Capeshitters and /GoT/ posters will be flogged. Trannies will be strangled. Jannies will be crucified
one of the things I liked most about Rome was the World Building
it really felt like a living more primitive culture, especially in regards to it's paganism
It's really quite an authentic show. It's one of the few that gets Roman armor, weapons, tactics, and politics right. Not mention the city itself. It really went off the air too soon.
user. GET BACK IN FORMATION.
HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME.
last bump
The thing with the whistles was made up, but I guess it would be less dramatic if Vorenus was pointing to a guy with a trumpet every time he wanted to rotate the lines
that moment when pullo prays to the god of doors to scape the cell...
lol,the series went much grimdark after that.
Yeah. Really my only gripe's that they didn't show more of Alesia. But I suppose they didn't have the budget for a full scale battle, especially for the series pilot.
you could watch this first.
it begins with sulla's rebellion if im not wrong.
HEAR ME MARS
MOCKERY OF JANNIE AND HIS "JOB" SHALL BE KEPT TO AN APPROPRIATE MINIMUM.
I think i've seen some clips from this. I'll check it out for sure.
wasn't Jesus the first person ever to be crucified?
no dumbass
>the first person ever to be crucified
no,that was Gannicus.
rest in peace you glorious motherfucker.
He was literally crucified next to two other randos, you illiterate ratfaced mongrel.
t. Retarded Christian-American education
The costume work was so beautiful. I wish it went on longer.
No what Protestant retard taught you that?
it's call protestants they are unfortunately the dumbest of all the christian sects while also being the largest in the USA
imagine 2000 years from now, theres some religion, the symbol of which is a chair. glory be to god and his son, ted bundy, the savior of man.
Now that retard show GOT is done, they should come back and make a new rome series.
This.
no they shouldnt. enjoy what you got. if they remake it, it wouldnt be the same.
the best you could hope is some feminist miniseries about how cool and powerful was Boudica,even if she was defeated miserably.
Sadly I could see this being the case. No one wants a show portraying Romans in a favorable light, or humanizing them because that would play counter to modern political agendas.
>Titus forget the cross, bring me the nukes
The show intro was god awful though, lets be honest.
>Saudis execute criminals and then fucking crucifies their corpses
Is that the only place that still crucifies people?
So this is the power of American education
>a show portraying Romans in a favorable light
You haven't watched Rome. You should, it's really good.
I don't mean it portrays them conventionally as the good guys, I mean it shows them as being real people instead of being cartoon bad guys as is typical.
Are Romans considered as villain in shit countries/cultures? Referring to some of the messages above
Pharsalus happening completely off-screen was also frustrating.
Not Rome as a whole, but specific cultures/religions have issues with specific emperors. The Jews aren't fond of Hadrian and Christians tend to dislike Nero.
Without all the based actors from the past? Won’t be the same.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. You'd think if they had any spare money whatsoever they would've put it into that battle, but all we get is a blurry scene of soldiers fighting then cut to Caesar saying he won. Definitely wasn't fond of that.

I would say Africa too but niggers are too retarded to know how to properly crucify someone. Instead they throw a tire around someone with a little gasoline and only half burn them. But they would if they were capable of it.

>inb4 >Spartacus >good

Never seen Spartacus, but Rome's definitely worth your time. Great characters, settings, and plotlines. You can tell there was a lot of love put into the show. It has its faults, but a lot of them can be attributed to budget and time constraints.
Even mormons are less terrible desu
At least they are whacky enough to be amusing
Fuck pr*toshits.
Fucking watch Rome right now you fucking plan faggot
You boys ready for more dragon kino? Only this time in Africa?
Remember the thief next to Jesus who asks to be forgiven? That dude was being crucified too
What Rome did very well was not hindering the story by imbuing the characters with modern day morals and sensibilities.
>"Roman" salute

what's the tactical advantage of late period armor? or is it just that the metalworking was more advanced. thank you for replying
What's some more Roman kino?
I just finished pic related and it was freaky as fuck if not somewhat interesting, but I need something more authentic.
Funny story, on his way to fight Darius again at the Battle of Gaugamela Alexander turned around and came back to Jerusalem because the Jews were starting to cause trouble and trying to cement rebellion, Alexander crucified the ring leaders. Even back then the jews were causing trouble.
Now that Heller is done with that shitty Gotham show HBO should let him do a prequel season in Gaul.
HHHHNNNGGGG
Fag
They started using a longer sword and the pilum changed into a spear which was used as there main weapon. General thought was to keep the enemy at arms length instead of close in which the gladius was for. They also got rid of the dagger each soldier carried towards the end as well.
Yes, actually
But a 109 countries have been at fault tho
I'm reading I, Claudius right now. Even if it is fiction it's really good, and I'm looking forward to seeing the mini series after I'm done.
Also Marc Anthony steals every scene in Rome.

