Rome - Mark Antony Gets Owned!

[eurasianchica]

I'm reading Cicero in Latin class... his speeches are really amazing, how you can hear his voice as if he were speaking to us now, even though he's 2000 years dead.

[Arppis]

COME ON MAN, DON'T HIT THE MESSANGER!

[aminoacid1648856]

lol Cicero is such a troll to insults Marc Antony and have others read it for him

[Falor5151]

Cicero used an elder scroll to insult Antony.

[MJFAN666]

I liked Antony.

[CHETNIK2008]

i used to beat with elder scrolls too...than I took an arrow to the knee

[KingMakerRook]

240p...we meet again, my enemy.

[Juhnimus]

Both Mark Anthony and Cicero were great mens, Anthony was great general and Cicero was a great politician.. Men like them made Rome what it was.

[Thongger]

only Mark Anthony can beat someone to death with a scroll

[YesWeCantaloupe]

I like how some are Antony fans and some are Cicero fans. Thumbs up for Cicero fans!

[sebs42]

Ut Helena Troianis, sic iste huic rei publicae [belli] causa pestis atque exitii fuit.

[siliyemoodislam]

For Juno's cunt sake, why no one uploaded that scene where Anthony pisses in Cicero's plant pot? Pease someone do that!!!

[drewbeee86]

go on.... go... on.....MMMMWAAAAAAHHHHH

[PersonalityDeficit87]

The irony of a complete bitch like Cicero telling Antony a "woman's role" suited him best. Everytime Cicero was face to face with Antony he was an eye averting nervous wreck. Total bitch.

[Nelsonhojax15]

@PersonalityDeficit87 Cicero a "complete bitch?" Do you honestly know any real history? Cicero is regarded as one of the greatest orators/writers of all time! He died for speaking out in what he believed in. Antony killed himself after botching up Atium. He was a drunken waste of a man.

[ryanhhcheung]

The senators are so scared, they leave! HAha!

[ryanhhcheung]

Looks like some one hs anger probelms...

[Mizukage6]

Hell I would have dropped the scroll and booked it.

[DorianVonKlaus]

@BoshRat

"This happens every week " hahha

Well that is Roman politics for you at its best =P

[DeftCrowMk3]

When you think of it, Cicero(in the series) must have personally despised the speaker in person for betraying the republic and sucking up to Antony.

"Most urgently 'insisted' be read into the rows"... haha

[arkbishopbonkerboy]

so the saying, "Don't blame the messager" didn't come from rome......or maybe this scene is the birth of that saying

[angrydead]

gotta work on that anger management Antony.

[spectrum99122]

Oh yeah, shoot the bloody messenger!

[citizenlen]

Senators: Lets skedaddle before Anthony has his hissy fit!. Haha, Cicero did marvelously described Anthony aka Rome's Helen of Troy. Kudos to the writers.

[Evenflowist314]

Lolz... All the Senators just bail

[SaintMichael1000]

Talk about killing the messenger...

[TheblackpoundCo]

That was so funny

[Javo1087]

Such is the life in the Roman Senate.

[spliefer]

gotta love how people start clearing the room as soon as the first insult is laid out.

[Letinsh19]

@spliefer They realized that shit is about to go down :D

[fvgdfbdokd]

Now if only Barack Obama would do that to Eric Cantor. Politics today should get bloody like the politics of Rome at the end of the Republic.

[TyrannicalTyler86]

@fvgdfbdokd I hope you die for saying this you commie fucking bastard.

[Unremarkable1000]

@TyrannicalTyler86 People probably tell you this a lot, but you're stupid.

[aminoacid1648856]

Cicero: Problem, Antony?

Antony: FUUUUUUUUU !!!!!!!

[JezSpice]

poor guy talk about killing the messenger.

[socalcraigster]

"Rome's Helen of Troy"

Ooo-Fa!

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

LMAO He just killed that guy and it wasn't his fault. Oh well, Cicero gets whats coming to him.

[MooseHunter911]

haha Cicero was such an ass for letting someone ealse read that... oh god

[TyrannicalTyler86]

@MooseHunter911 The series makes Cicero out to be some kind of a bad guy... same with Brutus. Don't let Hollywood fool you there are no good guys or bad guys. All of these men, for the most part where great in their own ways.

