Oh... well that explains it... "pop culture"... Council estate white vermin who try to talk like negroes and consider themselves rebels because they spend half their weekly social security on weed... As I don't spend much time standing on street corners, I'm not too familiar with the grunts and groans these creatures use.
I'm trying to find the scene where Marc Antony is told by Pullo that Vorenus is not well (he is wasting away after his wife killed herself) and Antony shows up at his place and confronts him, and snaps him out of it.. one of my favorite scenes.. when he is all like, "Dys is not your master, Centurion.... I am your master... by sacred oath under the standards of the 13th..." and you can see Vorenus just snap out of it and return to being his badass self... wish someone would post that scene up.
This series was so superbly acted. And brilliantly written. The Romans were endlessly fascinating. 2000 years down the road they seem more contemporary to me than the Victorians.
Antonty really did open Quintus's neck! Just as warned. What a Politician he would make today! Or Caesar for that matter. Antony went on to defeat Brutis in battle, but he was in turn defeated by Julius Caesar's heir Augustus Caesar, or rather by Caesar's will. Antony kept personal relations with Cleopatria, Queen of Eqypt, and battle ensued when Antony could have had all. Just as every tine from 300BC to about 600AD the Romans always prevailed. Antony's co-alliance with an Eqyptian Queen...
Very subtile at 7:25. In the series, Ceasar dind't say: "you too, my son?" while being stabbed by Brutus. But in this scene, Brutus says almost the same when his mother is not supporting him
@uscdave1124 Finally an American who speaks sence...Enough with all these neocon bullshit concernIng Democracy and Ethics...There is no Ethics in Politics only power...But then there comes the problem of loses..I mean Americans are too sensitive about their soldiers and they want them to be safe..Well it's a freaking war people kill each other in wars it's natural to have casualties....Anyway i guess States with satysfied people is dificult to become Empires...
@Jeffanos people like you are disgusting. you probably find this mark antony character amazing. humanity is better than having empires and wars. arent there large countries in the world today that have large and wealthy populations and still they hate all this madness (e.g turkey)?
The Roman model of thinking that has become the epitome of thought for thousands of years is the curse of humanity and that sir is the basic truth
@rgrft Turkey???? U r kidding right?? Turks are at war with the Kurds and they costantly try to expand their country's influence in Aegean and the middle east..They adopted the Neo-Ottomanism as their dominant ideology in their external afairs and they costantly threat the stabillity in Turkish-Israeli relations...Everybody seeks power its in human nature to dominate the weak and if u don't bealive it u r at least naive...And the epitome of western civilization is the ancient Greek thought
@Jeffanos i suppose you are right that Turkey has started to follow the Roman/Greek model since the past few decades. However that land was once part of the amazing Ottoman Empire where Jews, Christians and Muslims lived together in harmony. Atleast during the time of Suleiman the magnificent and his father wars were only fought against the mad crusaders. No prominent historian has ever said that the empire was unjust. Its not human nature to dominate rather its the need to find stability.
@Jeffanos If America could would return to the ideals of their founding fathers, it could become the best nation on the face of this planet and i feel it is possible for them because the people want substantial change, the people do want to demonstrate true justice and democracy to the world. Just look at the support Ron Paul is getting in his presidential bid. I truly believe the idea of humanity is separated from race, ethnicity or nationality.
@rgrft Well Americans can only achieve more humanistic policies if they chose to follow isolation...If USA accepts the title of the dominant superpower then there is only one path and that is war...If Americans want to demonstrate tru democracy to the peoples of Middle East and Asia means that they want those countries to follow their form of governance and their way of life..This is a form of dominance they dominate those people with their culture and policies..This is what i previously said..
@rgrft The curse of humnaity has been middle age brought by germanic tribes that destroy all human knowledge adquired. Rome was primitive for nowadays standards, of course, but in that age it was the real path to civilization. The "pax romana" in Augusto era, brought 15o years of peace and stabilty, develope of cultures and equal rights to all citizens of the empires.That was the way.Then barbarians came and lead to the anglosaxon world of nowadays, a world of war without dignity and honor.
They followed the story very wel, really everything is good about it, one little flaw we know almost nothing about Atia, so they gave her the really Roman matrona attitude, power behind the curtains, she also never had an affair with Anthony according 2 plutarchs M.Anthony. Marc Anthony is also epic, Vulgair among civilians, but loyal and couragous amongst his soldiers and under his general. like ceasar says in the beginning:'He has a vulgar streak, i dont mind it, he fights wel'
I have just become obsessed with this series...what a fantastic show :) And Marc Antony is super hot :) Have you seen "Cicero" as Mr. Collins in the 1995 Pride and Predjudice.....,he<s awesome:)
