"All my life, I've been fearful of defeat and now that it has come, its not near as terrible as I'd expected. The sun still shines. Water still tastes good. Glory is all well and good but.. life is enough ne?"
I am sorry, but the Egyptians were not Arabs. THe Arabs did not take over Egypt until the 600's. So while their may have been mixing of the Ptolemaic's and Egyptians. It certainly was not Arabs at this time. Moreover, the Ptolemaic's did indeed adopt the practices of the Egyptians to include marrying witin the family. Cleopatra was married to her brother. Her parents were related as were her grandparents. I propose you and everyone else has thier time line off. by centuries.
Cleopatra was not an Arab, She was of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, which was one of Alexander the Great's generals. Perhaps he was not Greek but Macedonian. Also, Greeks and Macedonians are not the same people. Other than they are both Indo-European. The Macedonians copied Greek culture and spread it through Alexander's conquest.
@jdpage01 Which makes them a Hellenistic culture, the Ptolemaic Dynasty founded by Alexander's General, Ptolemy, had accepted the egyptian culture as Alexander had, and Cleopatra certainly was of Greek/Macedonian descent but this was hundreds of years after (305 B.C.-30 B.C.), the bloodline was probably corrupted so much, so you have to take these things into consideration. We couldn't know if she was Arab or not, because we did not know her.
I feel most sorry for Vorenus, an old fashioned Catonian Roman reduced to watching his once proud master blubbering like a child in weird oriental attire with the stench of death everywhere.
It is beneath him, Pullo through sheer luck ended up backing the right man.
I love the scene where Vorenus wipes the makeup from Antony's eyes and undoes the clasps of the Egyptian jewelry he was wearing when he died. Little touches like that are what made the series great.
Egyptians themselves were not and are not 'black'. Even if we think of them as 'Arabs' there were never enough Arabs to change the population seriously. They only took over. 'Black' Pharoahs from Nubia put Egypt in order when it fell apart and they were noted as Nubian. There are enough ancient Egyptian paintings to know how they saw themselves and it was not 'black', nor was it European features.
@Saiaton Exactly. They were Arabs. Modern day Egyptians would be a cross between the Ancient Egyptians and the Arabs that came into Egypt during the rise of Islam.
My favorite character of these two seasons without a doubt... The only one brave enough when all these pussies come on him. Love the scene with the sad music too when he tells Cleopatra that they had a great life, tears in my eyes at these moments. Epic season, epic serie, I so hope there would be a season 3 T__T
@TubeBillionaire The Macedonians were a greek people you moron, they spoke a Greek dialogue. The Macedonian royal family of the Argead dynasty traced their ancestry to the Southern Greek city of Argos thus getting their "Argead" name, furthermore Alexander I of Macedon was allowed to participate in the Olympics, something only Greeks were allowed to do. It is you who would be laughed at you stupid slav stealing Greek history.
@TubeBillionaire LOL What an idiot, epic fail... silly slav from former yugoslavia who wants to be recognized as "Macedonian" LOL.. Get an education you fool.. Ancient as well as modern Macedonians were and are Greeks.. Ancient Macedonia lies in Greece, while you poor slavs are known as Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.. a geographicaly expanded term of the 19th century... keep dreaming of any connection to Macedonia, poor slav.. you are a laugh to history. Only idiots can believe you.
@TheBaronofBallstein Hey! Slavs are cool but you are right The FYRoM has NOTHING to do with the real Macedonians.. but I don't believe Slavs are a laugh to history. I don't know about Southern Slavs..but Kieven Rus' was a great thing..beautiful culture came from it.
@Nicollie1062 Hey I did not say Slavs are not cool (my wife is Polish) But when it comes to history, we cannot accept anything but the truth, these people are Slavic, so I remind them.. Other than that. Slavs and Bulgarians should be offended that these people reject their own heritage, and attempt to force their way on a foreign one. If I were a Slav, I would be offended that these fellow Slavs reject their own heritage to be something else..
@hummercj: What I hate about Hollywood and the American educational system is that they convince people of the most incredible nonsense, in an effort to be politically correct. As you correctly stated, Cleopatra VII was NOT African. She was the descendant of Macedonians who were established as the rulers over Egypt when Alexander the Great conquered it.
@ADRIANAIRE That's probably because she was. She was a direct descendant of Macedonians who were established as the rulers over Egypt when Alexander the Great conquered it. And considering the arabic and most north African people are caucasoid (Ie: share the same facial structure as europeans whcih is considered the establishing point of race) then even if she was of egyptian blood she would still be "white". There is "whiteness" other than european pale you know.
I'm......a little disappointed that Antony never seemed overly concerned about his children, either the ones he fathered with Cleopatra and the 'alleged' child of his with
Octavia.
Either way, brilliant death scene by James Purefoy.
Also, yeah it must be love in order to sit on a dead man's lap and kiss him. Quelle passione
Why in the stomach? Why didn´t he place the sword on his chest? Directly in the heart with such a big sword and its over in 2 seconds. But in the stomach....? This seems painful...
@Kenito615m Kind of... barbaric? You would leave half of our population cast aside to simply fulfill a very artificial role. Simple, maybe. Still, I'd rather women be what they are, we need them for completion.
@buddmar Actually, Mark purefoy was in his mid 40's during this show so....Im gonna guess that a guy like antony getting plenty of exercise might have still been a looker back in those days.
