>>219945045Rome in general was a morally bankrupt and degenerate civilisation. So funny how rightoid larpers worship it despite it conflicting with their values.

Brutus did nothing wrong
>>219945238Bootlicking shitbag
>>219945339>>219945206you are not a patrician or a high class citizen of your country to root for Pompey so hard
>>219945393Caesar threw some.gold and slaves at you, and you say this is good enough to end the Republic? For a King? You faggot!
>>219945206he was opportunistall the things he did, the good and the bad spewed only from desire for personal gains - glory, fame etc.>>219945306traitor. Ceaser was stabbed by 20+ people and there is a good reason why Brutus is singled out amongst them as being the worst
>>219945045I couldn’t get into Rome because Pompey and his 15 year old wife were supposed to be madly in love (to the point of mocking him for it) and it didn’t seem like the show was going to do justice to that particular anecdote
Who was the cooler guy? Marius or Sulla?
Has any man in TV or film suffered more than Vorenus?
>>219945613Both have “big dick energy” so it is a toss up. I’d go with Sulla.>physical appearance>brutally took all political power>retired in peace> Nulli fides potior, nulli iniuria graviorHe was a bit retarded to think Rome could ever go back to republic ways after what he did, but I respect his hustle.
>>219945454not true, Caesar lived through the terror of the proscriptions and probably realized that unless he seized power for the populares he would always be at risk of death at the hands of the senate out of jealousy and self-preservation or the next demagogue/general to come along who decided reform was needed. Basically Romans were all violent retards and needed to be ruled for their own good. Sadly you can't change wops and they'll always be violent retards so the imperial system quickly fell to assassination and infighting.
>>219945306Had he won at Philippi and executed Octavian I'd agree. But he lost because Cassius sucked compared to Antony at field generalling. Given the outcome we got I'd prefer Brutus had not killed Caesar, maybe somehow Octavian doesn't end up in power.
>>219945445You can always spot amerimutts in threads about Rone because their education system is specifically geared towards framing all history with the theme of "republics... le good"

>>219945613Sulla was more based. Sulla didnt want to proscribe anyone until Marius went full phsyco. He only murdered all of Mariuses supporters to rebalance the political landscape.