Marc Antony was such a boss in this show hahaha James Purefoy nailed that role perfectly, I love when he just opens that fucker's throat on the street and walks away casually haahhaha
in the movie cleopatra 1999 octavian finds brutus and beheads him and shows mark anthony that should have happened here.. the filty traitor. Caeser was good for the people and these fucktards screwed that up! i cant even say how Much i enjoyed watching that whore Servillia get beaten and stripped on the streets the fucking feminist! good on the guys that raped her later too!
@Jc40k1 mainly to send a message. Quintus (the other guy) had tried to kill Antony on the day of Caesar's assassination (even though Cassius said not to), so Antony's doing it to say "don't mess with me or you're next."
I love how in this series they *all* underestimate Octavian while merrily plotting away. He's the hidden wild card, a power waiting in the wings & Caesar foresaw his potential when no one else did....
@oceanpoem219 Good foreshadowing of Julius Caesar's insight was a scene when he noticed the boy Octavian snooping. Caesar called Octavian "little Owl" and then asked his bright nephew what he thought of the conversation.
@robotech987654321 Rome is more historical fiction than Spartacus. Spartacus is action flick series with badass plot and actors but more like 300. Rome has sex, blood, gore but more documentary-ish and gives a more human face to history. For example Antony in a history book may seem boring but having a face and emotions to put to the facts about him shows how badass he is.
@robotech987654321 - Rome is ten times the show Spartacus is. And that's saying something, because I very much enjoyed Spartacus. The acting quality and writing of Rome is just far and beyond what Spartacus was. You should definitely watch it.
The son of Pompey the great was not kill like this actualy he buit a army after he saw hes father kill in egypt and won 2battles vs octavian last battle was naval battle that he lost whent to turkey where he was killed by a centurion on orders of octavian
@adkinsjr "If I ever again here your name connected with murmurs of treachery, I will cut off these soft pink hands, and nail them to the senate door." -Antony to Cicero
And well all know Antony meant it... literally. : )
This is why I loved the series. Each word in this scene is loaded with Venom, even the polite words are filled with threat.
There is no confusing the fact ever one in that room is an enemy and that the only thing keeping this meeting from becoming a blood bath is the formality of hospitality.
I LOVE how they didn't use the Shakespeare line "You too Brutus?" when Caesar was assassinated, but they reference it here in this scene when Brutus turns "You too, mother?". Haha! I always get a good laugh out of that. Brilliant script!
The script writers are probably following Plutarch's account of Caesar's assassination. In Plutarch's account, Caesar didn't say anything but tried to hide his face in his toga.
I wish people would stop saying that "Rome" was canceled. It was not canceled, it was over. HBO did what they set out to do..show the rise of Julius Caesar and Octavian..period. It was the most expensive show in history, 2 seasons were costly enough. "Deadwood" fans suffered more, a 4th and final season of "Deadwood" was scrapped so HBO could do the 2nd and final season of "Rome".
IMO Antony carried this show, The other characters were good, but he was EPIC, like Tony Soprano was on The Sopranos. It's a shame that "ROME" never quite caught on, I thought it was Great.
@Aulelia27 yeah and scene after funerals when he says "And I have an angry mob, that will roast and eat your 'men of quality' in the ashes of the Senate House!" it's like he's drawing a picture of it.. awsome
@AlexOfMacedonAOMH The USA might not be an empire yet, but at this point if you look at it parallels Rome pretty well. At the moment it is basically at the point where the Republic is in full swing and all Italy is under their control. Give them time; the Roman republic went a good 400 years before collapsing completely, the USA should have another century or so before the troubles really start.
@TheNeverNevermore It's tempting to take your point, but not yet. Anyway, Rome controlled far more than what we know as Italy, far more. And for far longer than 400 years!
@msrockin The 400 years refers to the time elapsed since the explusion of Tarquin the proud up to the civil wars, it is not precise but certainly the empire lasted far longer, just not the republic. And true again that at this point Rome had Greece, Spain, North Africa (pretty much), Asia Minor and had just conqoured Gaul. The USA is behind on that scheduel, but I never claimed that the USA was an exact parallel, just that there are similarities in their development.
@TheNeverNevermore Check out US military bases, you have soldiers all over the mid east, Europe and E. Asia. The USA has an empire, they just don't celebrate it like the Romans did but it exists.
@Hitman250611 Yes you do have an Empire, what did the thirteen colonies after independence? They expanded across the continent through warfare with Britain in the north, Mexico in the South and the native tribes west. The US mainland is roughly the size of the Roman empire, furthermore you have client kingdoms in the gulf who you protect. You're occupying several countries at the moment. And you have military bases i.e. armies across the continent of Europe & elsewhere.
@ImaginedWriter a group of nations or peoples ruled over by an emperor, empress, or other powerful sovereign or government: usually a territory of greater extent than a kingdom, as the former British Empire, French Empire, Russian Empire, Byzantine Empire, or Roman Empire.
2.
a government under an emperor or empress.
3.
