Cicero’s reaction to that cold steel sinking into his clavicle always shakes me to the core every time I watch it. Another great reaction to my favorite epic. Thanks guys.😎😉
OH mannnn I was waiting for that review for the past two days!!!! You guys are my new fevourite dopamine dealers bruh :DD 13:05 Cisero was a great orator and statesman, he was one of the few "novus homo" (new man, basically translates as self made man) to ever become consul. His speeches in the senate and when he was pleading as a lawyer are still preserved and you can still read them to this day ! The actor playing the character did him justice, in fact the whole cast is great ! 17:48 bruhhhhhhhhhhh xDDDDDDDDDDDD yea I bet he still has her smell on him but bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh x'DDDD
If you go to the Pantheon in Rome today, you'll see written on the outside "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, made this in his third consultship" If only Octavia knew how Agrippa's name would live on forever.
It's a shame we didn't get 5 seasons, because there is SO much drama and story available in the history, but I think they wrapped it up pretty nicely. If y'all are interested in continuing the history after this, I HIGHLY recommend the 1976 BBC Miniseries " I, Claudius". Yes, it's older and made for television, and it's a much different style than HBO's Rome, but it's really well done and a great way to get a little bit of historical background.
The writings of and about Cicero were a major influence on Thomas Jefferson. Agrippa was a rare case for his times of a man who apparently everyone agreed was just an awesome dude in every way, despite being friend and subordinate to a ghoulish dictator.
There is a novel series by Robert Harris called The Cicero Trilogy. Imperium, Lustrum, and Dictator. They are fantastic novels and read a lot like this tv show but go much slower and into Cicero's backstory, which is just as wild as this show. IF you guys are into reading, you should check them out. One of my favorite book series and very well researched on the historical facts surrounding him.
Several people have said this on this vid and in previous ones, and I'll say it too. The award winning and critically acclaimed (but done on the cheap) 1970s BBC drama "I Claudius" begins almost exactly at the point in history that HBO's Rome concludes. It includes many big name actors in the cast that you'll recognise from film &TV (the title character is played by Derek Jacobi who was Gracchus (the senator allied with Rusell Crowe in opposition to Commodus) in Gladiator) You may think that Atia plots diabolic schemes, but you haven't yet encounted Livia Drusila.
Exit Cicero, the greatest Roman. Always loved this show but they really did him dirty. Mostly. If you want more of this stuff I highly recommend the greatest Roman show ever, I, Claudius. English production from the 70’s, shot on videotape, brilliantly written and acted, young actors keep showing up who are major stars now. It won’t likely get you big numbers but you guys would LOVE it. #YouFeelMe
I also love the books "I, Claudius" and "Claudius the God". They're not entirely accurate but I think Robert Graves made all those characters live. You finish those books feeling like the characters were real.
It was usual for an army to plunder it's way through a landscape. In the early 19th century peninsula campaign, Wellington insisted on his forces paying for everything so as not to alienate the local Spanish population, It helped to defeat Napoleon Bonaparte.
They probably didn't lose 6 legions. Agrippa said Cicero was probably exaggerating their numbers when he said 20, but that even if he was greatly exaggerating they would still be outnumbered.
The one massive disappointment about Rome is how they portray and emasculate Agrippa. Agrippa was Sigma before Sigma was even a thing. Physically strong and athletic, he became one of Rome's top 5 generals of all time, an engineer and inventor, an unmatched work ethic, loyal. He was Octavians strong right arm and a great man himself, but here he is portrayed as pathetic and laughable
Philippi "Fill-A-Pie" didn't go as you saw. Cassius didn't die in the way shown. Brutus's camp was overrun, Octavian's camp was overrun. Cassius committed suicide thinking Brutus was killed. Brutus tried to keep Octavian and Anthony from outflanking him, but wasn't able to. Augustus called himself First Citizen, as he didn't like the idea of being an emperor. He did make a lot of good changes. Octavian did argue to keep Cicero from being killed. Later after Augustus banned Cicero's works, one day, according to the Roman biographer Plutarch, Augustus caught his grandson reading one of Cicero's books. Augustus took the book from the boy and read from it for a long time. He then said, "My dear child, this was an eloquent man, and a patriot." A regret of Augustus's perhaps?
Your video froze for 30 around 27:50,.......Now comes the ""The Roman Triumvirate""..well remember Vorenious has given oath to Mark Anthony to the death, so it's just an order to him.. And Pullio of course follows along with the order.
"He's not a bad fellow, that Cicero. Not stuck up like you might think.".
Well, would you do/take IT that well? ...not sure i would = why i ain't remembered😛

"The way you did Caesar, bruh. C'mon, let's get twenty-seven swords in this man." LMAO I love your absolute contempt for Brutus.
Whether it's 'historically accurate' or not, that skinny posh boy walked into his death with head held high..

The most courteous assassination you will ever see.
Old Greece, have a few..
Marcus Tullius Cicero: 'Live hopefully, die bravely'
If you go to the Pantheon in Rome today, you'll see written on the outside "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, made this in his third consultship" If only Octavia knew how Agrippa's name would live on forever.
Great episode and I love when these drop that I watch them at work while getting paid haha!

Yeeeah man I Clavdivs is the best, a bit clunky for modern viewers but if you get into it... ⚔👄👑

I love Agrippa man. One of the coolest people in history imo!
Provisions...and other people's food.

i just read it last few weeks a show about the rise of Ceciro and Ceasar will be so interest even without filming the battle
And i pictured David Bamber when i read it haha!

With Titus, its just business. Love his dialogue when doing dirty shit.

So if you'd lived back then - you'd have a better way?
@dallesamllhals9161 No - that's why what Wellington did was so radical.
Cassius was actually a very good leader and general. He was just hasty.
Hi guys ,have enjoyed the journey so far. I mentioned before check out I Claudius as a follow up as it continues the story when this finishes.
HEY 21:49 'cause CGI-battle scenes are so great. TSk-Tsk-tsk.
Scarface: Tony, Manny, and Tony's sister. Same Same. Except, Tony is a different beast.
Another one in the books. Was looking forward to this reaction.
Atia stays winning 😂🤣
They probably didn't lose 6 legions. Agrippa said Cicero was probably exaggerating their numbers when he said 20, but that even if he was greatly exaggerating they would still be outnumbered.
Let me commend the both of you for your work ethic. Creating this content has to take some time and yet you are putting out once or twice a week!
26:37 and that's why would don't put rich kids into leadership roles.
Any chance you guys can react to banshee?😃
Naah! Deadwood, first 😛
Let's do it boys
The actor who plays Cassius is the same actor who portrayed Peter Cushing who portrayed Gand Moff Tarkin from ‘A New Hope’ in ‘Rogue One’.
..just that HE didn't really portray Peter Cushing! Oh, well. I'm sure AI will make shit like that "better"....

I, Claudius does right by him.
He is given credit for Actium though.
Don’t discount Jocasta yet

Know it 'cause You were there? Ave!
@dallesamllhals9161
Why would you think that?
Brutus was still Roman though and they gave him a Roman death.
Your video froze for 30 around 27:50,.......Now comes the ""The Roman Triumvirate""..well remember Vorenious has given oath to Mark Anthony to the death, so it's just an order to him.. And Pullio of course follows along with the order.
Brutus and Casius never had 20 legions,,,,Cicero was laying qhen he said that