[ThePierrekirbyfanboy]

@TyrannicalTyler86 Erhh....No it doesn't. Brutus especially was pictured very sympathetically. The series does a great job of establishing diferent men with diferent motivations with nobody being labelled a bad guy. Your comment may aply to great deal of movies but it certainly doesn't aply to this series. Either you didin't watch the series or you didn't pay any attention.

[cheungwanfai]

old riding

[klesks8686]

oh oh, now he's gonna cut off Cicero's soft pink hands and nail them to the senate door.

[highflyingdwarf]

I like that everybody leaves without a second thought, just a general agreement that he's going to fuck him up

[zerker12568901]

"These being my last words"

[xubarze]

@zerker12568901 Ironically, they were.

[awamoriwhiskey]

Imagine if a senator in the US dared to speak this way to those cunts Obama, Bush, Clinton, Carter etc and the shit-kikes who pull their strings and get them to bend over.

[eXcommunicate1979]

@awamoriwhiskey

And Reagan, Bush Sr., et al.

[Falor5151]

lol at those senators hauling ass out of the chambers.

[minordanzig]

Cicero tells it like it is. You should read the actual Philippics, he really gives it to him.

[EmperorofTerra]

Mark Antony, this old drink-sodden and sex addled wreck is definitly not the one who got owned here ......

[Dakka1968]

(after he kills the senator) ''maybe i should re-arm the legions of rome with scrolls instead of swords??''

[Southenisland]

@WhiteManJumpin I guess you're right. I didn't recall those Latin lessons where I would be looking for the verb to go with the subject at the beginning of the sentence thousands of lines further down when I wrote that comment. XD~

[lokna]

@BoshRat lmao:P

[Pawnbroker00]

you can just see the other senators are like STOP READING MAN 

[Jc40k1]

did he died?

[20kiv10]

"You are romes Helena of Troy." lmao

[Southenisland]

He should have just done what my friend can do really well and make something up whilst reading. Though I admit it's not easy...

[MrGeek91]

Mark Antony was awsome on this series and even tho he could be a cunt was a better man than it appeared.

[iconzero]

Cicero was a slimey little shit!

[ghettodagga]

Man imagine if all the other senators said OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­H!!H!!!!H!!H!! Like in 8 mile or something i dont know.. :D whenever somebody gets pwnd .

[BeBopDeluxe85]

james purefoy was the best part of rome. One of my favorite characters, EVER.

[TheRugbyfullback]

as soon as the insults start senate: fuck i'm getting out now!

[Drax514]

I love how all the other Senators bug out when the guy starts reading the insults. 

[JesusDillinger]

I wonder if it's occurred to anyone that The combat battalions brought back from an illegal war in Iraq to be used against the American People in case of civil unrest parallel Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon.

PKD would not be surprised.

[Praetorian107]

your response sounds like something id hear from a liberal history professor. the liberal text book response really looks stupid. I am a Roman descendant, I know every detail, things you'd never know about my ancestors. You are confusing religion with corruption. It's corruption that twists politics, religion and commerce. For 1000years the Roman Senate was just as religious as they were political. The US gov't is hardly religious and barely 300 yrs old and near broken completely. 

[nbm34]

@Praetorian107 you have a fancy that the GLORY of Rome was something other than manifestation of the Roman state as the brutal conquering machine it was.. That your AVATOR is the FACIST guard of the Emperors, is significant, why you do not see these histories, in the real context, of what Rome was realy about, or how it was realy born. They plagerised GREEK CULTURE, and murdered throughout the known world to enrich the Senate elites. THIS IS FACT, regardless of your racialist fantasies.

[nbm34]

Further which is never taught in genral school education. The SABBINES had a handin eliminating ROMULUS the first King of ROme then had a king of their own nominated to replace him as the head of ROME. The absorbtion of Sabbines into Rome after their defeat helped in this process. THE RELIGION mixed with a magic trick at the ceremony, by a trained bird, presented as a sign

from the GODS that the ROMANS could never dispute his right to rule. Is the way

the masses even to-day are controlled etc.

[riniel17]

@nbm34 Thanks for the history lesson. And I mean that genuinely. I am not making fun of you.

[nbm34]

@riniel17 No offence taken, we all contribute together, such information that was once denied us. My regards

[Praetorian107]

@nbm34 The birds were not magic tricks but rather symbols. White pigeons represent purity. Such as the dove being the symbol of the holy spirit in christianity. You clearly aren't aware of how religious the Romans were. They started and ended senatorial sessions with a prayer. Poltics and Religion were intertwined. There was no seperation of Church and State. When Antony was made Tribune of Plebs, he had to go through a religious ritual before it was made offical.

