  • :50 - 1:40 is fucking AWESOME!

  • and so the age of emperors begin.

  • best ending ever

  • lov this series, best series: Rome and Avatar

  • I know she did her fair share of horrible things, but it's so satisfying to see Atia get her way over that conniving wife of Octavian's!

  • Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never persistent. It depends in part upon the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him. And he must have a strong sense of the sardonic. This is what uncouples him from belief in his own pretensions. The sardonic is all that permits him to move within himself. Without this quality, even occasional greatness will destroy a man.

  • Atia's facial expression and the music makes me want to cry

  • That there would've been the greatest ending ever for a tv series.

  • It's funny watching Atia's reaction. This is what she killed for and she looks like she's about to cry. Be careful what you wish for indeed.

  • Damn what a scene... scene in 03:50 is like talking to us: "here is the time of the empire, look at this man... it's over... a new era is begining..., era of the Empire".

  • Thank you so much for posting this. It's my favorite scene from Rome. The look on Attia's face at the end is heartbreaking. I loved Antony (James Purefoy) and Attia (Polly Walker). They were extraordinary together.

  • 4:00 - Historically Agrippa and Octavia married and founded the bloodline of the forthcoming roman emperors after Tiberius (Caligula, Claudius, Nero, etc.)

    Atias tears @ 4:44 sum up hundreds of years of human history; "Rome" was and still is the best series of the decade.

  • @antikoerper256 Agrippa and Octavia never married. Agrippa married Julia, daughter of Augustus, which was his third and final marriage. Yes, historically. ;)

  • Comment removed

  • She bred that monster, the sum of her ambition was Octavian.

  • @ 3:50

    That is the face of a man who knows exactly what he did to get there.

  • AMAZING scene. I actually felt sorry for that bitch... a wonderful series with a fantastic ending.

  • Atia had Octavian and Octavia but does that mean Antony was the father of them since Atia married him

  • Did Atia marry Antony

  • @libbyluver5 no...Octavian wouldn't allow it and only permitted Antony to marry Octavia for diplomacy rather than over lust with Atia...

  • @akasha85 So he married Atia first then married Octavia or he was in love with Atia but couldn't marry her since he was already married to Octavia

  • @libbyluver5 the latter statement....Attia and Antony had an affair, even during his marriage to Ocatvia, who was was having an affair with Agrippa

  • at 4:15 was that antonys decomposing body

  • @ovireenactor yes

  • @SlyNicolai Cleopatra was not of Alexander's bloodline. She was a Ptolemy, descended from one of Alexander's generals. And the term is "Legionary". "Legionaire" refers to a member of the French Foreign Legion.

  • @historicalogicalness Oh but there is problem that by some ancient sources tell us that Ptolemy was bastard of Phillip, father of Alexander, so they were half brothers. And thus she was family of Alexander but of course not decended, his nly son was killed as a child.

  • Jesus, Simon Woods was chilling in this series.

  • 3:48 typical "I proved I am da best" smug expression... though a well-deserved one :)

  • 4:50 "FOREVER ALONE"

  • "When it was all over there was no Roman camp.  The Republic, that was gone too. He had become the State." - Cicero

  • hard not to feel sorry for atia in this clip loved it!the music made it better aswell

  • Fantastic scene.

  • That was awesome! XD Octavian's little bitch needs to learn how to shut the fuck up and listen to Atia.

  • I love how Livia got completely pwned by Atia. Priceless.

  • @jeffhardyluvr4life But if you know your Roman history, you know that Livia pwned just about everybody in the end.

  • @Anaxagoras1976 trust me. I know my Roman history. but that really doesn't have anything to do with what I said.

  • Truley EPIC scene, amazing show. I just finished watching the series for the first time, now I'm fiending for more. I'm starting I, Cladius now, hopefully it's somewhat as good as the epic ROME series was.

  • Love atia, she's the best character in the show. why'd it have to get cancelled. come on rome the movie!

  • i like how the eye colors of atia and octavian changed between this scene and the rest of the series. atias eyes usually looked darker but here theyre really light and it reflect how blank she feels and octavians eyes are so light blue in other scenes that u cant read whats on his mind but here theyre darker so u see the pride and determination

  • The only qualm I have with this series is that it didn't end right here. This scene is glorious and it sums up the entire series perfectly - Atia finally has what she's always wanted only to realize she's ended up alone and miserable and that she has made everyone around her unhappy in the process. That's the perfect ending scene right there, and not the stupid feel-good scene with Pullo and his son that closed the series.

  • @helgen86 been saying that for years. The look and the music should have closed it out. They should have had Pullos scene right before. HOWEVER, i guess its fitting that it ended with Pullo as it was him and Verinos* whos story these two seasons followed. They influenced events in the show (in some cases made them happen) too much for it not to have been their show.

  • Its so striking that to see in 27 B.C. Western Civilization is descended from The Roman empire was indeed polytheistic with no hint at all that things could be otherwise. This is a damn good video clip. Atia's speech of strength was powerful and reminds me of how far I've come in life after numerous troubles and travails. Good work HBO.

