Throughout ALL the serial Aetia IS a "crazy bitch", and I haven't expected from her saying to her "Imperial son's wife" something like: ...REMEMBER...MANY MUCH BETTER WOMEN THAN YOU TRIED TO DESTROY ME ...
There are two figures of Roman History that could make great dramas, but: Hollywood, BBC, HBO an the others; have never noticed them.They are Lucius Catilina and Clodia. Both of the same era, the one of adult youth of Julius Caesar and Cicero.Catilina a gangster but an aristocrat, a populist who despised the people, a hedonist that easily switched to stoic.Also, an early prototype of Julius Caesar lacking the genius,while surfeiting in self-indulgence. Clodia requires a full post for her alone.
Historically, Livia is a figure of great stature, while Atia was relatively unknown. It took too much literary license in this series to fudge up Atia´s character and make her more interesting, powerful and beautiful than Cleopatra and Livia together. A generation of young viewers are gonna be misled by this HBO Rome Series, their knowledge of Rome´s History of that era is gonna be way off. The same or even worse in the Series "The Tudors", History was butchered.
Don't know but I kinda always compare characters from Rome to characters in Caligula.I think Livia from I Claudius is much much better while augustus in Rome especially in the first season is better or at least more realistic.It would be interesting to think about how they morphed though.Seeing Rome's Octavius morfing into Brian Blessed
@powerdriller10 Not at all, I've known quite a few people who, after seeing "I Claudius" had the precise same estimation. He portrayed Caligula as the stereotypical sissy faced psychopathic nancy boy. The historical Caligula was quite different...
Ok, I agree with you that historical Caligula might have been quite different from the most common theatrical representations of him. But, Hurts interpretation in "Claudius", as an artistic work, was still very good. Even if it follows prejudiced script.
@powerdriller10 I agree. And don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Hurt's work in general. I did find some enjoyable elements in his Caligula performance, but at the end of the day, I saw it as being stereotypical...
@msgt33 I agree, 'Rome' did disgrace most of the historical facts and could've been better. Hopefully the producers will do WAY BETTER with "I, Claudius' and that they'll have some REAL and GOOD historical consultants on the project too, plus Im sure fans of the original will be expecting and hounding the producers to do the orignal justice.
@HistoryLover1550 alot of it is accurate, except we no little about Atia, her attitude which they gave her respond so the matrona of that time, woman-power behind the scene
@HistoryLover1550 thnx, i just saw my english wasnt that good, always when i just wake up, and listen 2 youtube for some music, my english isnt that good , lol. But if ur english urself, alot of Plutarch and seutonius works can be found online. Especially Plutarchs works. if u like Rome, compare Plutarchs Marc Anthony with that of Rome, They were very accurate except Marc Anthony had a beard most of the time, in Rome they give it 2 him when he is in a cold climate like Gaull
@TheGenX1979 U r right, Antony's portrayal in the series is accurate to the accounts of Plutarch and other Roman writers, some surviving images of him are in fact beardless though.
@000000poizen000000 They put an end to the series because it was too expensive. Moreover, after the battle of Actium, there's no more wars, so it's not interesting...
This scene is complete bullshit, never could have happened.They made up a lot of stuff but Octavian had already banished his mother for marrying her stepson , something the show ignored, and the whole Marc Antony / Aetia thing, never HAPPENED !!!!
@maclach1 It's always interesting to see the creeps who think that being anonymous makes it all right to be so rude. My guess would be that you have to watch your mouth very carefully in real life, and that's probably a good thing, you creep .
@vasp99 Um ... you're the one who used words like "bullshit" in your post. And I have to watch MY mouth is real life? I'm rude? Really? And since when does having a difference of opinion make someone a "creep"? I was simply pointing out how sad it is when someone has to pick apart a TV DRAMA - a well written TV drama, which is only LOOSELY based on actual events - and point out all the historical inaccuracies. If you want historical accuracy read a history text book or watch a DOCUMENTARY.
@Phil6590 That was sarcasm, friend. Perhaps you've heard of it? No? Pity. I was taking the piss out of you and you fell for it, miserably. Take a bow, Phil, Lord of the Idiots. You've earned it.
@ninjast4r Sarcasm entails intelligence, and you're a 12 year old child. You make me laugh. Go jump off a bridge and end your suffering. Your stupidity is a disease that can't be cured.
@Phil6590 Ooh, struck a nerve, did I, exposing you for the fool you are? Well, I must say, you've hurt my feelings with those witty barbs and retorts, Phil. Does this mean we can't be friends? I mean, repeating the same insult over and over again will surely have to work at least once based on probability alone. And as the coup de grace, suggest someone take their own life after having your ass handed to you on a silver platter with all the trimmings. That takes class. I've clearly met my match!
@ninjast4r Hahahaha you really think you have the capacity to insult me, don't you? You think anything you have to say (an inbred who posts a hate comment on a video of a scene from a highly acclaimed tv show) that would actually insult me? lmao you flatter yourself. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but no one care what you think, let alone the fact you exist.
@Phil6590 Hmm, if no one cares what I think, or even that I exist, for that matter, why have you wasted so much of your precious, 'purebred' time stooping to my level? QED. Epic logic fail. And I never insulted Rome, dipshit. You took it upon yourself that I did. I stated this meeting never occurred because Atia was dead by this time. That's really more of an observation than an insult. But it's clear you really don't know what an insult is. If I said your mother is a whore, that's an insult.
@ninjast4r Epic logic fail? lmao How about the failed logic about the fact that Atia is clearly not dead, in this Rome scene? Because, as I said before, tool, this show is a drama rather than a historical documentary. It's clear you can't tell the difference between genres. By the way, I haven't wasted any of my time. You made a fool of yourself all on your own. It is big of you to admit you're at a lower level than me though. Keep talking moron, you sound smarter with every comment.
@Phil6590 I do sound smarter, actually, because you're still obsessed with this shit, and keep needing to get the last word in and clearly don't understand when you've been duped, lost, or when you sound really stupid. At first it was amusing to see levels of subtlety and sarcasm go way over your head and how pissed you got. But now it's just sad. I almost (ALMOST) pity you. Do you have a list of people that were mean to you in high-school that you plan of killing someday? You're just sad, man.
@ninjast4r lmao you just keep entertaining me. I must be really pissed since I've been laughing in your face this entire time. It seems quite contradicting that I've "lost" as you say, considering you're a idiot that makes idiotic comments, and I've proven just that. You can't even defend yourself, but instead try to deflect like a coward. A 9 year old kid would have better success insulting me than you. You're a JOKE.
@Phil6590 You've really hurt my feelings with that last one. I didn't realize that arguing on the internet was such SERIOUS BUSINESS to you. You are a petulant loser who needs to get the last word in. Can't you realize that you're an idiot? Evidently not, as you keep going. I've offended your honor, by being a "coward" and can't defend myself. Defend against what, exactly? Mr. Internet Tough Guy Phil6590? Does this really mean that much to you? What's next? A breath holding contest? Pathetic.
@ninjast4r AHahaha now who's getting all worked up? Huh tool? Since you need me to spell it out for you, you can't even defend yourself against the fact that I was right to call out your comment, you douchebag. lmao please, post more comments about what "didn't happen" in the show, I'm sure you can think of a few more things. Let's hear it idiot, make me LAUGH =D
