HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME!
>>217797739So was this an act he obviously didn't give a fuck about roman traditions.
>Chudslop
>>217797764No, he just didn’t like uppity brownoids
>>217797764Caesar didn't like killing Romans because he grew up during Sulla's proscriptions and barely escaped proscription himself. But forgiving his enemies is ironically what got him killed in the end. A mistake which Augustus made sure not to repeat.
>>217797739Did Italians ever make a kino rome tv series or rome?I dislike all the romans always being made into English aristocracy personalities from shakespeare to hollywood movies.
>>217797764He loved (and hated) Pompey.
>>217797764That’s the best part about Caesar, you never know what he’s feeling.
>>217797868???Hes an incredibly one dimensional superficial characterBe the first in Rome and have all Romans be buddies and respect each other's titles and duties.
>The jannies have formerly declared that Romeposting is a bannable offence. They have declared that I am a criminal!

Or I can go to page 1 with my digits in my hand and run those tranny jannies back to /hm/!
>>217797764The relationship of Caesar and Pompey was like a best bro you came into conflict with.Caesar didnt want Pompey killed but Caesar had to protect his dignitas ergo crossing the Rubicon.
>>217797983Kek
>>217797963Was Caesar upset Pompey was dead? Or was he upset his corpse was denigrated? If he was upset, was it because he cared for Pompey? Was he upset he lost a useful propaganda tool for his plans? Was he upset the Counsel position was denigrated? Or was he just playing the part he felt he should play to manipulate?
>>217798020Likely a bit of all these things.
>>217798020no you moron, he didnt want any roman to die let alone Pompeius fucking Magnus.You retarded retard.>>217798051retard
>>217797815No. But there is a fantastic Caesar Assassination Documentary made by italy that analizes the murder like a CSI investigation and at the end the documentary they have the balls to Hypothesize that....caesar knew he would be killed in the senate and went anyway because he thought it would boost his legacy Its a fun watch
>>217798079Found it its called "Who Killed Julius Caesar" (2004) its actually British but half of it is in italian cause it follows an Italian Carbinerir detective and his investigation
>>217798066> he didnt want any roman to dieWhy? Because he cared for his county or because he wanted to accumulate power and didn’t want Roman deaths working against him?> let alone Pompeius fucking Magnus.Why? Was this because he cared personally for Pompey (his former son-in-law and a tether to Caesar’s dead daughter he loved) or because it would make him look bad to have chased a war hero across the world and led to him getting assassination, ostensibly to please Caesar?
>>217797983So close.
>>217798168I don't appreciate your posts
>>217798066Suck my dick you retarded faggot.
>>217797739The Romans had game consoles?
>>217797739I started rewatching the series today and was thinking of making a thread but then I remembered how often there's Rome threads on here anyway so I just waited, a good choice. I also finished watching I, Claudius yesterday and thought it quite good so I wanted some more Rome kino. I will be honest I kind of forgot how much time they spend on duo of Vorenus and Pullo. There interesting in the sense that they give a little window into the life of the plebs but they feel way too cartoony with how important they're made to the story and they drag down the history too much.
Why did Brutus do it?
>>217797983
>>217798020Caesar didn't really have a grand vision for shaping Rome into an empire, but was forced into action by the momentum of his choices. He still firmly believed in Roman virtues of clemency and the sacrosanctity of the office of consul which led to his doom. He probably still really did love Pompey as a friend and brother in law, and still respected him as co-consul, and found it repugnant that some brownoids had him assassinated to curry favour with Caesar
>>217798397Yeah but the pulpiness they bring is part of the appeal. Rome is like your favorite pulp historical fiction adventure translated wonderfully to screen, but they still had most of the kino historical moments get the gravitas they deserved. In fairness a lot of those moments are so important to the western canon that they only had to look back to Shakespeare, but it's still special in that way. There are few shows like it. I would have loved to see what a 3rd season would have looked like even if it was running off the rails a bit at the end of season 2. The historical kino surrounding Jesus and Augustus would have probably been kino.
>>217799617Caesar was an asshole anyway
>>217797739You think the whole time the bloke from resident evil would backstab him
>>217799617He really didn't like Spain.
Awful show. I think if i saw it as a teenager i would have thought it was amazing because it had titts and swearing and violence in it.But it's the kind of thing you watch as a grown up and see straight through all that nonsense, and you instantly realise it has absolutely zero substance, and the writing is awful.
>>217798020think of it like this, imagine you and one of your closest friends who you've known for decades have a falling out. You start insulting each other online, he files a lawsuit against you, at one point he slashes your tires, etc. Then one day some psycho bitch you were dating goes and burns his house down. Wouldn't you be upset?
>>217797739I wish caesar would have lived because then he would have invaded parthia and that would have been K I N O
>>217802021one of these days I hope we develop a computer complex enough that it can accurately simulate alternate history scenarios to as high a degree of complexity and accuracy as possible, and then see what possibilities we missed, including this one. I'd be curious to see a world where the roman empire persists into the present day (spoiler alert: we're living in that timeline already)
Mafia don't like it when outsiders kill Mafia even if they're enemies.