You got a loicense for that shitpost?
You meant to say more advanced not more primitive
Spartacus is good. Rome is even gooderer. Enjoy good ols early 2000's HBO kino my man.

OP Magnus, I have a question concerning your friend and coposter, the darling of Reddit, Gaius Anonymus Faegot . Why does his head remain empty? Why does he not go home? His illegal shitposting is over. Yea Forums is long since on it's knees. Why does he keep us brave posters from our discussions and memes?
For the entire summer he has gorged himself like a zoomer on (you)'s of bait and thereby made himself monstrously rich. WHY? Why does the ply the mob with racebaiting and capeshit and gaudy star wars threads? Why has he given (you)'s to every reprobate fool in this Rome thread? WHY? I tell you why he does those things. He wants to buy himself a Yea Forums pass. He wants to destroy the rome threads and rule Yea Forums as a bloody Mod! That's why!
Therefore I move that this faggot's post in this thread be terminated immediately, that his IP is banned and he be recalled to Yea Forums to answer charges of illegal shitposting, bait, faggotry and meming!
>more primitive culture

Very good, user. Full of vim and verve, as usual. Faegot has been generous with his shitposting because he loves the (you)s, as l do. lt is the (you)s that rule, not real discussion. l'm going to save us all hours of useless clamor and use my janitor's veto on your motion.
TRUE ROMAN BREAD, FOR TRUE ROMANS
Imagine if you could go back in time and explain germ theory to the Romans. They might have conquered the entire world.
Since Rome has held up well and the success of GOT and Chernobyl, maybe they’ll give another historical epic a shot? Crisis of the Third Century perhaps? Lots of betrayals, shocking events, intrigue, amazing characters and personalities, great battles etc.
Patrician taste. A series set late in Gallienus' reign would be kino
who should play Zenobia?
That would be pretty great.
However I wonder if all the GoT spinoffs will fill up that role for them
The assassination of Aurelian could be Red Wedding-tier if done properly
Kento Ankokuden Cestvs
A manga in which Nero fucks his mommy.
Roman infantry consistently evolved and was meant to serve different functions throughout the centuries. Because of general economic decline and a need to adapt, late imperial infantry was considerably different compared to its early imperial counterpart. Heavy infantry under the cohort system was replaced with lighter and less disciplined infantry that could respond to border incursions faster. Basically focusing on defense instead of offense.
I wish we could have had more seasons
Alexanderposters did this by themselves. Did you flog the capeshitters by yourselves, /rome/fags? I mean who planned the Reddit invasion while you were still being spanked on your bottom by my waifu Cleopatra? Was it not I, Claudius? Or is his kino no longer good enough? "True Roman Bread", is it?
M-mommy?
>tfw the only battle we got to actually see was Philippi
>tfw Game of Onions got the money that we could have had for episode long battles
>tfw we never got to see how Caesar fought in Alexandria or how he BTFO the fat retard at the Battle of the Nile
I don't know if it could be translated well into a tv series, but setting something around the fourth crusade could be kino. Second, I would suggest a series about the wars of the diadochi, atleast the first half of it when the successors are still alive. You could even do a season that focuses on Pyrrhus adventures in southern italy and sicily
A show about Diocletian that culminates with him being approached in his (olive?) gardens to retake the throne and him rejecting it would be absolute kino
Same with Odenathus since he’d be the first main protagonist. They’d have to make his random nephew more of a central character to make it work.
>Crisis of the Third Century perhaps?
Fuck this would be great. It's too bad HBO's busy with shitting out GoT prequels to make something like this.
The Persians are unironically the better empire. Though I guess the Roman transition from Republic to empire will always be iconic for how unique it and its circumstances were, especially on such a large scale
>battle of alesia greatest day of my life
Personally I think in terms of possible Byzantine settings, Phocas' usurpation and then Heraclius deposing him and carrying on the war against the Persians would be top tier
Which dynasty? Sassanids I agree were amazing. Parthians were absolute dogshit though.
July crisis kino when?
Anything Roman would be welcome at this point
i understand that reference but GoT is fantasy fiction
>this thread
and just like that, I know know what to do with my Saturday
rewatch Rome for the gods know how many times
The adventures of Gaius Marius and young Sulla in Africa. I wouldn't even complain about them casting black people as Numidians if the writing is good. Past season one it will all be set in Northern Italy and Rome anyways.
It's a long time period though with a fuckload of people involved. Better to focus on one era. I think the very start, beginning with Alexander Severus and maybe ending with Gordian III would be good
>Persians
In the grand scheme of things they barely had a historical empire
>Heraclius
Very good choice. The tragedy ending is almost like a subversion of your classical fantasy story where the world keeps on moving after the main big bad is defeated.
I'll throw in my hat for an Alexiad, something about George Maniakes maybe for a shorter story.
There's frankly a lot of stuff out there that would make for a good Rome style story.
And one day i'm sure someone is going to spend a billion dollars on a full Napoleon centric tv show.
Based. I hope you have the bluray boxset for ultimate kino experience.
I’m Danish you dumb white boy
These always make me chuckle
Thank you kind anona
>George Maniakes
My nigga. That would be brilliant, been wanting to see 11th century ERE setting for years and that would be perfect. Plenty of politics with Michael IV being a retard, lots of warfare, Harald Hardrada making a cameo. It's perfect
100% this. Honestly the most dramatic and crazy time period in all of Roman history
>Basil the Bulgar Slayer - centric story
GoT ain't got shit on the guy that blinded 15000 Bulgarian men. One about Krum making a cup out of Nikephoros' head would be fucking amazing too.
I know right? His story is perfect for a pretty self contained story that lets you see the state of the Empire while it's still powerful but in a post basil II decline but not quite yet manzikert-fucked upp. I'm surprised nobody has written a historical fiction about him as the protagonist. It even makes for a great tragedy ending with him dying right after his great victory.
Also, opening with his great victory over the turks besieging his city would be pretty darned kino to show off the state of the empire as well as what kind of commander Maniakes was
>en.wikipedia.org
>The failure by the emperor was partly offset by the victory of George Maniakes, governor of Telouch, against 800 Arabs returning from the Byzantine debacle. The Arabs, emboldened by their victory, demanded that he evacuate his province. Maniakes at first pretended to comply, sending food and drink to the Arabs, but then attacked and overwhelmed them.
/Spartacus/ is my brother by sacred oath! I know his heart! He is my friend! And a faithful roman kino! And until anyone proves that he is not I will never betray him.
ALL MOCKERY OF JEWS AND THEIR ONE GOD SHALL BE KEPT TO AN APPROPIATE MINIMUM
Honestly what i think we need is another show/film about the holocaust. Never again goy
Byzantine history has some wild fucking characters like this guy. Focus on his life and reign, would make for a good series.
>Tries to live up to his namesake, visionary and ambitious but falls short, has to raise taxes and enact unpopular policies
>Gets deposed and his nose cut off
>Exiled to Crimea for several years, escapes, nearly drowns in a storm in the Black Sea on a little fishing boat
>Allies with the Khan of the Bulgars and marries his daughter, crawls back into Constantinople through a disused aqueduct and retakes the throne, executes the two Emperors who usurped him
Good old noseless Justinian. One of only two people to be facially disfigured and still regain the throne, and he was the first, right? Absolute madman
>Crisis of the Third Century perhaps
The most cringeworthy post ITT, you could just as well have suggested a show about Justinian. No if there's going to be a new Rome kino it should be about the rise of the Republic, Rome slowly beating their neighbours, competing with the Etruscans, Brennus fucking them up, all of that.
He was a very very angry man. Not that bad of an Emperor, he's lived through bad times and that fucked him over, but boy was he ragehound.