@Phil6590 I've given ample opportunity for you to prove the be the bigger man to walk away, but since you haven't taken it, I'll take it for you. The only thing wrong about the show is that retards like you are allowed to watch it. For the sake of humanity's collective IQ, please go fuck yourself and die. You are incredibly worthless, and I can't believe I've wasted so much of my time to try and talk some sense into you. I'm done. Please, waste more time. Let everyone see what a loser you are.
@ninjast4r Hahaha you seem pretty upset, you should go to a bar sometime and just chill out. A gay bar. Because you're a fag. That's right, bitch out and fuck off. By the way, it really was a pleasure to finally meet a future Darwin Award candidate. I look forward to reading about you one day.
I just love the "Far better women than you". She defeated Servilia, but she was no idiot: she knew she was dealing with a true rival. Even in death she practically ruined her life. But ATIA PREVAILS!
Atia was the personification of power politics ... one of the best Machiavellian character potrayals on the screen, ever. Loved her to bits. I miss Rome. :( Best accurate fiction, ever!
@mbdulka i agree Rome was a damn good depiction of the era and its mores. But hasn't anyone noticed that the writers never made mention that Octavian was actually married to Scribonia when he was introduced to Livia?True, she had no importance other than having born Octavian's only child, Julia.
@57monks Sure, they warped historical relationships a bit (Agrippa marries Octavian's daughter Julia, etc....), but as you noted, the elan of the series (pre-christian period), was extremely well-done. The language (obviously would have been cooler in Latin for a nerd like me :P), the mannerisms, the lack of shame of nudity, the lax ideas of sex, the brutality, etc... just awesome. I can watch this over and over, no problem, never get bored with it. Miss it!
@57monks If they added Scribonia then they would have had to add the 10 or more years they skipped in the series. I'm sure they wanted to add more history (and no doubt dramatize them for our pleasure), but I remember hearing at the time of the series that the budget wasn't helping their cause at all, so they had to fast forward and end abruptly. The accurate depiction of Roman art and culture (cinematography was excellent!) was just too expensive
@Davy2rainShe said "You are swearing now that some day you will destroy me. Remember: far better women than you have sworn to do the same. Go and look for them now."
Atia: I don't give a fuck what the priest say, I will not let a viscous little trollop like you, walk ahead of me, I GO First.
Livia: I take no offense off course, you are not yourself
Atia: I know who you are, I can see you, your swearing now, that someday, you'll destroy me. Remember! Far better women that you have sworn to do the same, go and look for them now!
Interesting to compare Livia and Augustus from Rome to those of I Claudius.I like to imagine how they evolved from Rome ti IC versions.I think the only way possible Livia could evolve into calculated villain of I Claudius is by looking up to Atia...and the only way Augustus could have evolved into Brian Blessed version from IC is by being pissed everyone thought of him of being soulless and trying his best to be nice,also eating extensively....
I really doubt Atia talked this way, according to Tacitus:
"In her presence no base word could be uttered without grave offence, and no wrong deed done. Religiously and with the utmost delicacy she regulated not only the serious tasks of her youthful charges, but also their recreations and their game" Dialogus de Oratoribus
@TheKsk1997 ati wasnt really octavians mother ati is based on the life of another roman women they just used the name, their is no relation between the historical atia and this one.
@ACrules100 Sounds to me there is a relation... as she insists on walking before [ ] .. What a shame to distort history like that to serve entertainment
I love Atia. Undoubtedly the most supreme super bitch ever to grace television, and yet somehow we manage to feel sympathy and sorrow for her, after all the plotting and manipulating. It just goes to show what a talented actress Polly Walker is and how deft the writers of the show were. This scene is almost more epic than some of the bigger battles. Brilliant stuff!
@Crazydog7 this is my favorite scene of the second series, it was when i finally realised i like attia, i hated her at the start. i always liked that "far better women" line too, it was servilla's last hurrah. i think she deserved it after what she went through.
I don't give a fuck..... what the priest say...." "I will not let a visious little trollop like you, walk ahead of me.... I go first"
I take no offense, off course, you are not yourself
" I know who are you, i can see, your swearing now, that someday you'll destroy me.... remember..!, far better women than you..... have sworn to do the same, go look for them now"
You gotta love Atia's vicious attitude..." I dont give a fuck what the priest say, I wont let a viscious little trollop like you walk a ahead of me, I go first" hahahh
Thats a woman i would'nt wanna fuck with, well, unless we are in bed.
In the series- I Claudius -is a great scene of Liva where she speaks of youthful glory . She speaks as being thought one of the most beautiful woman in the world.There had been that other one,in Egypt,but she,Liva,had lasted .
2 of the baddest bitches in rome but there was only gonna be one winner here. not even cleopatra could fuck with attia and live. she is the biggest bitch in the series but i loved her and she was sexy aswell. id be her slave anyday....lol
God, Atia's so badass. I used to hate her but for some reason I started liking her (probably because of all her awesomeness), though not necessarily everything she did but she was such an a great character! I hate Livia. Period. Just didn't like her one bit.
love atia ,love her, would to be her friend and help her to be even more of a strong woman than she really 'was ///octavian would only lsten to her ,rome would have been saved for another 2 millenia ..all the bath houses; gradiatrors, bacanal partys....no beter place in this world...then the crazy jews and christans and muslins had to come and destroy everythyng , bunch of sick barbarians//// with thiier crazy fanatic religions/// it really sucks no more freedomm ///
@maizegod77 -- you really don't know much about ancient classical history and your comments are quite ignorant. The ancient Romans were quite religious in their own right, and worshiped a plethora of Gods. You've already embarrassed yourself here, but its not too late to get some books, do some research, and learn something.
@kippsi1 LAMO: Augustus had a mother whoever she was. The scene is about Livia Drusilla, empress in waiting. She never bore him a son, but she maybe killed off half his family, paving the way for Tiberius Nero, her son by her first husband.
Augustus paid the devil back for breaking up that marriage.
Tremendous shame that Rome didn't go on into a third season, I would have loved to see what was going to happen with Livia because the poor girl didn't get much of a run in the series (I would have also liked to see Tiberius but all he got was a mention). At any rate the movie is really something to look forward to
Some of them don't look Roman... Romans have elegant large noses... with the bridge of the nose well defined... some of these bitches have germanic, piggish noses and have no passion... they look weak, and insipid... hire some real italians!!!...
Atia looks roman but your right roman women have big noses and darker olive skin like my mother however my mother has blue eyes roman women ussally had brown ones but a blue eyed slave cost twiced as much as a regular brown eyed one.about 2000 silver coins more for a blue eyed slave girl.blond and red wigs were popular, poor german woman sold there hair to rich roman woman to make wigs with.
The core of the Mediterranean Race has always been Olive skinned and brown eyed... I think light brown eyes, or Honey colored eyes are infinitely more beautiful than blue... I guess that is why.. blue eyes are not as comun in Italy today.. because while the Romans had blue eyed and yellow haired slaves.. they preffered the Olive skinned.. dark haired Romans to have children with.. other wise.. all Italians would be as lame as the germanics in features...
Same here. When I watched the series the first time, I thought she was a great character, but I didn't like her... until this scene. When I saw Rome a second time, I was very fond of her throughout the entire series.
I hated her character throughout the show but after this i liked her haha

