Man it's a shame that this series didn't get the time on air it deserved and if it was only for the memes that would come of it. Nevermind the genius writing and the spectacular theme of the era.
Marcus Agrippa was Augustus' best friend, a most trusted confidant and his military back bone. All the battles that Augustus has won were in reality won by Agrippa. He was his admiral in the seas, his general in the fields, and yet Agrippa never wanted anything in return. A moment shared between Octavian and Ceasar happened where the latter was sizing up people to be killed. At the request of his friend Agrippa who was studying in Illyria at the time, he asked of Ceasar to spare his friend's father, not knowing for sure what Ceasar would say or how would he react to an odd request from Octavian. It was then most scholars think why Agrippa had such an undying fidelity to his liege, Augustus. Upon learning that Agrippa had fallen sick in Brundisium and despite his old age, Augustus rushed to his friend without rest but arrived unfortunately late for his friend's final breath.

@Gabby Mouse You're judging her from a standpoint of today's societal morals and values.

I'll grant you that seducing her own brother was disgusting, but again, royal families have practiced marital coupling between close relatives for centuries. Sleeping with Servilia is hardly whorish behavior, the old girl still kept it together well.

Less of women not having any power and more of the fact that Roman culture expected men to be virile and have a very strong spine. In addition, the threat was given because Atia impugned Octavia’s honor (even though it was probably justified, an honorable Roman man would defend the woman he loves)
Agrippa really got the short shrift in this show. One of the most powerful Romans in history, second-best general of the civil wars and he looks like Samwise Gamgee.
I mean, in a well crafted story not everyone can be badass at the same time, or it just feels like nobody is. They wrote Agrippa to be the straight-laced loyal puppy to Octavian to serve as a foil to other characters with less moral standing.
How strange. Attia loved Marc Antony, but Octavia married him. Octavia on the other hand was loved by Agrippa (here at least), but her daughter married him. Meanwhile, Livia's son Drusus married Octavia's youngest daughter by Marc Antony, and their son married Octavian's granddaughter. Octavian's own daughter married first Octavia's son, then Agrippa, then Livia's son, who was first married to Agrippa's daughter. Didn't anyone taking a step back and saying 'whoa!' to all of this?
+Nadya Yap Everyone fucking everyone and getting fucked by everyone. Its called a family, "familia romana" Lets not forget though that this family was one of, if not THE MOST POWERFUL families at the time, family of Ceasar and the future first emperor, Augustus, a family that ruled over an Empire spanning 3 continents, dozens of nations and 50 million souls. For them, marriage was simply a power game.
Yes, they're all insane. They never took a step back and thought about all the trouble that they would cause with all these crazy marriages- some of them like Augustus' daughter's and Livia's son's marriage- had disastrous consequences. Others were happy though- until someone got killed
+create flare Exactly. It is interesting to note Julia'a other paramours were simply exiled. He was the only one to be condemned to death. There is a strange story about him planning to depose Augustus, to marry Julia and to rule as regent for her sons. I don't know if it is true but that could explain Augustus' decision to kill him and to exile Julia (I doubt he did it because of a simple sex story).
The romance between octavia and Agrippa however very moving and passionate didn't probaly happen. Octavia was 6-7 years older than Agrippa. She was a wife of certain Marcus Marcellus. Drusus maried Antonia, and Tiberius was a husband of Vipsania, the daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. Julia was in love with him but he didn't love her. Uhappily married to Agrippa and later to Tiberius, she had many lovers including the younger son of Marcus Antonius, Jullus Antonius. Both Julia and Jullus was condemned to death sentece. However, in Julia's case it lasted longer.
So then you havent watched Sopranos and Deadwood? They top even Got and Rome. Great script and directing and you get shows like these with producers who dont want to dumb down series to wider audience.
Sopranos and Deadwood are limited to a specific genre audience. I never thought either was particularly great, because I am not that interested in those genres.

Eh..maybe? Maybe more "natural" I guess, but definitely not as potent as today. I only say that since the first scene of "drug use" I saw in this series was when they were freebasing hemp, as they called it. Not exactly my idea of "good drugs" when they're doing that instead of actually smoking mj.
@Crimson "Drugs werent actualy ivented" Unless they are synthetic, drugs can't be "invented", they can only be "discovered". Just a nitpick. A little more than a nitpick: Consumption of drugs in order to alter one's consciousness goes back to long before Roman times. Opium was known and used as an intoxicant as far back as the ancient Sumerians- about 5000 BCE. Opium had its own ideogram in their alphabet. Ancient Sumer is- along with ancient Egypt- pretty much the earliest civilization that we have written records of, and they used drugs. Every civilization and culture ever since that time knew of and used drugs. Throughout history humans have always been taking drugs, they didn't have to be "invented".
I love how utterly relatable this show is to the modern world. Down to the rich girl smoking weed and going to parties with her bad influence friend, to the disapproval of her mother.
saltytrey true! :) In reality Agrippa was really something like the estate manager in Augustus's Rome. It was he who ordered all the renovation and construction works and built new edifices on behalf of Augustus. Actually what we can see in modern Rome as vestiges of Augustian Rome we owe as much to Octavian as to Marcus Agrippa. Besides, he and Octavia were such a lovely couple, even if it is probably not true.
talos40200 As far as his service for Caesar, he was so young, that it would be difficult to call him admiral (born 62 or 63 bc, he was 21 when Caesar was assassinated). It was however Caesar, who recognized his military talent sent him to the academy in Apollonia, where he met Octavian. As far as his service for Octavian Augustus, he led the sea battles as well, as fought on the land. He invented many "devices" to lead the battle more effectively.Apart from that he was responsible for rebuilding the sewage system, building aqueducts, public facilities, and generally -rebuilding the entire Rome - on the direct orders of Augustus, but partly for his own money. Calling him"a real estate manager" was just a joke referring to another role of the actor playing Agrippa but fitting very well to his real position.
There were 2 types at least in reality. 1 being the rituals you speak of in honour of Bacchus, then there were those that some nobles would throw away at private parties, these were simply for entertainment and were the ones that more pious people frowned upon. Seems hipocritical but these people had a really good separation between something done to honour their gods and somehing done for any other reason.
It is well known that Agrippa was the second most powerful person in the empire, behind Augustus. In fact without Agrippa then Augustus would have never become Emperor of Rome. He won battles which Augustus himself could not win, and even built public works which won the admiration of Rome. It annoys me when people say Augustus turned the city of Rome from brick to marble when it was Agrippa who started the transformation. So if this really happened Atia would not have said that.
@Oldcartoons571 Sextus defeated Octavian badly in which he gained control of the coasts. Agrippa was called back to become Consul and prepare for further war. He managed to do not only that but defeated Sextus in which he gave credit to Octavian.
@@StarboyXL9 Not really - the Western Empire collapsed after Christianity was adopted, the Eastern went on for many more centuries and was only completely killed off by the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
