That he even made it 15 more years since Rome ended amazes me. I know I saw him as a slave owner in a Spartacus show from 2004. In many ways his character from that would have fit well into this show since he was a Roman who was into slaves.

Being fat isn't actually a death sentence as is commonly believed. Most fat people live a full lifespan or very close to it. Only the extremely heavy (like, 600, 700 pounds) face a significantly shorter lifespan, and even that only averages about 10 or 15 years at the very worst. When fat people die noticeably younger, it is almost always due to either drug abuse or unrelated health problems (like heart defects), and many thin people go out that way too.

@masterexploder9668

Жыл бұрын

One of the biggest rumours at the time was supposed paternity of Brutus. Paparazzi's and tabloids would have a field day with this one. Officially his father was Marcus Junius Brutus Sr., but he died after taking part in rebellion led by Lepidus' father against Pompey. Unofficially, there was a rumour he was the son of Caesar, as Brutus' mother became his lover. Questions of his parentage continued to persist throughout his life, though officially everything was fine and nothing was proven. Still, it did allow his enemies to smear his name a bit. Name of Brutus (the one who ended the line of Roman kings) was important and by joining the Optimates against Caesar, Brutus did lend some legitimacy to the movement. Romans were quite big on names. According to Cassius Dio and Plutarch, superstitious Roman soldiers didn't want to follow Caesar into Africa and later face Metellus Scipio, one of remaining leaders of Optimates at Thapsus. He was a descendant of the same Scipio Africanus who smashed Hannibal of Carthage and they didn't want to end the same way. Caesar managed to find some nobody guy, who was distantly related to Scipions and put as a good luck charm on front of battle. Now if he was really a Scipio, I personally doubt, but Caesar, who was Pontifex Maximus at one point, surely understood the power of religion over people's minds. He was quite a believer himself, though obviously it never stopped from utilizing his faith in a pragmatic way.

Throwing parties, festivals, holidays and triumphs (when allowed after military victory) was important to secure an election (or reelection) to the Senate or for some other position in the government. Celebrating a funeral of your father was also a great way to catch some extra voters. Many people inside Rome didn't do anything important or their financial status was poor, wine and bread for free were great to keep going. City of Rome had enormous population for it's time and many grain transports from Africa and Egypt sailed back and forth. Losing these provinces in final centuries was one of the final nails in the coffin of the Western Roman Empire. Well technically only Africa, but Egypt stayed with East which had plenty of it's own problems and was unable to help.
