Pompey Magnus. Big hero. He saved Rome from a slave uprising then went on to double the size of Rome's territory during the Pontic war. He was a living legend, and the defacto leader of the republic faction

So they just listen to him because he's the bff of the guy they're fighting? Why? What's his role?

Better than she deserved.
lol

Ian McNeiss is perfect in every role and his death will be a tragedy.
>t cicero

He was a Consul. It was the highest elected official position in the Roman Republic. There were two who served, Caesar was one of them.

HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME

>that older thicc broad emerging from the wading pool
yum

Cicero's time in the spotlight occurred before Caesar's rise to power. His power was waning and he because less politically influential over time. The weakness of his character is supposed to represent the rise of military strongmen.

he wasn't weak and his death scene is exactly as the records state

Thank you, fucking hell this board.

How was it so difficult to get that obvious bait satisfied

their were 3 consuls, Marcus Crassus, Pompeii, and the junior member, Ceaser, Crassus was dead making Pompeii defacto ruler of the republic, also he had the loyatly of the army, basically the most important thing in the world, having the loyalty of the roman legions

There were never 3 consuls at once lol.

too obvious

His death scene is extremely kino but the show doesnt do a good job at showing how his entire character was always that great

Sending a letter to Marc Antony about him being Rome's helen of troy was pretty kino

did I say "at once"? even once?

Except IRL it wasnt a letter he delivered that shit himself to the senate

What was his best role?
Also who was the deep voiced guy who spoke at senate?

He really wasn't, though. Things seemed better off with Antony around, than without.

Are you talking about the old guy?

if the 2nd triumvirate hadn't fallen apart the roman empire would still exist today

you mean cato?

I've never wanted to fuck anything more