( often initial capital letter ) the historical period during which a nation is under such a government: a history of the second French empire.
@Hitman250611 Again compare the city of Rome in 753BC with the 13 colonies in 1776 to the USA today and Rome in 52BC. There was giant military expansion in both cases. The Romans would never conquer straight away, they would first create client kingdoms like Saddam in the 8-'s but if they got in the way they took over like Iraq today. The USA has an empire, it just doesn't shout about it but it's there and everyone knows it.
@ImaginedWriter just because we have bases around the world doesnt mean we control that country. we just have bases overseas. again we are a WORLD SUPER POWER. do you know what an empire is?
@Hitman250611 Right so the Japanese chose to give up their military's, nuclear abilities to you on a whim and the Iraqis and Afghans are in total control of their country. You americans are just there on holiday. And the native Americans decided to just exterminate themselves and give you their land whilst the Mexicans decided to give up half their country to you.
Either you are highly uneducated or you're being deceitful. You have an empire, deal with it.
@ImaginedWriter dude lol. we didnt exterminate them. Britain France(maybe) especially Spain did so.(u fking uneducated bch attacking me not knowing who i am).
empire means political control exercised by one organized political unit over another unit separate from and alien to it.
@Hitman250611 You are a retard why don't you look at the territorial extent of the 13 colonies in 1776 to the USA today. Are the Hawains or Native Americans on reservations not an alien culture to the Euro Americans who conquered them, and we all know how the Iraqis and Afghans are the same as Americans, right with the ability to vote in the US. You should just stfu before opening your mouth. Stop trying to deny the native american holocaust carried out by american scum.
@ImaginedWriter dude first of all. most of the land we have we bought.second HOW THE FK ARE IRAGIS AND APGHANS AMERICANS? ARE U STUPID?!?!? obviously u are! DIDNT U READ THE DEFINITION OF EMPIRE U STUPID BCH??! we have military bases around the world. BUT WE DO NOT CONTROL THEIR GOVERNMENT U DUMASS!
@Hitman250611 The fact they're not Americans but their country is controlled by Americans was my fucking point you stupid retard, learn to fucking read. And most of the continent of the US was not bought but taken through force of arms, or have you just forgotten about the Mexican-American war, Tecumseh's War, Seminole Wars, Arikara War, Le Fèvre Indian War, Black Hawk War, First Sumatran Expedition, Navajo Wars, occupation of the Philippines etc..
@ImaginedWriter have you learned of the lousiana purchase? that right there s half our country. WE DO NOT CONTROL GOVERNMENT. again we have bases there. u stupid brit.
@ImaginedWriter The Navajo are treacherous absorbers of other cultures, the best thing that ever happened to them was the incursion of white culture into their territory. This gave them the legal justification to push out and take away ancestral lands from other tribes, mainly the Hopi...
@TheAstonishingJosh . I understand what you say that they made Cicero into a politically devious person that changed sides more often than I change my socks(j not really). I think the producers wanted to portray a Cicero who was ready to adapt with the dangerous political climate that was Rome portrayed in the series. This orator, lawyer and philosopher was perhaps one the greatest Romans ever lived.
That I loved about Rome aside from the fact that every hot girl the show introduced got buck ass naked and fucked was the dialog is amazing, you got to love the psycological chess games they always play. Can't wait for the movie!
I loved this show. Marc Antony's character was fun to watch. The conspirators against Caesar made a huge mistake by not killing Antony as well. I guess they underestimated him.
@TheMontybach agreed, i liked the series, but what was iffy about ciceros' potrayal? My dad is a huge rome buff, and he really enjoyed the series, but he said the same about cicero... im just curious...I never got to ask him-
ppl need to realize at philippi, antony controlled one army and octavian another, antony beat cassius and brutus beat octavian, phillipi was antony's victory
loved Rome, one of my fav series ever. 1 thing always bothered me though was how they protrayed Cicero as snivelling and wish washy. Almost cowardly. Cicero was not a coward, and probably the fiercest defender of the 'Republic" in that age.
@Huganis Cicero was not a soldier, but a politician. His words was his sword, and he wielded it with the most skill at that time. May i remind you, that he WAS killed for his words (Antony was absolutely crazed with anger), which makes your statement alittle off kilter.
@Evocati2008 Well Cicero did have Antony's step father killed, so I can see why he hated Cicero so much. Cicero was still a coward. He wanted the job done, but not willing to do it himself. He was just like Demosthenes. He called the wolf out to play, but when the wolf came, he slank back in the shadows and let other people take care of the wolf for him.
To be honest, I never really saw Cicero as snivelling or washy in Rome. When he mocks Antony later and escapes, that's just smart. If you watch the episode later on when Pullo is sent to kill him, Cicero isn't exactly cowardly at all. He refuses to run and faces his fate. He reacts in a wimpy manner to certain events, such as Antony suddenly turning up after he's suggested that the Junii kill him, but I think that's how anyone would react if they did the same thing.
do they show his defeat in Parthia in this show?

