I just started my first episode of Rome

I almost never rewatch stuff but I've had the inkling to rewatch this series. It's pure kino.

Anyone know where I can find a good stream of Rome? I attempted this a few years ago and most places only have the first few eps.

In b4 someone suggests torrenting, I’m a poorfag with just a first version iPad that I use to watch everything

First season is fantastic
Second season gets a little muddled because they condense so much of that era into one season

A show where all mockery of Jews, and their one god, is kept to an appropriate minimum.

I like the female character's in Rome. Adds a bit of slice of life to it to balance out the heavy politics and war.

Do you losers really get off to posting this much bait? Like seriously?

>SoL.
the noble women were important actors in the politics, both in this show, and to a lesser extent, historically. Agustus's wife is actually even more monstrous than his mother (if I, Claudius is accurate).

Rome is the third best HBO series of all time, so you're in for a helluva good time.

They've got a long tradition of doing Shakespearean takes on these sorts of stories, hopefully giving them some more nuance than they would have had otherwise. A lot of brownish haired blue or brown eyed european dudes are pretty interchangeable regardless, at least as far as outsiders are concerned.

It was great that it was cut short. Two great seasons of pure kino that covers the interesting parts of that time period.
If it were allowed to go on any longer than that, it would have been ruined by storylines about muh Romans are persecuting Jews in Judaea, and the messiah (Jesus) is rising against Rome, which has been done so many times before.

People miss the point of this quote. Romans didn’t hate Jews for the reasons Yea Forums hates them, they distrusted and snarled at them for being monotheistic. Which is why the quote places the emphasis on “their one god.”

Shit and they get Caesar laughably wrong. Also “dude muh women were important Servilia was a strong independent women who was VERY important.” When all you see in the sources is that she’s Cato’s sister and she fucked Caesar once. Typical historical revisionism.

The Eagle is set in Britain so you can’t very well have both the Romans and British have British accents

>gets penetrated more than anyone else

his death scene really disturbed me though, the way he was begging for his life and shit and timon just reks his shit and tosses him in a sewer, where he'll bloat and rot and be forgotten.

All he had to do was fuck qt thicc singing slave girl, and take a cock in the ass every now and then, and he'd have been set.

Purefoy is a guaranteed watch for me.
Even though he's in a lot of cheap shit.

>I don't believe for one second Octavian wouldn't have noticed Livia plotting and poisoning people left and right.

history really overrates augustus, when historians point to agrippa as the means to success.

>sell the ipad,

>And in general Cato esteemed the customs and manners of men at that time so corrupt, and a reformation in them so necessary, that he thought it requisite, in many things, to go contrary to the ordinary way of the world. Seeing the lightest and gayest purple was then most in fashion, he would always wear that which was the nearest black; and he would often go out of doors, after his morning meal, without either shoes or tunic; not that he sought vain-glory from such novelties, but he would accustom himself to be ashamed only of what deserves shame, and to despise all other sorts of disgrace.

Based and citizen pilled.

Wow, we're so alike.

Hey Caesar. Why dont you share the content of your letter with the rest of the senate?

I don't think his rank is mentioned again after becoming Primus Pilus of the 13th veteran legion in season one. Since Vorenus is often seen as being very close to Anoty in season two I'd say it's not unreasonable to think that Antony picked him as the leader of his personal praetorian guard.

Praetorians weren’t a thing until the empire. Vorenus would eventually become evocati (veteran re enlisting) and also promoted to camp prefect, which I believe is third in command of a legion.

pretty bad

>not unreasonable to think that Antony picked him as the leader of his personal praetorian guard.
at the very least he was definitely Antony's main nigger because he knew that even though he disagreed with what he was doing, that he was a man of honor and would do his job.

>Vorenus? Deep Thirteenth, him. He'd follow the Eagle up Pluto's arse!

>Permission to leave the legion, sir!

He ask for permission to desert!

*tips toga*

because to us the British accent sounds more "ye olde", even though the non rhotic accent the British use was developed AFTER the revolutionary war, and older English accents supposedly sounded more like the American Southern accent, but it'd just sound weird for all these historic figures to sound like Cletus from the Ozarks.

Yes, but I'm from the Rockies, I wasn't aware that there are different dialects of uneducated southern cousinfucker so ozarks is usually what I think of when I'm thinking southern, sitting on a porch chewing tobacco with a jug of illegally distilled moonshine by his feet.

