You can make a movie about any roman emperor. Who do you choose? No Byzantines. My choice is pic related

Chuck

Tiberius, focusing on his relation with Livia, the deaths of Gaius and Lucius, brief flashes of his time as a general, his assassination of Germanicus and the execution of Sejanus and ending with his "exile" on Capri, where he's played by Patrick Stewart.
I'd also cast Kristen Scott Thomas as Livia and Paul Dano as Caligula.

>"Hey guys I made funny joke am I cool now?!"

Ottaviano

Septimius Severus!!!!

I want some Romans vs. Jew kino.

Excellent choice. I would enjoy a tv series chronicling the Severan dynasty

Is there a great Constantine movie?

Tiberius was already done really well in I Claudius, but I'd like a biopic as well.

One of the most overrated emperors in existence. I would prefer Hadrian or Trajan if we're going that era.

Elagabalus the first fuckboi of Rome
>Finally, he set aside a room in the palace and there committed his indecencies, always standing nude at the door of the room, as the harlots do, and shaking the curtain which hung from gold rings, while in a soft and melting voice he solicited the passers-by. There were, of course, men who had been specially instructed to play their part. For, as in other matters, so in this business, too, he had numerous agents who sought out those who could best please him by their foulness. He would collect money from his patrons and give himself airs over his gains; he would also dispute with his associates in this shameful occupation, claiming that he had more lovers than they and took in more money

Don't you find it funny that emperors who were probably the most based were also the ones most hated by the senate? Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Domitian, Caracalla, the list goes on.

>Nero missed his wife so greatly after her death that on learning of a woman who resembled her he at first sent for her and kept her; but later he caused a boy of the freedmen, whom he used to call Sporus, to be castrated, since he, too, resembled Sabina, and he used him in every way like a wife.
>Sporus actually wore his hair parted, young women attended him whenever he went for a walk, he wore women's clothes and was forced to do everything else a woman does in the same way.
>This Sporus, decked out with the finery of the empresses and riding in a litter, Nero took with him to the assizes and marts of Greece, and later at Rome through the Street of the Images,fondly kissing him from time to time.
>Nero married him with all the usual ceremonies, including a dowry and a bridal veil, took him to his house attended by a great throng, and treated him as his wife.
>Soon after Nero's death, Sporus was taken to the care of the Praetorian prefect Nymphidius Sabinus, who had persuaded the Praetorian Guard to desert Nero. Nymphidius treated Sporus as a wife, and called him "Poppaea". Nymphidius tried to make himself emperor but was killed by his own guardsmen.
>In 69, Sporus became involved with Otho, the second of a rapid, violent succession of four emperors who vied for power during the chaos that followed Nero's death. Otho reigned for just three months, until his suicide after the Battle of Bedriacum. His victorious rival, Vitellius, intended on using Sporus as a victim in a public entertainment; a fatal "re-enactment" of the Rape of Proserpina at a gladiator show. Sporus avoided this public humiliation by committing suicide. He was probably under 20 years old.

>The most explicit recorded incidents of public sex involving humans and animals activity are associated with the murderous sadism, torture and rape of the Roman games and circus, in which it is estimated that several hundreds of thousands died.

>Masters reports: "Beasts were specially trained to copulate with women: if the girls or women were unwilling then the animal would attempt rape. A surprising range of creatures was used for such purposes - bulls, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, wild boar, zebras, stallions, jackasses, huge dogs, apes, etc. The beasts were taught how to copulate with a human being [whether male or female] either via the vagina or via the anus."

>Representations of scenes from the sexual lives of the gods, such as Pasiphaë and the Bull, were highly popular, often causing extreme suffering, injury or death. On occasion, the more ferocious beasts were permitted to kill and (if desired) devour their victims afterwards.

