The death of Pompey as depicted is accurate according to written history. I don’t know if you noticed the lighthouse in the background of the final scene, but it serves as the model for the Citadel of GOT. Alexandria had a lighthouse and separate library that were combined in GOT.

The reaction to Octavia and Servilia... 😂 Old Nan: “Oh, my sweet summer child. What do you know of fear?” And here y'all are watching Rome... Winter is coming. 🍿🥤😌

Munchies, yes, bisexuality was a thing even back in Roman times....lol...😜

Eric Muirhead

The wild thing about this show is that the basic story is actual history. Pompei was killed when he got to Egypt.

Eric Muirhead

They were weirded out because she was like a mother figure to her and the age difference. It felt incestuous and wrong. Not because of the bisexuality.

Christopher Young

My comment was said in jest, rather than as a serious comment.

Seriously….watch I,Claudius and you’ll see what future depravities certain future important Roman figures would be famous for

I really enjoy this show with lovely Chi and pretty Katie

Yeah. Ptolemey thought that he could get caesar ́s favors if he brought him the head of his greatest foe, pompey.

Ave Munchies!! "there's no bad side" you're right. it's just politics. none are "good". caesar use the people to rules, pompey stay with the traditionnalist. and Caesar put pompey in a position where pompey couldn't do anything else. but let's see how they gonna go. for the episode Honestly, I don't think roman was this used to cut themselves to use blood in rituals. they mostly sacrificied animals. not themselves. it may have happened once in awhile. but not as often as the show do. the battle of Pharsalus. 9 augustus 48bc (an extremely short version) Julius Caesar's army 22 000 and 1 000 cavalry (all veteran from the gallic war) Pompey's army: 45 000 and 7 000 cavalry (mostly new recruits) the description of Pompey to Vorenus is accurate to reality. aftermath of the battle: 1200 dead for caesar (for other historians of that itme! 230 if we listen Caesar himself in his writting 🤣). for pompey: 6 000 dead and 24000 soldier captured by Caesar ( 15 000dead if we listen Casear...😂) But the war is not finished. but Pompey is done. they skipped the months Pompey hide in some greek island whith his wife to go straight to Egypt but that's OK. don't worry, there's no shark in the mediteranean. me too, I'm wondering why they show us Octavia touhcing herself. I don't see the point either. "They don't recognize Pompey?" they didn't have media like today. most people don't know the face of their leader unless they put it on money. hom*sexuality wasn't see the same way back then. the idea of being Bi or homo didn't make sense back then compared to today. Just look at their gods for one minutes, they do the same! Jupiter is know for having both males and females partners. But I agree . In this case, I saw them as aunt and niece, so it feel kinda ince*tuous... For the ending Pompey's death is actually going exactly like it was told to us by historian back then. so die Pompeius magnus!! anyone who know History knew that Pompey would die once in egypt. katie?? Ugly?? impossible! but I heard that you had a bad moment... I hope you're fine now. I agree with Katie, Pullo changed so much !! but I prefer him like that. he feel less wild. after all, he brag about his aggresion of woman during war... thanks for the good time! Have a good day munchies!

Vorenus is honorable to a fault.

Caesar not being happy after his win is a nice character note that humanizes him a little I think. Caesar was a brutal general even by the standards of the day but this battle was rather different being against former associates and even friends. He wanted a bloodless revolution more or less and never wanted it to come to this. I've been reading up on some of the other characters to see how this connects to I, Claudius and it's interesting. Most of them are heavily fictionalized here, or at least simplified, but one or two do appear in both shows. I really hope you give it a go after this, I notice a lot of people are saying the same. It looks very different - a studio-bound production that resembles a soap opera, which is sort of what it is - the squabbles and machinations of a family dynasty. It might take you a bit to adjust but it's well worth it, plus you get a load of great Shakesperian-type actors at the top of their game (you'll recognise one or two at least from things you've watched). Anyway, i am absolutely loving watching this again and so pleased to see you both so engaged with the series, it's a real treat.

This show's a bit better second time around