Depending on who you ask the Ozarks aren't even in the South. You're thinking of hillbilly type accents which is different. Hillbillies are everywhere, not just the South.
Anyway I had heard before that the traditional Southern accent is the most similar to the English accent and it always made sense, I didn't realize how much the English accent had changed since then though. Interesting stuff.

He’s was the best part of resident evil

Basically the non rhotic accent became fashionable among the British upper class in the late 1700's, and then the industrial revolution hit and there was all this "new money", people going rags to riches kind of thing and they picked up on the non rhotic accent to make themselves sound more like nobility, which filtered down through the middle class till everyone was using some variant of it.

anyway.. when you're from the northwest, yes, the Ozarks is "Southern"anything east of the Mississippi and from Kentucky and Virginia down to the panhandle of Florida is considered "Southern" to us. Just like I'm sure anything NOT in those regions is considered "Yankee" to you, even though most non southerners would consider someone from New York to be a hell of a lot different than someone from Idaho.

My favourite bit is where he's a sassy but overall mild-mannered amnesiac who becomes a tutting, cold-blooded prick when he remembers that he's James Purefoy.

What are you a boy loving greek?

Do you know what the word "Ozarks" means? The Ozarks are west of the Mississippi. The accent stuff is interesting but you're talking out your ass. I'm not even from the South.

people have hated and distrusted Jews for the same reasons throughout all of their history.
It really makes you think.

Did romans really do arm gestures when speaking in public?

I don’t think it’s just the fact that they were monotheistic.

Jews are semites, and Rome’s greatest historical archenemy was a semitic city state called Carthage.
To the Romans, anything semitic was intrinsically evil and untrustworthy.

he got the ozarks mixed up with appalachia

Have you ever seen an Italian talk?

I know I said Mississippi river and east but a lot of people will consider Missouri and Arkansas and Louisiana "southern" too.

Because British actors ride the line where they’re familiar enough to American audiences that they can be perfectly understood when speaking their lines but also ‘exotic’ enough that their accents are suited to play roles in settings that are far removed from modernity and reality.

He was a CONSOLE of ROME!!11

Romeo+Juliet-style Sopranos edition modern-drama Rome would be interesting. It would work as a mini-series of a few hours, or a refined movie. I wanted to see prime Augustus as a second season/sequel, so that better happen this time. so Rome season 2 done right by the gods

Cicero was a savage

>Would you like us to consider your behaviour from boyhood onwards, Antony? I think so. Let us begin then at the beginning. Your bankruptcy, in early adolescence – do you remember that? Your father’s fault, you will say. Certainly; and what a truly filial self-defence ! But it was typical of your impudence to go to the theatre and sit in one of the fourteen rows reserved for knights, when the Roscian Law1 assigned special seats for bankrupts – and meant this to apply whether it was bad luck or bad conduct had caused the bankruptcy. Then you graduated to man’s clothing – or rather it was woman’s as far as you were concerned. At first you were just a public prostitute, with a fixed price: quite a high one, too. But very soon Curio intervened and took you off the streets, promoting you, one might say, to wifely status, and making a sound, steady, married woman of you. No boy bought for sensual purposes was ever so completely in his master’s power as you were in Curio’s. On countless occasions his father threw you out of the house. He even stationed guards to keep you out! Nevertheless, helped by nocturnal darkness, urged on by sensuality, compelled by the promised fee – in, through the roof, you climbed.

I don't know if that's necessarily the case.

I also think that Persia in its various iterations (Arsacid and Sassanid) was Rome's true nemesis, not Carthage.

Body language has always been important in speeches.

Rome got cancelled because they were planning to show the Jewish revolt in later seasons, imagine the butthurt from twitter over based Titus shitting all over their gay temple.

Rome and Persia unironically had more in common with one another versus Rome and Carthage.
Neither Rome nor Persia were ever at a point where they legitimately threatened each other’s existence. The wars between them ultimately went nowhere and just weakened them to the point where they became easy targets for the arabs.
If you still think that Carthage wasn’t that big of a deal, read about Hannibal’s campaign in Italy and the effects it had on Rome’s demographics, culture, and overall political outlook

They were the re-enlisted veterans. Since Caesar spent 8 years in Gaul there were many soldiers who finished their official time as legionary but once the Civil War got going they went back to join Caesar or in many cases probably just didn't even leave.