[nbm34]

@Praetorian107In this instance it is quite clear the BIRD species is irrellevent. As LIVY pointed out. Using trained birds to impress the ignorant masses, the Romans learned from the Greeks. I am not confusing religion with corruption, because historicaly they BOTH GO HAND IN HAND. They are metormorphasised

by using the Gods AS FAVOURABLE to Rome and their will to conquer barberians etc, The Stoics and cynics

were the Philosophy of the ELITES. Even out politicians go to church. MANY ARE CORRUPT.

[curlzferrero]

The Philippics against Antony were really this spiteful and vicious. Cicero made a lot of enemies like this.

[HypersonicWave]

He killed an innocent man!!

[skaloon]

who ever hates Mark Anthony, doesn't know what a real man is. Mark Anthony was brilliant, best man ever

[riniel17]

So funny. But, I agree with hitman2actual. Always review message before.

[MICHELLEGIBBONSx]

Haha, stupid idiot. I hate Mark Antony.

[tazeverlast]

Antony was a bad mutha fuccaa!! regardless of the haters. so suck

his dead cock!!!

[tazeverlast]

Antony was a bad mutha fucca!!!

regardless of the haters!!!

[Agent1W]

Problem, Antony? U MAD??? >:P

[ornlo]

Romes Helen of Troy!!!....:)

[3101jimbo]

i guess this is where the saying, "dont shoot the messenger" comes from lmao !

[TrelosGreek]

I think all messengers need a pay rise :D

+ danger money for the highly hazardous employment

[mareble412]

I wouldve dropped that scroll and ran with everyone else

[ela1191]

I guess Antony has never heard the saying "Bad news, don't beat the messenger to death." 0,o

[jonwiley]

@ela1191 Rather, the classic response is to kill the bearer of bad news...so whoever had to read that hateful message was specially picked, knowing Antony would take immediate action. Two birds with one stone

[rayblack2004]

@jonwiley He's not dead...

[denispkpk]

"You have brought upon us war..." From then on Mark Antony's thoughts were "I KILL YOU!"

[erzan]

Mark needs to learn, never shoot the messager

[Str4t0sPh3rE]

@Renton6echo Correction; Read the scroll before hand first, and then pass the scroll to the intended recipient of the message of insults. =)

[3baxcb]

Word of caution in ancient Rome. When you read a speech, make sure it doesn't have anything openly labelling a prominent senator and officer as submissive as a woman.

[hitman2actual]

You might want to review the message BEFORE you tell it to a drink-sodden, sex addled wreck, who, is also a cold blooded killer. Just a thought

[EduardoElSexypants]

@hitman2actual wasnt allowed, messages were sealed =/

[Scipio2021]

@hitman2actual If I was that poor guy, I'd say "I can't read the writing, maybe you can" then hand the letter to the guy next to me, then get the hell out of there.

[VolcanicAkuma555]

@hitman2actual ive got a better idea. if u dont review the msg n u do read it to a cold blooded killer. run. DONT HOLD UP THE FUCKING MSG LIKE ITS A SHIELD.

[ThePierrekirbyfanboy]

@hitman2actual I disagree. I find Mark Anthony to be a very hot blooded killer.

[Serg223]

he should've stopped reading after the "please listen" part

[RavingDissension]

Sparing the life of Mark Antony after Julius Caesar's assassination was quite possibly the most significant political blunder for the Optimates.

[The09Gentleman]

@RavingDissension They tried to, remember?

[RavingDissension]

@The09Gentleman

I meant in reality. Antony was spared in the plot of Caesar's assassination. By the time the Liberatores seriously considered killing him, he had escaped Rome disguised as a slave. This bought him enough time to attain the political leverage necessary to ensure an agreement, which of course, he broke.

[The09Gentleman]

@RavingDissension Oh, I thought you were referring to the series' plot. My bad.

[kariryanisabitch]

they should of just killed antony right after caesar.

[roaringwaterbay]

Cicero later on was assassinated and Mark Antony committed suicide. Power corrupts.

[IDGeneratorS]

id be like fuck that im not reading that message.. and run away

[Renton6echo]

Moral of the story:

Read the damn scroll before you read it aloud!!

[dirac17]

Nice man that Cicero.

[JesseB954]

Hail Mark Anothony! The baddest mofo in all of Rome.

