Brillaint score for a mighty achievement. I have watched the series over and over again, fell in love with the characters and found myself thinking about them well after the series had ended. Ancient Rome and Egypt have never felt so real and alive! Well done to all of you for such a brilliant accomplishment.
That's how you know if the characters are well written and then brought to life by actors. By finding yourself remembering them and thinking about them with a smile on your face well over a decade later. Pullo and Vorenus, never forget.
I don't know exactly what I feel after 3:00. It is a sense of something unexpected that happens to a great man and the injustice of the way it happened to him, which made even Caesar, his greatest enemy, to feel pity and side with him at this death.
If i had a time machine i would go back in time to meet the real Atya and give her a big hug. Also i would hug several other people including Julia the daughter of julius ceasar and the other Julia the daughter of Augustus, but only after i meet Cincinnatus, and Lucretia the woman who gave the romans their freedom from the etruscans in around 500 BC by giving her own life, which led to events that gave rise to the roman republic, with her widowed husband and Brutus as the first 2 consuls of rome. It will always be an epic story.
Pulo and Verinas were historical characters that were used to give a view into the microcosm of Rome, the experience of the ordinary citizen. It’s a device that works brilliantly. I don’t believe that there is any historic record that would indicate that Pulo was the father of Caesarian. But it makes a great story doesn’t it?