It was a tussle between Hungarians and Turks on one hand, and different boyar parties on the other, for the throne of Wallachia. Basically, the country was a wartorn hellhole for a good while.

Check this shit out.
I'm surprised it wasn't until Constantine that someone got rid of those fuckers. Even if they held a lot of power, it seems preferable to have some of your loyal soldiers kill those fuckers rather than have them stab you in the back three months after taking office.

>I swear on my mother Servilia's eternal soul that's what happend!
>The man you just killed just got declared dictator for life. He got legally elected by the people and senate of Rome. He could have fucking crowned himself. All he had to do was accept the crown from Marc Antony but he didn't. He kept his fucking mouth shut. He did his fucking time as dictator and he did it like a man. He did two years for us. So Brutus, you're telling me that this uncle of mine who did two years for the senate, who in two years never asked for a crown no matter how often Antony dangled it in front of him, you're telling me that now that this man was made dictator perpetuus and the senate made good on their commitment to him HE'S JUST GONNA DECIDE OUT OF THE FUCKING BLUE TO RIP THE REPUBLIC OFF?! Why don't you tell me what really happened?
Absolutely not. The days of white male supremacy are over. If anything they should cast Weasley Snipes as Hannibal Barca and the little Joffrey bitch kid as Scipio.
Didn't like Octavian 2, original was much better. If Rome actually got more than 2 seasons they could have waited until he grew up.

You need good characters for a series to work. A crisis series based around people like Aurelian, Tetricus, Zenobia, Odenathus etc. Start it with the Valerian disaster and finish it with Aurelian would be kino

Now that you say it, the world building was reeeaaally good.
As far as showing new places, it paced itself, it built up the new area to familiarity, it made it relevant to the rest of the world, and you actually knew where the fuck you were.
A lot of ‘world’ shows will let you see a lot of places but nothing is connected and it feels like watching someone’s vacation slide-show.
They're doing LOTR, probably Second Age fall of Numenor stuff. Not authentic history, but in a way the source material reads like a history book or a legendary saga.