@mbdulka i agree Rome was a damn good depiction of the era and its mores. But hasn't anyone noticed that the writers never made mention that Octavian was actually married to Scribonia when he was introduced to Livia?True, she had no importance other than having born Octavian's only child, Julia.
57monks 1 year ago
@57monks Sure, they warped historical relationships a bit (Agrippa marries Octavian's daughter Julia, etc....), but as you noted, the elan of the series (pre-christian period), was extremely well-done. The language (obviously would have been cooler in Latin for a nerd like me :P), the mannerisms, the lack of shame of nudity, the lax ideas of sex, the brutality, etc... just awesome. I can watch this over and over, no problem, never get bored with it. Miss it!
mbdulka 1 year ago
@57monks If they added Scribonia then they would have had to add the 10 or more years they skipped in the series. I'm sure they wanted to add more history (and no doubt dramatize them for our pleasure), but I remember hearing at the time of the series that the budget wasn't helping their cause at all, so they had to fast forward and end abruptly. The accurate depiction of Roman art and culture (cinematography was excellent!) was just too expensive

Interesting to compare Livia and Augustus from Rome to those of I Claudius.I like to imagine how they evolved from Rome ti IC versions.I think the only way possible Livia could evolve into calculated villain of I Claudius is by looking up to Atia...and the only way Augustus could have evolved into Brian Blessed version from IC is by being pissed everyone thought of him of being soulless and trying his best to be nice,also eating extensively....