@anaihilator Good point! I stand to be corrected! Both contemporary descriptions and coin images give evidence that Mark Antony was indeed a very good looking man.
after lost battle of Actrium Antonius comitted suicide. Many days later Cleopatra killed herself as she could not expected being queen of Egypt again,
@cjaygrove Simpleton? There is no evidence of your baseless claim that this man, Vorenus, is a simpleton. Not exactly schooled with the women however that does not justify your accusation. Perhaps, you assume that a disciplined solider is a simpleton. Nevertheless, one thing is certain, you're no match for a solider such as Vorenus both in strength and virtue.
One of most remarkable things about this show, if not the most, is just how perfectly it captures the essence of the Romans and their culture. Listen how Antony wants a Roman blade, to die Roman, and is killed by the embodiment of Roman virtue, Vorenus. Then the scene where Vorenus wipes the makeup off his face, takes of his Egyptian shit, and puts on his Roman armor and rings. That's called Romanitas, the idea in Roman culture that Rome is the absolute shit and everybody else sucks. See Virgil.
Death was nothing for the ancients short bloody lives were fine, it was about honor, power or glory, how times have changed. Today we want long lives with out the need for honor or glory.
Personally I am up in the air about either perspective.
@TheObsidianhunter true but if you can pick only one out of two options, 1, die young and be remembered trough history or die old but when your children are deat and there children aswell your name will be loss.
I just saw on one of the documentaries, that Cleopatra took her own life while in Rome?? If that is true than every other documentary, and movie, and film, is wrong???????????
@powerman923 she thought she could still save her crown and country. she hoped to seduce Octavin, like Ceasr, and Antony. But after their one meeting she knew she would get nowhere with him and it was indeed the end.
how old are you? She hopes if anthony commits suicide that the other dude will spare her and her kids etc. but when she finds out he wont she realizes anthony killed himself for nothing and she has no other choice but to do the same!
@powerman923 seriously??? I felt like I knew about Roman History since I was eight... Well it's not your fault. Nobody cares about your education. They only care about your test scores
@ForsakenLogitek It's too late for another season, obviously. Idealy, had they been able to strech this into 4 seasons then it would have not seemed so condensed. Still a very good show, though. Season 1 should have been just Caesar VS Pompey, season 2 should have been Caesar as dictator ending in his assassination, season 3 should have been Antony & Octavian VS Brutus & Cassius and season 4 with Antony &Cleopatra VS Octavian.
@ForsakenLogitek Ray Stevenson said in a interview that a "Rome" movie would be made, probably it would take place later in the reign of Augustus, maybe some of the other cool characters won't be in it.
I know that Mark Antony was a wicked person but after watching him mourn like that I actually felt kind of sorry for him. The way the actor played him showed how much he loved Cleopatra. Too bad she was only manipulating him so she could survive although that didn't work out as she planned! HAHA!
i hated Mark Anthony from the very start of the series.... when we see him standing in the court yard naked.... geting washed.... He thinks his alot better than he actually is !!!
Marcus Antonius, what a man. No equal in history...2nd to the one of the world's greatest generals, husband to one of the most powerful women in history. A man's man for history. And you just have to love how Vorenus took care after his death. What a scene.
Marcus Antonius, what a man. No equal in history...2nd to the one of the world's greatest generals, husband to one of the most powerful women in history. A man's man for history.
Marcus Antonius, what a man. No equal in history...2nd to the one of the world's greatest generals, husband to one of the most powerful women in history.
she came from a long line of stunningly screwed up father and grandfathers...one of them cut up his son and gave it to the mother on her birthday....they were descended from the greek general that alexander left in place ...fascinating...dont be too hard on her...perhaps we all would have been just the same under those circumstances...:(
Cleopatra actually did everything she could to protect her kingdom, she considered herself ver ymuch an Egyptian Pharoah, not a Greek queen
Sure she killed her entire family but she was a woman in a mans world and had an empire twice her kingdoms size and power knocking on her door, she did what she had to do for her country, family and her throne
@scallywag86 She did not murder (Exepte for Arsinoe and Ptolemy XIII) and fucked only once to get to the throne, and her army was under Antony's command, not entirely hers
Mark Antony had committed suicide and Cleopatra followed his example by committing suicide on August 12, 30 BC. Caesarion's guardians, including his tutor, either were themselves lured by false promises of mercy into returning the boy to Alexandria or perhaps even betrayed him; the records are unclear. Octavian had Caesarion executed there, with the words "Two Caesars is one too many". No events concerning his death have been documented; it is popularly thought that he was strangled.
No, they don't. In the series, Octavian does want Caesarion killed because he wants to ensure he is the only living Caesar. However, the man he sends to kill him, Titus Pullo, is the boy's true father.
In the first series, it's shown that Cleopatra ends up secretly fucking Titus Pullo while she has her affair with Caesar, and it's from that coupling that Caesarion is sired.
Pullo ends up telling Octavian that he killed the boy, and because of their friendship over the years, he believes him.
Wow, all the characters were great. Well done.

