he was loyal and hard-working, what's so hard to understand? what are you, a woman?
>>216954683Vidya was better.
>>216954708they called it catonianism instead
>>216954725Aspirin is present in many trees as a basic chemical in their sap and bark.
>You're no coward. But you do have a strong disease in your soul. A disease that will eat away at you, until you die>Really? And what is this disease?>I don't know. I'm not a doctor.>No, no you're not. So how can you be so sure of your diagnosis?>I recognize your symptoms. I have the same sickness.Was Antony autistic too?
>>216954830it's called brotherhood. you wouldn't understand.
>>216954830Now that you mention it... Octavian?
>>216954683No, he was meant to represent “the old” kind of Roman who took his vows and duty to the state seriously and believed in the Roman system, which juxtaposes with the rest of the show showing how the system had collapsed and no one else cared about anything other than their own position. Just look at how horrified he is when he realises Caesar wants to cross the Rubicon. Macaulay describes it well;>Then none was for a >party, Then all were for the state;>Then the great man helped the poor,> And the poor man loved the great:>Then lands were fairly portioned;> Then spoils were fairly sold:>The Romans were like brothers>In the brave days of old.>Now Roman is to Roman>More hateful than a foe,>And the Tribunes beard the high,>And the Fathers grind the low.>As we wax hot in faction,> In battle we wax cold:>Wherefore men fight not as they fought>In the brave days of old.

>>216954683He was a trve Roman.
And what of good Solonius?
>>216955010damn. I feel it.
>>216955010>ancient zogbots are depicted as venerable>americans think the best things about ancient rome revolved around worship of government and boots
>>216955010RIP, they don't build 'em like that anymore.
>>216955010Haha Im sure glad this is a thing of the past..
>>216955010That's a 19th century poem about the Etruscan war that happened 500 years before Caesar. It has nothing to do with the show's timeline. Making Vorenus represent morals that were literally ancient in his own time is not intelligible commentary. And Rome only grew larger and won much greater victories for that half millennium, so that 19th century poet was just a dummy.
>>216956361It was written as though through the eyes of someone from ‘Romes decline’ looking back on the halcyon past desu.
>>216956361>Making Vorenus represent morals that were literally ancient in his own time is not intelligible commentaryWhat a crock of shit. Cato the Younger literally existed in Vorenus' time.
>>216954708>They didn't have autism back thencorrect, no professionals to offer an 'opinion'"The authors of the next edition of the diagnostic manual, the D.S.M.-5, are considering a narrower definition of the autism spectrum. This may reverse the drastic increase in Asperger diagnoses that has taken place over the last 10 to 15 years. Many prominent psychologists have reacted to this news with dismay. They protest that children and teenagers on the mild side of the autism spectrum will be denied the services they need if they’re unable to meet the new, more exclusive criteria.But my experience can’t be unique. Under the rules in place today, any nerd, any withdrawn, bookish kid, can have Asperger syndrome.The definition should be narrowed. I don’t want a kid with mild autism to go untreated. But I don’t want a school psychologist to give a clumsy, lonely teenager a description of his mind that isn’t true."https://archive.ph/W0OL5#selection-533.0-549.203
>>216955632>zogbotsThe romans absolutely crushed kikes though
>>216954777He believed in the divinity of the republic. If Cato believed the same, then I suppose he was a Catonian.
>>216954683No he was Lucius
>>216956391It's not, it tells a tale in present tense. That part is about Horatius, Larcius and Herminius being the only Romans still brave enough to defend the bridge as all Romans would in the days of old. So even to those people, these morals were ancient. >>216956438Then those morals weren't dead at all so that interpretation of Vorenus is still wrong.
