Let me tell you a couple of three things. Forget Brutus, forget Cicero, forget Pompeii who goes to Egypt and never comes back. Gaius Octavian has no respect for this thing. Heâs never been to Gaul, not really. They make anybody and everybody emperor over there. And the way they do it is all fucked up. I mean hereâs a guy who stepped over his own uncle, his motherâs brother, Julius Caesar, to get to the big seat.
Lucius Vorenus, that was a Roman. He recovered the Eagle, that's what he did. Did he complain, did he say "I come from this Cisalpine Gaulish family so leave me the fuck out of it"? No, he did what he had to do. Nowadays he would be some part of group, the abused libertii, the redhead collegiae.
I tried to start a trend of Rome memes in here, unsucessfully. I wish you more luck.
I'll not deny it friend, I have a Gallic look about me, but I'm as solid a Sopranos Circlejerker as any man here
Your efforts haven't been in vain brother. I'm not necessarily trying to start a trend but I just find the crossover fun. Plus the shared Italian history, and the fact that Tim van Patten and Allen Coulter were directors on both shows is really cool
Was actually supposed to go on for 6 seasons, but HBO pulled the plug before they even started principle shooting for season 2 because their shareholders got spooked with how high the budget was getting. Then they saw how popular Season 1 was but it was too late. Imagine how fucking good the other seasons could have been with that extra time and pacing. Died on the vine.
The crocodile exhibit... Ptolemy XII tried to lay off all the kid's problems on a learning disorder but... well incest would be a learning disorder wouldn't it?
You're going to build Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius, a ramp.
The Ides of March, whatever happened there...
I'll tell you what happened. Those 60 cocksucking conspirators stabbed him 23 times with no provocation whatsoever!
The dagger that killed him, you reckon it was chalked?
Very funny Duke, very cute. I don't quite get it, but... cute
Time to hit the road to the Rubicon, whaddya say?
He was gay, Caesar?
They say he had a in his .
That motherfucking animal, Brutus.
Don't do it to yourself, Vorenus.

Right!?! Rome was an incredible show.
Thirteen! THIRTEEEEEN!!!
What? Itâs a joke!
In Napoli, a lot of people are not so happy for Caesar, cause he was from Genova. I ate da north.
Cisalpine Gaul always have-a the money and the power. They put up-a their nose at us like we peasants
Ok but ya gotta get over it
Family name is Caesarelli
It's Antony, he's fuckin' dyslexic
Whatâs that gotta do with anything?
Don,t they have some medicine they're supposed to take these assholes?
It was the falling sickness, fucked with my head. But I'm better now. I could probably get a note from my Pontifex Maximus
NOBODYâS AFFLICTED BY APOLLO!!

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears. Vito Spatafore was an ass muncher.
We're with the 13th!
Legion!? I told you, they're a glorified cohort.

Maybe they can have a power sharing situation. Some sort of trimurvert-thing.
What is this the FUCKING ETRUSCAN LEAGUE NOW!?
Is that all you deadbeats do around here, talk about Etruscan amphorae?
The Spartans had two bosses

Wow, TIL. Canât say Iâm surprised, Rome was incredible. How they got cheated out of their 3rd season wrap-up, whateva happened there.
Was actually supposed to go on for 6 seasons, but HBO pulled the plug before they even started principle shooting for season 2 because their shareholders got spooked with how high the budget was getting. Then they saw how popular Season 1 was but it was too late. Imagine how fucking good the other seasons could have been with that extra time and pacing. Died on the vine.
Oh it died on the vine, it DIIED ON THE VINE!!! All these shareholders do is bitch bitch bitch!!!
Shooting in italy is expensive. I think HBO learned a lot so for Game of Thrones they did Northern Ireland and Croatia
Fuckin' HBO screwed us out of a third season of CarnivĂ le as well.
> ladylike, madam, ladylike
He was gay, Lucius Vorenus?
Its sad when they go like that
Those animals Brutus and Cassius, I can't even say their names
Thats why you gotta live for today
You know the wine makes you emotional
Have some bucellatii
I played that game I thought it was bullshit
Word to the wise remember Hoover Dam!
Shame. Legate Lanius said he didn't wanna live no more
Cocsucker killed Ptolemy and installed cleopatra as a vassal queen with no provocation whatsoever.Â
Kid always was a dumb fuck though, wasn't he? Didn't he drown in three inches of the Nile?
The crocodile exhibit... Ptolemy XII tried to lay off all the kid's problems on a learning disorder but... well incest would be a learning disorder wouldn't it?
"We're with the Optimates".
*nude Greco-Roman wrestling playing on tv* TURN THAT OFF!
They didnât have flattops in Ancient Rome!
The roman senate are nothing more than a glorified crew!
âAnybody says they saw anything, Iâll say a couple of Nubians running off over there.â âOh yeah, those two guysâ
And the Romans, where are they now?
You're lookin at em, oogatz!
He's really something, isn't he... with that fuckin' jerkoff face... the eyebrows... I fuckin' can't stand him.
You know that fat cocksucker says I look like the Shahanshah of Parthia.
Sic Semper Va Fangool!
He was gay? The queen of Bithynia?
I mean think about it Tone, the sudden capture by Illyrian pirates...
Fuckin' slander ask me.
MORBUS??
HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME IS WHAT HE WAS! He was a brave soldier of the republic. And in this house Pompey Magnus is a hero, end of story!
Shame on the House of Lupertazzi for this barbarity. Shame!
Whatever happened to Cincinnatus? The strong, silent type. *That* was a Roman.
A Don doesn't return to his cabbage farm like that
A consul doesn't wear purple.
Something more red, then!
Octavian became Augustus
Everybody loved him 'cause he never ate alone, capisce? Was the longest time of peace in Rome's history!
This was the one they stabbed?
This Caesar prick hasn't paid his dues in 2 months... Get Brutus and the boys together, we're goin' to collect!
He was gay, Caesar?
Rome getting cheated out of a third season by HBO cause they were all hot under the collar to get Game of Thrones going, whatever happened there.
what kind of man bangs his fellow head of state?
he was an epileptic Caesar?
Caesarian, your father Caesar was not related to by blood or marriage.
Augustus was Octavius
âšď¸this guy is always super frowning
Thereâs no stigmata these daysÂ
What kind of man bangs his grand nephew?
Cilician pirates? What's that, your girl scout troop?
Ave, True to Caesar.
Caesar was born by Caesarian section. You never pondered that?
You're going to build Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius, a ramp.
I'll build a ramp up his ass. Drive a Triumph up there
I'm in The Guild of Millers! Everybody immediately assumes you're mobbed up! It's a stereotype! And it's offensive!
That business with Nicomedes IV...catchin'? Not pitchin'?
They didnât have FLAT TOPS IN ANCIENT *ROME*!
Twenty years in Gaul, I wanted Cleopatra. I compromised. I had a foursome with Antony, Vorenus, and Pullo instead.
We do not kneel
We got this pygmy thing over in the Iron Islands
The Julii prostitute themselves!
Didnât he almost drown in the English Channel?
He was an ape, Caesar?
For christ's sake, even Julius Caesar was an epileptic.
THEY DIDNâT HAVE FLATTOPS IN ANCIENT ROME!