What's the matter Cicero? Why you scared? Oh wait, I remember;
"If I ever again here your name connected with murmurs of treachery, I will cut off these soft pink hands, and nail them to the senate door."
-Antony to Cicero

@adkinsjr and later "Your old friend Crassus,when he was captured by the Parthians...Is it true that they poured molten gold down his throat ?"
-again Antony to Cicero.Cicero had to change his pants later.

This is why I loved the series. Each word in this scene is loaded with Venom, even the polite words are filled with threat.
There is no confusing the fact ever one in that room is an enemy and that the only thing keeping this meeting from becoming a blood bath is the formality of hospitality.

I LOVE how they didn't use the Shakespeare line "You too Brutus?" when Caesar was assassinated, but they reference it here in this scene when Brutus turns "You too, mother?". Haha! I always get a good laugh out of that. Brilliant script!

@Falcon988
The script writers are probably following Plutarch's account of Caesar's assassination. In Plutarch's account, Caesar didn't say anything but tried to hide his face in his toga.

I wish people would stop saying that "Rome" was canceled. It was not canceled, it was over. HBO did what they set out to do..show the rise of Julius Caesar and Octavian..period. It was the most expensive show in history, 2 seasons were costly enough. "Deadwood" fans suffered more, a 4th and final season of "Deadwood" was scrapped so HBO could do the 2nd and final season of "Rome".