@SavageVandar But it seems there will be a movie of Rome, 4 years after where the series left of in germany.
If this is true, that would be awesome

@ForsakenLogitek Ray Stevenson said in a interview that a "Rome" movie would be made, probably it would take place later in the reign of Augustus, maybe some of the other cool characters won't be in it.

I know that Mark Antony was a wicked person but after watching him mourn like that I actually felt kind of sorry for him. The way the actor played him showed how much he loved Cleopatra. Too bad she was only manipulating him so she could survive although that didn't work out as she planned! HAHA!

Marcus Antonius, what a man. No equal in history...2nd to the one of the world's greatest generals, husband to one of the most powerful women in history. A man's man for history. And you just have to love how Vorenus took care after his death. What a scene.

Cleopatra royally screwed Egypt. She murdered and fucked her way to the throne and led a hostile army right into it`s bosom.
And still, for the most bizarre reason I find her story compelling
scallywag86 2 years ago
she came from a long line of stunningly screwed up father and grandfathers...one of them cut up his son and gave it to the mother on her birthday....they were descended from the greek general that alexander left in place ...fascinating...dont be too hard on her...perhaps we all would have been just the same under those circumstances...:(

Cleopatra actually did everything she could to protect her kingdom, she considered herself ver ymuch an Egyptian Pharoah, not a Greek queen
Sure she killed her entire family but she was a woman in a mans world and had an empire twice her kingdoms size and power knocking on her door, she did what she had to do for her country, family and her throne
Abridgedfan134 1 year ago
@scallywag86 She did not murder (Exepte for Arsinoe and Ptolemy XIII) and fucked only once to get to the throne, and her army was under Antony's command, not entirely hers

Antony was one of the greatest folk heroes the Romans had, even in his lifetime. If life and death with Cleopatra
reduced him to this, he was either desperately in love, or incredibly co dependent.

do they show octavian kill caesar's son later?
kleash 2 years ago
Mark Antony had committed suicide and Cleopatra followed his example by committing suicide on August 12, 30 BC. Caesarion's guardians, including his tutor, either were themselves lured by false promises of mercy into returning the boy to Alexandria or perhaps even betrayed him; the records are unclear. Octavian had Caesarion executed there, with the words "Two Caesars is one too many". No events concerning his death have been documented; it is popularly thought that he was strangled.
SV2609 2 years ago
No, they don't. In the series, Octavian does want Caesarion killed because he wants to ensure he is the only living Caesar. However, the man he sends to kill him, Titus Pullo, is the boy's true father.
In the first series, it's shown that Cleopatra ends up secretly fucking Titus Pullo while she has her affair with Caesar, and it's from that coupling that Caesarion is sired.
Pullo ends up telling Octavian that he killed the boy, and because of their friendship over the years, he believes him.