>Chimpanzees and mandrills, both in fact ferocious and very powerful species of primate: "made drunk by wine and inflamed by the odor of females of their kind, were loosed upon girls whose genitals had been drenched with the urine of female chimps and mandrills." The victims were often virgins and not infrequently young children. One spectacle is said to have included "a hundred tiny blonde girls being raped simultaneously by a horde of baboons."

I think the funniest thing is Octavian worked so hard to set up the empire and administrative state all while doing things to keep both the senate and people on his side as he transformed Rome. Then most Roman Emperors were much more like Mark Antony anyways

whats the sauce big hoss

>Suetonius quotes one Roman who lived around this time who remarked that the world would have been better off if Nero's father Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus had married someone more like the castrated boy

Its better than that horrible Egyptian arc
>Caesar backed against the wall again with too small of an army to win
>An allied army comes from fucking nowhere and saves the day
The plot armor is absurd

Justinian
>No Byzantines
Fuck off

>movie about a spoiled sociopath dickhead
It would actually be pretty good tbqh

lmao

I will make an exception for him.

You don't mess with perfection, user.

It's amazing how so many people hate it. They complain about the hardcore sex scenes when there's literally a softcore version for them to watch.

Didius Julianus would make for a great comedy.

I bet the Jews were behind those too

Based Caracalla. I'd like to see Marcus Aurelius too but I don't think any living human could live up to him in my mind

Alexius Komnenos.

A movie adaptation of Memoirs of Hadrian would be nice.

*Comnenus

Came to post this. Justinian was irrevocably based. Basel the Bulgar Slayer, as well, was /ouremperor/

Honorable mentions for Michael VIII Palaiologos and Contantine XI, as well.

I've gotten so used to Mainstream just praising Marcus Aurelius so much that he doesn't do it for me. I actually prefer Commodus over him.

Forget the emperors, gimme my Scipio Africanus or Sextus Pompey trilogies.

Not even 1(ONE?!) (You)? Fuck you guys

There are good reasons for praising him. You don't have to be a hipster about it.

> No Byzantines
REEEEEEE THERE WAS TOTAL ONTOLOGICAL CONTINUITY BETWEEN CLASSICAL ROME AND THE ERE, "BYZANTIUM" IS A MEME, HISTORICAL REVISIONISM BY SALTY NORDS

That being said, Septimus Severus was breddy cool, I want a film about him killing NORDS during the invasion of Caledonia

>Basil

>Muslims are still in Syria and Egypt
>"Oh I know, let's kill fellow orthodox Bulgarians and Georgians instead"

A Second Punic War film with Oscar Isaac as Hannibal would be pretty sick.

Hadrian

Under Basil, all of Anatolia was under Roman control. The Muslims were not a great and terrible threat until the Latins stabbed them in the back in the 4th Crusade.
And if the Muslims are not an existential threat, and the Bulgarians are trying to attack Greece, instead of leaving you alone to fight the Muslims, what else are you supposed to do, retard? Just let the Balkanites kill you while you focus all of your attention on the East?

Damn son what a career

If we're going to go that route, then we should include Crassus as well. The suppression of the 3rd Servile War and the creation of the worst stretch of roadside billboards that ever existed would be great to watch on the big screen.

Yeah he was a good person that was wise and successful in battle. Any other reasons?

A good person that’s stays so at that time and that position is an extraordinary feat

His brother Lucius Verus doesn't get enough credit in helping Marcus Aurelius. There were also 4 good emperors before Marcus and that includes Trajan, the man who had the roman empire at it's peak

Yes
Conditional Enemy

>No Byzantines.
based and redpilled

Emperor Valentinianus III. His reign covered very difficult times for the Roman Empire, with the onslaught of the Huns challenging Roman imperial integrity, for a time. There were also more threats, through the Vandals, the Goths, and other tribes, as well as internal political corruption and palace intrigue.

kill the traitor before the enemy

Is this Beck?

Imagine how better off we'd be if the romans had won.

It's unlikely they would have. At best, we have the west becoming separate successor states of Rome, the Western Empire was too factional and fragmented to properly hold together.
