About Beware the Angry Roman
Ave! Welcome to the Channel of 14GloryofRome14. The 14 in my name stands for Legio XIV Gemina, which defeated a force led by Boudicca of 230,000 men, while the legion had just 11,000 men. I will post videos about various ancient historical topics, and will also take requests for videos that people would like to see on history.
Rules of this Page
1. Legionary Titus Pullo is a hero of the 13th Legion, but look at him now: justice knows every man's number. He has committed a terrible sacrilege and he will pay for it with his life, as will any man here who breaks the law.
2. Brawlers and Drunkards will be flogged.
3. Thieves will be strangled.
4. Deserters will be crucified.
5. After your flogging is finished, if you say "Is that it? I was just beginning to enjoy myself," you will be flogged for another 10 hours.
