- This is how Pullo and Vorenus really met and how their journey together has begun.
I am fond of history and particularly in the history of Rome and I share videos about it. Rome (2005) was one the best tv show and also some kind of documentary. I claim no rights of the videos I share

I like how the soldier next to Vorenas didn’t hesitate to put Pullo down, after Pullo punched Vorenas. We’ll written show.
Lots of people like to compare the centurion to the modern day NCO. But the reality is that a centurion is more on the lines of a Lieutenant and even Captain. So, imagine assaulting your own executive officer. You would likely get shot.
@@fragoutrambo6381 Closest modern equivalent would probably be Warrant Officers.
@@fragoutrambo6381 Yeah as I undersrand it Centurions and their vine staffs were despised by their men.
Centirion commanded various tactical units. These were centuriae, maniples and cohorts. There are 100-120 people in the centuria, more than 600 people in the cohort. Therefore, yes, the centurion was equivalent to a lieutenant and even a major, so 600 people is a whole battalion. A battalion is usually commanded by a captain or major. No comparison to a non-commissioned officer.
@@iratepirate3896 I wouldn't agree with this statement. Just like any officer, they are not always loved, but Julius Caesar promoted most of his Centurions from the Legionnaire ranks for Valor and Bravery. Unlike modern day Officers, Centurions always fought at the front.
What a smart system of rotating soldiers with the second row jumping into action against a tiring combat opponent.
This fascinates me. But it makes good practice, fighting for your life will exhaust you in a very short time.
@@user-bi9nu8lq5g I once read a book on Roman warfare that when it came to energy usage it compared fighting as a legionary to boxing. Admittedly not a perfect comparison but an interesting one.
This scene makes me laugh everytime i see it because in Poland there was this once popular anegdote (it did really happen though) about this huge brawl between hooligan firms from two major cities, lets say it was 50vs50 (organised beforehand to be done in a forrest hidden from public as to not disturb anyone), and one firm basically implemented this exact tactic, leaving some men to avoid fighting at first, and then by the end when after 7 or 10 minutes both sides were terribly tired and their group was losing badly, switch the most tired ones for the fresh ones, completely changing the tide of the brawl and ultimately wiping the floor with the other firm.
I can just imagine half braindead hooligans yelling CEASAR! CEASAR! Once they won
@@aw2584What are you talking about. I don't know what circles you've been hanging around, but brawls between thugs aren't a subject of popular anecdotes.
@@zlosliwa_mendaits Poland, they have been through alot for a long time, probably needed to get some anger out.
"Legionnaire Titus Pullo a hero of the 13th Legion, but look at him now ..." If I decide to be a manager, I'll have to say something like that one day
Sounds cringe
@@balabanasireti Upload more videos
Manage these 🥜
"Assistant Manager Jake Johnson is Employee of the Month of the Joplin Wal-Mart, but look at him now..."
Legionary Titus Pullo won't be getting back in formation anymore. RIP 😢
He will always be a legionnaire.
Requiescat in pace
For the 13th
The Roman army was excellent at crowd control.
so excellent that manifestations police around the world still use the same tactics.
@@walkerzven4972 The word you're looking for here is "riot", my friend. Riot police.
@@MrFreakHeavy...Which consists of police officers drawn from multiple areas. There is no "branch" of police whose only purpose it is to deal with riots.
Riots are way to rare for that.
@@m.j.9318 Tell that to France Lol
@@redlightg27 ...used to be rare. Sadly not anymore now. Due to multiple political shitshows from the higher ups.
RIP Ray Stevenson
Rest in peace, Ray.
Aw, no.
Too bad this show never got the love it deserved
I'm sure it did. The problem was that hbo canceled it after its second season
@@blueberrygod8275 they also condensed a lot in 2nd season. It was an expensive show.
Didnt get the love GOT did in a continued budget.
@@blueberrygod8275 After learning what the 5 seasons would've been, shame on HBO for such barbarity. Shame
@@RockSmithStudio cancelling this show was such a cardinal sin, and for what? dragons and dwarves? gott in himmel, give me Augustus sending germans to their gods in the afterlife!
Shame on the house of HBO. Shame.
They held him for 5 years in a dungeon then he was strangled. After being led thru the streets of Rome of course.
Before anyone says "No? Pullo was fine? " , it is about Vercengetorix, leader of united Gaul's; whom surrenders here in this scene.