[Stingball22]

"But then . . . a woman's role has always suited you best."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHA!!

[Biscom]

I love you Mark Antony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LATIN CRAZY. ADDICTED TO CORRECT CLASSICAL LATIN PRONUNCIATION WITHOUT DICTIONARY.

[LordPlautus]

wow that was a weak move. Killing the messanger who has done nothing wrong but his job. That was the scene were I began to dislike Marc Antony

[Crazydog7]

That senators last thought "Oh Shit"

[brainsfallinout26]

I love how everyone starts getting the fuck out of there the moment the first insult leaves the messenger's lips.

[pandapop999]

Don't shoot the messenger

[snipetracker]

@pandapop999 I agree. He didn't follow the old Latin proverb: "Ne nuntium necare."

[MindingMyOwnBiz]

Ruthless mfers that's for sure

[BonnefoyEngland7]

xD i just love how everyone leaves when the letter got insulting.... they knew that Antony was gonna go crazy.

[annenna]

The icing on the cake of this scene is that it isn't far off the mark from what Cicero really did write about Antony in his Philppics. You can find them online. No one kicked ass quite so eloquently as Cicero.

[Bradfolks420]

@annenna Yea he sure could talk shit, but who got their tongue and hands nailed to the senate door.

[sucubus08]

politics use to be soo mcuh better in those days

[LordKaisen]

@sucubus08 lol well definately more direct

[Agent1W]

It's not so bad. At least he's not getting crucified here lol.

[x170063]

I think that senator should have read that message in private beforehand, I think he may have well given it to someone else to read in Antony's presence

[blackarawak83]

@x170063 I doubt that man who got owned by Anthony was a senator at all but something more like a assembly reader or messenger.

[slayr399]

@blackarawak83 you can tell he's not because he doesn't wear a purple striped toga

[EdM021]

What a nut! Flying off in a rage like that. I'd hate to be the bringer of bad tidings to that one.

[DraculasHenchwoman]

Cicero wasn't stupid enough to read that in front of Anthony himself! LOL! That senator would agree - wise move.

[summers1]

Two last thoughts of the messenger:"We really should start reading these messengers before speaking them outloud,' also, "o gods o gods aaahh (etc)."

[Bradfolks420]

The guy who plays him is a great actor. He also does a great acting job in that Blackbeard the Pirate movie/documentry.

[MutatioAesa]

@Bradfolks420

that was him? ;o

[Biscom]

Don't mess with MA!! O.K

[Biscom]

Rhat's gonna make Antony soooooo mad!!!!!

[Caribman75]

Mark Anthony go punked.

[x170063]

If I had been reading that message, I would have claimed to have forgotten my bi-focals and handed it to someone else to read aloud. Better them than me..LOL

[KingGopherNuts]

Antony is a BAMF

[Rayarena]

The Comparison  to Helen of Troy is hilarious!

[ComicBookFan97]

don't shoot the messenger

[Koguryeo19]

Marc Antony is one the best characters. And one of the most funniest. lol

[horribleuack34]

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

[imperatorcaesar100]

You could tell the senator reading the message from Cicero is in fear. He knows Antony's rage. Antony should have had the senator send a message to Cicero telling him that antony will burn his house, and cut off his hands and head, and fix them to the rostra.

[mychemfreak246]

Brings a whole new meaning to 'don't shoot the messenger' :O

[dontleademsomuch]

this is before they started shooting the messenger, just batter the cunt

[akashaIshtar]

HAHA 100% total greatness, Cicero is just lucky he made a run for it that day or his hands would of been nailed to the Senate door and him still attached to them...lol!!!

[vudumunqi]

Most people do not realize the connection to the Trojans and Romans. That's what makes the insult even greater! LMFAO at this scene!!!! :)

[frenchersfriers]

...but then...a woman's role has always suited you best

RAAA

[eoppen]

"You are a drink-sodden, sex-ridden wreck."

I want to be invited to his next party!

[S0vereignty]

"A woman's role has always suited you best"

ZING. Antony got owned.

[Alexandros1294]

lol this part is so awesome

[Dalbert342]

Best part is in the beginning...you see it on his face...he's afraid to read it lol

[2242bzo]

Messenger should have phoned it in.

[Sharkbait132]

Lol I think the messanger man just got OOOOOOOOOWNED!!!!!!!!!!!

[DjPetrov]

if i was that guy i would fight back and kill the motha fucker

[HundKaiser]

kill marc antony? good luck.