  • Shitty things happen to shitty people, you fuck with fire you get burnt.

  • Atia looked like she was about to cry. Funny, she had been plotting this for so long and ended up losing everything in the process. Blind ambition

  • Most Amazing series EVER!! In the end Octavian looked Atia and his eyes told her '' U cannot control me anymore'' ..... Atia even in the end has her dignity and her grace!!

  • my one complaint however, is that this season should have ended with this scene, followed immediately by Cesarean and Titus leaving the city, moving the conversation of Titus and Octavian before the triumph scene.

  • love this scene. I mean, the very last part where you need no words to read what is going on in there heads. And though it is sad that this scene reminds me that the Show Rome will never continue, it also makes me a lil happy because its leaving open the great mini series of I Claudius, a wonderful continuation of this show.

  • @johnkerry7 What's I Claudius??????

  • @ocmentos it was a mini series back in the 70's about the life of the Emperor Claudius, from his time as a young man in the court/family of Octavian to his rise as emperor. It basically takes place years from this.

  • @johnkerry7 thnx

  • 4:15 that was a mummified corpse of Mark Antony and Cleopatra??

  • this show was the shit,i was completly addicted,one of the most powerfull moments this

  • GLORIA IMPERATORI AUGUSTO CAESARI

    Sine hoc viro maximo, noster mundus currens pro certe esset nimis differens!

  • When you get a triumph, you know you made it!

  • Gotta say-all those flags and banners look very well made-perhaps Atia got them at the Wall Marts in Rome ?

  • What an ass Octavian turned out to be in this series.

  • Atia is talking shit to Livia, one of the most vicious and formidable women in the annals of Roman history...

  • If Rome wasn't canceled...9/11 wouldn't have happened, however that would work

  • @Kampex Rome was made after 9/11...

  • @Alexandros1294 Exactly.

  • May I remark what a f***ing gorgeous woman Polly Walker is.

  • I like the look Octavian and Atia give each other,as if to say-"All that -for all this" I was wondering,are those the corpses of Cleopatra and Anthony on parade,or figures dressed them.

  • If you think about it Atia pushed Octavian towards power and when she realized - like Cicero did - that she couldn't control him anymore, she was screwed. Although I found Atia to be a bitch (but likeable in some episodes) I really did feel sorry for her.

  • If you remember Servilia(sp) cursed Atia and said she would only know pain and that was true. Atia was very evil throughout the series and was not a good mother to Octavian or Octavia.

  • @TickleMehNancy I thought exactly the same when I saw the sad, resigned look on Atia's face as she sits next to her son. After all she'd done, despite having destroyed her greatest rival, Servilia's curse has still won out.

  • It sounds like the people are yelling "Defense! Defense!". ahaha, octavian on the rebound!

  • God I wish there was another season for this show!

  • I was watching a program on Discovery about Augustus Caesar (Octavian) and some Roman historians actually debate whether he was actually the first Roman emperor as during his rule he still maintained some of the republician ways. But when Tiberius came into power the republic was completly gone so some of them said that Tiberius was actually the first Roman Emperor. It was an intresting debate none the less.

  • @JRAV03DJE I would say that Octavian was the first Emperor he was pretty much a dictator with full powers acumulated.

  • Maybe so and he may have been a dictator with power but he still had to tread carefully and maintain some of the republican ways when he was in power and had to make many political alliences with many people where as Tiberius ruled as a Ceasar with no opposition or questioning. Basically when Tiberius was made Caesar everyone knew the republic was gone.

  • Sadly-a dark triumph for our girl Atia.She got what she wanted ,but at a terrible cost .

  • @newrochellephoenix She deserved it

  • This is a triumph, not a parade. :/

  • why atia is worried???

  • pullo has got the right attitude in this show romestreamsonline -dot-info

  • lol

    the mother of Octavian Ceasar Vs the Mother of Tiberius Ceasar

  • Why Octavian's face isn't painted ?

    And lol Antony, the bastard got what he deserved. :<

    I couldn't sympathize with him in the series, but J. Purefoy did a great job though.

  • Yeah James was the best Atony I have ever seen he did a really good job portraying the character!

  • @nosrslygtfo because Ceaser had to make himself a god first to the roman people so that by becoming a dictator was seen as something blessed by the gods to the roman people

    Octavian being his son didnt need to do that since his father (by adoption) Ceasar had

  • What an ending,really loved this show! I still cant understand why they canceled it! Best show ever!!

  • the main characters died

  • Well Octavian and his sons and that Family stayed in power for nearly 200years,im sure they could of got a few more series out off it!

  • epic ending to an epic series

  • Its hard to watch this scene without getting teary eyed. I think deep down Atia really loved Antony I also think she knows that its her fault that things turned out this way.She made Octavian what he becomes. She thought she could control him and use him for power but it backfired now she has the most powerful son in Rome yet she has no power herself very ironicly sad.

  • @Ashleypalmer1991 i agree, atia was one of the most deeply developed characters of the series, her facial expression sums up everything

  • All civilazation.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm amazed they speak fluent English too.