He did get a raw deal. Caesar had four Triumphs with his being first. They strangled Vercingetorix with no problem. But after him was Cleopatra's sister and the Romans got upset at the idea of strangling her and got feisty so he spared her. No one really knows much about the triumph he had for his Asia Minor campaign as the whole thing was underwhelming (the campaign and the triumph for it). Then was some little kid who was only there because his father, the king, died. The Romans didn't like the idea of killing the boy and they almost rioted on Caesar, so he let him go and enrolled him in school.
@@DrForrester87 Maybe the kid you mentioned was the son of Pharnaces II, King of Pontus. Caesar defeated him in the battle of Zela in 47BC after finishing up his campiagn against the Ptolemies in Egypt.
@@mcrae6279 I decided not to be lazy and looked it up, it was Juba II. I guess he actually enjoyed the Triumph, probably because at four or five he didn't understand what the Triumph was. I guess he was friends with Augustus and married Cleopatra and Marc Antony's daughter Cleopatra Selene II.
@@DrForrester87 ahhh I see, he was the Numidian king right?
This show is what got me so fascinated about Rome! It is way underrated. Rest in Peace to Ray.
Stop using that word!
@@balabanasireti what word
Posca sees this for what it is - another notch in Caesar's belt, another region brought low for the glory of Rome.
Sean Penn... 2:12
THIRTEEN!!!! RIP RAY PULLO
Vercingetorix's army was not like this at all. It was much more on par with the Roman one and after 8 years of fighting the soldiers would not be running at the Roman army screaming. They were highly disciplined and Roman battle tactics were no secret to them. The Romans were afraid that the tribal peoples' would learn from the Roman system and create rival states which is one of Caesar's justifications for his conquest. Eventually that exact thing happened so the Romans were not wrong to fear them.
Just like the romans, Gaulic tribes used Auxilliary in their forces to get a bigger number. I expect that this would be the case.
Other than that, this is Roman propoganda, the winner writes the history right? :P
@@dutch1987 Good point on the auxiliaries I hadn't considered that.
I think there are two things at play here. First, they likely wanted to contrast the two armies, with Romans being highly organized and well equipped, and Gauls having less armour and having a looser structure, but they went too far. Second, I think what we're seeing here is the very end of the Gallic Wars, probably 50 BC, when the Gauls were thoroughly beaten, and their military only a shadow of its former self. This doesn't match Vercingetorix' surrender, which happened 2 years earlier, but the showrunners probably thought they could get away with a little shift for the sake of narrative.
@@zlosliwa_menda Good points I agree on both
The Gauls were formidable enough that they had a serious shot at repelling the Romans altogether.
Tragically for them though, these particular Romans happened to be led by one of the most capable military commanders in history.
I've always missed it before, but Posca's expression here is poignant.
Anyone else hear after their wife asked them how often they think about the Roman Empire?
I've taken a break of thinking about the Roman empire to watch clips of HBO's Rome
What a crew! No wonder us what are now known as British,, were dominated by them back in the day! Still have old Roman roads and other stuff courtesy of their legacy.
Almost none of today British people have at least smth common with old britons
@@NiktoPH wrong most brits at most have 25 to 30% anglo saxon blood.. the rest is native briton and that increases the more west u go like in wales etc
@@ivansoric7820 Most Brits don’t even look Saxon or Dane anymore. Blonde hair is so rare there.
RIP Ray Stevenson.....13th!!!!!!
Every epic show requires an epic opening battle :3
Why is every or most uploads, have the brightness turned down. Can see a toga!
"get back in formation you drunken fool "
Realism truly honours the greatness that was the Roman Empire and this series evidently knew such.
Brilliant HBO show
lol.. haven't seen this whole series. AS soon as dude left formation and did not return my first thought, oh, he's getting whipped.
Like a true centurion Vorenus is always in the frontline.
we need a rome remake
Imagine vc enfrentar um monte de machado encima de você! Tinha que ser muito macho!
We acting like that’s not Sean Penn?
Was that SCP 096’s scream at 1:12???
Like Play on chess between Rome And The tribal Soldiers
I get more blood on me just waking up in the morning.
Imperator was rather than cesar
Thieves will be strangled
Shame they don't do that in the british army, that's full of drunks, thieves and brawlers - generally total distrust amongst the ranks.
That's why the Romans were the most disciplined force on earth for 100s of years. You should search up decimation.
This show laid the ground work for HBO to make GOT.
the Centurian would not have broken formation to help an idiot ...... the Roman's success was based on supreme discipline...
RIP Rae Stevenson