I really doubt Atia talked this way, according to Tacitus:
"In her presence no base word could be uttered without grave offence, and no wrong deed done. Religiously and with the utmost delicacy she regulated not only the serious tasks of her youthful charges, but also their recreations and their game" Dialogus de Oratoribus

It just goes to show what a talented actress Polly Walker is and how deft the writers of the show were. This scene is almost more epic than some of the bigger battles. Brilliant stuff!

@maizegod77 -- you really don't know much about ancient classical history and your comments are quite ignorant. The ancient Romans were quite religious in their own right, and worshiped a plethora of Gods. You've already embarrassed yourself here, but its not too late to get some books, do some research, and learn something.

@kippsi1 LAMO: Augustus had a mother whoever she was. The scene is about Livia Drusilla, empress in waiting. She never bore him a son, but she maybe killed off half his family, paving the way for Tiberius Nero, her son by her first husband.
Augustus paid the devil back for breaking up that marriage.

He gave us free will, and you're right, the emperors of Rome did what they wanted.
It's ironic that Augustus, so loyal to his family most of the time, married this woman,
the most successful fraud disguised as wife that ever lived.

Right germanics were indeed slaves...
The core of the Mediterranean Race has always been Olive skinned and brown eyed... I think light brown eyes, or Honey colored eyes are infinitely more beautiful than blue... I guess that is why.. blue eyes are not as comun in Italy today.. because while the Romans had blue eyed and yellow haired slaves.. they preffered the Olive skinned.. dark haired Romans to have children with.. other wise.. all Italians would be as lame as the germanics in features...