AlexOfMacedonAOMH 1 year ago
@AlexOfMacedonAOMH The USA might not be an empire yet, but at this point if you look at it parallels Rome pretty well. At the moment it is basically at the point where the Republic is in full swing and all Italy is under their control. Give them time; the Roman republic went a good 400 years before collapsing completely, the USA should have another century or so before the troubles really start.
TheNeverNevermore 1 year ago
@TheNeverNevermore It's tempting to take your point, but not yet. Anyway, Rome controlled far more than what we know as Italy, far more. And for far longer than 400 years!
msrockin 1 year ago
@msrockin The 400 years refers to the time elapsed since the explusion of Tarquin the proud up to the civil wars, it is not precise but certainly the empire lasted far longer, just not the republic. And true again that at this point Rome had Greece, Spain, North Africa (pretty much), Asia Minor and had just conqoured Gaul. The USA is behind on that scheduel, but I never claimed that the USA was an exact parallel, just that there are similarities in their development.

Hitman250611 5 months ago
@Hitman250611 Yes you do have an Empire, what did the thirteen colonies after independence? They expanded across the continent through warfare with Britain in the north, Mexico in the South and the native tribes west. The US mainland is roughly the size of the Roman empire, furthermore you have client kingdoms in the gulf who you protect. You're occupying several countries at the moment. And you have military bases i.e. armies across the continent of Europe & elsewhere.
ImaginedWriter 5 months ago
@ImaginedWriter a group of nations or peoples ruled over by an emperor, empress, or other powerful sovereign or government: usually a territory of greater extent than a kingdom, as the former British Empire, French Empire, Russian Empire, Byzantine Empire, or Roman Empire.
2.
a government under an emperor or empress.
3.
( often initial capital letter ) the historical period during which a nation is under such a government: a history of the second French empire.
Hitman250611 5 months ago
@Hitman250611 Again compare the city of Rome in 753BC with the 13 colonies in 1776 to the USA today and Rome in 52BC. There was giant military expansion in both cases. The Romans would never conquer straight away, they would first create client kingdoms like Saddam in the 8-'s but if they got in the way they took over like Iraq today. The USA has an empire, it just doesn't shout about it but it's there and everyone knows it.

@ImaginedWriter just because we have bases around the world doesnt mean we control that country. we just have bases overseas. again we are a WORLD SUPER POWER. do you know what an empire is?
Hitman250611 5 months ago
@Hitman250611 Right so the Japanese chose to give up their military's, nuclear abilities to you on a whim and the Iraqis and Afghans are in total control of their country. You americans are just there on holiday. And the native Americans decided to just exterminate themselves and give you their land whilst the Mexicans decided to give up half their country to you.
Either you are highly uneducated or you're being deceitful. You have an empire, deal with it.

@Hitman250611 You are a retard why don't you look at the territorial extent of the 13 colonies in 1776 to the USA today. Are the Hawains or Native Americans on reservations not an alien culture to the Euro Americans who conquered them, and we all know how the Iraqis and Afghans are the same as Americans, right with the ability to vote in the US.

@TheAstonishingJosh . I understand what you say that they made Cicero into a politically devious person that changed sides more often than I change my socks(j not really). I think the producers wanted to portray a Cicero who was ready to adapt with the dangerous political climate that was Rome portrayed in the series. This orator, lawyer and philosopher was perhaps one the greatest Romans ever lived.

Huganis 1 year ago
@Huganis Cicero was not a soldier, but a politician. His words was his sword, and he wielded it with the most skill at that time. May i remind you, that he WAS killed for his words (Antony was absolutely crazed with anger), which makes your statement alittle off kilter.
Evocati2008 1 year ago 2
@Evocati2008 Well Cicero did have Antony's step father killed, so I can see why he hated Cicero so much. Cicero was still a coward. He wanted the job done, but not willing to do it himself. He was just like Demosthenes. He called the wolf out to play, but when the wolf came, he slank back in the shadows and let other people take care of the wolf for him.
Alexandros1294 1 year ago
@Evocati2008
To be honest, I never really saw Cicero as snivelling or washy in Rome. When he mocks Antony later and escapes, that's just smart. If you watch the episode later on when Pullo is sent to kill him, Cicero isn't exactly cowardly at all. He refuses to run and faces his fate. He reacts in a wimpy manner to certain events, such as Antony suddenly turning up after he's suggested that the Junii kill him, but I think that's how anyone would react if they did the same thing.
