no sense in the timeline.
From the focus in the two seasons I would guess they planned to show the rise of Octavian and end it still with his triumph after defeating Mark Antony and Cleopatra.

ROME HBO : -52 to 1453

AFTER ABANDONING HIS LOVING WIFE, MARC ANTONY HAS TAKEN UP WITH THE SORCERESS CLEOPATRA.

HE BLACKENS HIS EYES WITH SOOT, LIKE A PROSTITUTE. HE WORSHIPS DOGS, AND REPTILES. HE PLAYS THE HARP IN VILE, NILOTIC RITUALS!

Non-meme answer. Being a Roman citizen in the ancient world was like having diplomatic immunity, until the later emperors fucked it up by giving everyone roman citizenship, diluting its meaning. Killing a Consul seeking refuge is an even greater crime.

ah, my feels

>fvcking g*rms

Why this didn't happen

No autist can penetrate a gaul slave like a bull, user.

Is Marc Anthony /ourguy/?

TRIARII

>Egypt's cuckboy
>ourguy

Augustus is and always will be ourguy.

Kekero a close second

All mockery of Jews and their one God will be kept to an appropriate minimum.

I wouldn't say he was Egypt's cuckboy, he was simply easily addicted to pussy and just couldn't handle that particular one. Cicero was a shifty cunt

Who was in the wrong here?

Even augustus tried to save him, he was good for Rome even if he was a shifty cunt

The guy who said that changing Octavius' performer was a good idea.

>that woman on the right
>white
maybe the gaul

Augustus agreed to his murder, though. He even sent Titus Pullo to do it

socks and sandals?
was this a Canadian production?

I meant in real life

it's a tv show you dummy

Oh. I don't know the real story that well, so I'll take your word for it. You wouldn't lie to me, would you?

I don't get this scene, Lucius says Pullo will pay with his life, but he doesn't pay for his life, he stays alive and the whole punishment was the lashes, him unable to pillage the city and him being forced to go on a mission with Vorenus to retrieve the Caesar's Eagle, he wasn't killed like it was implied he would be.

I love roman history so I wouldn't lie intentionally. Though I can still be wrong out of ignorance.

Thanks bud

God I want to fuck her so bad

Fair enough buddy. Did Augustus really fuck Octavia?

MOMMY

M8 Vorenus literally explains it to him in the first episode
>instead of being executed he gets sent to try and find the eagle, no one expects them to find it so its still basically a death sentence
either way both of them should have died/been executed dozens of times but they had powerful gods backing them up.

cymbals nigga he plays the cymbals

...and Spain!

Mexicans use this excuse all the time

Most likely not considering only sources we have are official ones from poet/historians(state sponsored ones) and his own official writings. All the other sources/critics came long after his death.

>he refuses to meet us... in person??

19/10.

...

Good, it seemed a bad idea by the writers that didn't really go anywhere

this. dude was just an addict. still died like a true roman when it all went to shit. and dont forget that he actually called the egyptian whore a whore to her face.

HE REFUSES TO MEME ME!

>Tell the people I died well.
>I died Roman.

My cock is more Gaul than you.

I think they tried to do the every politician who has a strict agenda on sexual behavior is a secret sex pervert himself meme. That's why he also told Livia that he is going to hit her while fucking and shit like that. Definitely one of the weaker parts of the show but maybe it would have played out better with more seasons.

Shame...on the house of SNEED for such barbarity. SHAME

toppus kekius

Our guy is Julius fucking Caesar.

>tfw no horse

Yeah, maybe. I had never seen that side in Octavian before that moment, and it was very sudden. The incest just led to Atia being angry and then it was never mentioned again.

>SNIVELRY!
SNEEDERY

Fortune pisses on us all, anonus

Why wasn't there any marching or battles like Gladiator?

No he isn't. Gaius was a fucking chad. Augustus was the autismo that ended up running the world and spent most of his time in senate trolling other people into doing what he wanted.

that shit is expensive.

I AM NOT RISING FROM THIS BED

Are you implying that a poorly made 10 second montage of blurry legionnaires screaming followed by Cesar proclaiming victory with one line of dialogue isn't a satisfying conclusion to a battle that has been built up for the past six episodes, user?

His show next month on Netflix Altered Carbon looks better than 2049

it was to show that despite his purity fixation that he wasn't above carnality. It also showed that even as a youth that he was aware of ulterior motives of his sister/how easily she was manipulated into doing something like that against her interest. The scene where octavia ended up helping and siding with her brother was also to show convoluted nature of Roman politics and perception.

It was never meant to be a theme/through-line for the show, just a touch stone in character development.

No

It felt very anti-climactic

Veni vidi veni

this suspiciously sounds like something a shill would say

I got that, but I didn't see why they spent what felt like a lot of time on something that ended up being a relatively small piece of character development. I never understood why he went through with it if he knew her intentions either. He didn't seem like the type to have his judgement clouded by cum - especially since he'd just had sex for the first time a little earlier.
I know, buddy. I was so disappointed. At least it's a little better in s2, but not by much. I guess they spent all of their budget on the costumes and sets, which is okay. At least Pullo and Vorenus against the gladiators was good

>best girl hasn't been claimed yet
ok then

Make up your own mind™

From the show's perspective she was the woman he grew up as ideal sexual object, most likely. It was also to hint at the problems the family faced historically with incestuous relations.