  • Yes this is all true 100 percent of it was true omg!!11111 yaa foawiefm11!!!!!

    faggot

  • that scene when he sits down that look on his face you can tell he's just like 'fuck yea' in his head lol

  • Octavian sitting in the chair represents one of the most importants events in human history... and it's very amazing

  • octavians parade?haha

  • does anyone know the name of the music/song playing just when octavian sits. It isnt on the Rome OST cd.

    thanx in advance

  • Unfortunately the music for Season 2 was not released. I think the Rome OST you are referring to is for Season 1.

  • It's also the same music when Octavian begins putting blood on Caesar's face in S1 and Vercingetorix is dragged out of the dungeon.

  • The track appears also in S1's soundtrack - Track 19 - "Triumph" (towards the end)..

  • Triumph - Rome OST, the song in the show was specifically edited using pieces from that track

  • yup, its "Triumph".

    Thanx to all. appreciate all the help.

  • @underscore0 It's the ending of "Niobe's Fate," a song from the first season. The Second Season recycles a lot of the First Season's music. This same tune also plays during the credits of the Season 1 finale.

  • @underscore0 It's the ending of "Niobe's Fate," a song from the first season. The Second Season recycles a lot of the First Season's music. This same tune also plays during the credits of the Season 1 finale.

  • @underscore0 All the songs in this scene are actually recycled from the First Season. The one when Octavian sits is part of "Triumph," and at 4:10 when Atia sees Antony, it's the end of "Niobe's Fate."

    The Second Season mostly uses the First Season's music. I think the only original piece I heard was during the Phillipi scene.

  • @underscore0 It's the end of track #19 on the OST, titled "Triumph".

  • @underscore0 isn't it the "triumph" track??

  • @underscore0 I totally have this track...it's called "triumph"....

  • @underscore0 "Triumph"....and it's on youtube.com

  • @underscore0

    Hey! the beautiful soundtrack is available on the website of the composer Jeff Beal, you can find it there. Beautiful and heart gripping music...

  • First of all is not a parade, its called a TRiumph

  • The music at the moment Octavian sits down is particularly dramatic.

  • I wonder if Octavian really did parade Cleopatra's and Antony's dead bodies around in Rome,hmmm

  • In this scene it actually looks like they used dummies dressed as them in lieu of their fleshy counterparts.

  • That's because they WERE dummies. The Romans used to present dummies dressed as their defeated opponents all the times during parades, it was a custom thing..

  • No, they didn't. Celopatra's body was taken as soon as it was found by the Egyptian people, and hidden. She was seen as a goddess, so they wouldn't allow it to happen.

  • Aside from being excellent on its own merits, this clip calls to mind a scene from S1 between Cassius and Brutus when discussing Caesar's chair.

    C:Look at that!

    B: It's a chair, what of it?

    C: Chair?! It's a THRONE!

    B: I believe thrones are a good deal more ornate. That is decidedly plain and chair-like,

    Would that Cassius had lived to see what a gold-plated, eagle-wing decorated throne actually looked like....

  • trevez789 ..absolutely right. Julius Caesar always had great plans for Octavian, and he didnt disappoint.

  • U people all should read a history more before judging any of the characters just by watching the serie..politics was always a whore...and no family or any other ties are sacred..it was always the same..

  • Atia's an evil cow, and I love the fact that she is there, impotent, at the center of power, and having no power. The evil schemes for power, and in the end, the son she turned on in favor of Antony won, and she had no way to control him. She had everything she wanted, and was totally unhappy.

  • maybe europe needs a new Octavian Caesar

  • Indeed. Maybe one will emerge...

  • ..........what a cold warmonger.........no, that wastried by a mr A Hitler-turns out Europea didnt want him

  • I think that Atia's full of sadness and probably regret that she helped mold her son into a great, but ruthless leader.

  • octavian was a genious

  • Thank you for putting this up

  • Good scene. Thanks.

  • Thanks for this! I've been looking for this clip forever!

  • Octavian was easily the greatest emperor Rome ever knew.

  • @DarkCrawler90 Doubtful, each emperor had to deal with very different circumstances...

  • octavian is a spiteful asshole doing such a thing to his mother

  • He dint do anything, he only wished and dint come true. Vorenus was the one who did it.

  • You know for how much Atia f#@ked with everybody, DAMN did she get hers and then some. Seeing her life's love dead, strung up, and paraded in front of his former fans cheering his death with the wench he left her for right next to him, in front of everyone and for the books, while her own son, to whom she was only kind of a jerk, sits right there HAVING KILLED HIM. Jeeeeezzzz....

    When Octavian said she and Antony would regret that episode before he left... he meant it.

  • When I first saw this, I almost cried while looking at Atia's face. Her eyes and the background music... of course, it looks a lot better in high definition video.

    Anyway, great TV show.

  • i know, I felt bad for her too, she has to put up this front, but her son knows.

    HD ideally, but this'll do for now.

  • ahh the Triumph...
