The actual marc antony probably loves this portrayal of himself xD
Wonder if they have TV's down over at Pluto's realm 🤔🤔🤔
@@thesnowfox7262 🤣🤣
@@thesnowfox7262 If Pluto's realm exits then it is also equally plausible TV exists there Lmao
I agree, but one thing that bothered me they never showed his generosity to the people
From firsthand accounts to his own writings, Mark Anthony was notoriously funny, I recall reading at a time they were at war he approached a Italian city that had treaties with Rome; the prefect was explaining the laws of the city not being required to Garrison a Roman army and in the middle of it. Anthony burst out “stop your quoting of the damn laws, we’re armed!”😆
I love his genuine glee and amusement when Caesar made Lucius a senator
I always interpreted that as Antony, much like Cicero, found his successive promotion and elevation again in class based on little and despite pedigree and his laughter is indignant cackling at Caesar’s lunacy and the political risks being ignored without directly speaking against him.
im glad you said that bc I couldn't really understand his reaction or how he felt about it.
@@jjreddickowns Honestly I think he genuinely loved it. He despised the senate, and loved seeing Cicero bent out of shape at seeing a common soldier made a senator. If Caesar had pulled a Caligula and named his horse a senator, I think Anthony would have died laughing on the spot.
@@adamhigh9884 hey adam just so you know caligula did not make his horse a senator. he simply stated as a joke that his horse could do the senates job. sutenious was the one who wrote it. you can search it a bit theres a video called commomn miscompecntions of rome. i used to think it was true too so dont worry. hope that
helps!
@@josemanuelvarelapuig5064 You are right, I knew that and forgot.
"I am Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, the First of my Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, The Unburnt, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Drago...."
"Porca Juno, what cack you speak. Would you just get on with your point?"
Imagine Marc Antony in GoT. Would be glorious.
'I shall be a good politician, even if it kills me. Or if it kills anyone else, for that matter'.
One of the best death threats I've ever heard. It's all in the delivery.
Love it! 😂
i enjoyed Marc Anthony he was good at fighting and having fun ahah 😂
"Give me your hands, brother Cicero!"
Great quote
The physical aspects of that scene were improvised by the actors. Brilliance
“Nothing escapes me, a pigeon dies on thee aventine,I hear of it” classic 🤣🤣🤣🤣
he actually did nail cicero hands to the senate door
Lolll loved it
The senate door disliked this comment
He stole the show. James ate up every scene he was in.
Not every scene
@@carolinelynch2823only one who did better was Ceaser
"Too many slaves you see, they've taken all the work."
The slaves painting the walls:
👀 👀
👄 👄
Are they slaves? I don't see any marks (scar, tattoo) or a sign around the neck such as Posca wears. I always thought these are the urban poor, low-paid workers and this is a symbolic scene where Marc Anthony gains the popularity among the people.
They're freedmen, They're wearing the white hat that symbolizes it
@@petrmaly9087 Yes, definitely free, and they're overhearing this, with the implication is that the word is going to spread rapidly, boosting the popularity of Caesar even more.
Probably members of a painters' guild-not slaves.
"Peace is its own reward."
"SNIVELRY!"
I just love how offended Mark was at the prospect of making a peace.
Slaves talk of bravery as fish talk about flying... And soldiers talk of peace as the sick talk of death.
Well the ram had touched the wall..
Meaning he thought the opportunity had been given to the enemy to surrender, and they passed it up.
Once their homes are on fire, of course, they always come back on that..
The way Mark Antony laughs at Cicero’s protest is funny.
"as a friend" he was anything but
😂
One of the greatest characters in TV history! James Purefoy absolutely killed it!
100%.. Best actor/character on any show....walter white from breaking bad is probably my #1..antony is definitely #2
Yeah he was perfect as Mark Antony
@@josephpaladion235 Tony Soprano says hello.
@@purescrub8187 tony is a good character...he isn't my favorite from that show..uncle Jr was my favorite.
Man this series should've gone longer. So awesome.
Too bad the third season never came out.
Ran out of money.
@@keyboarddancers7751 Everyone says that but not long after this HBO found the money to start up Game of Thrones which had a monster budget. HBO and lacking funds isn't usually 2 sentences put together.
@@firingallcylinders2949 Why was HBO so unwilling to spend more money on Rome?
@@keyboarddancers7751 because history. People would rather watch a girl riding a dragon than actual historical events.
"Oh please spare me the founding, Vorenus!" I laugh at that every time 🤣
James Purefoy is an excellent and underappreciated actor.
He did this part as well as anyone ever did any part.
Cicero: "As a friend..."
Anthony: "LoL"
1:34 Vorenus staring judgingly at Anthony but unable to do anything because they both know he sold himself out for the rank and money is so funny
I'm not sure that "funny" is the right word.
Praetorian guard moment lol
Underrated comment
👀 Vorenus has seen shit
😂😂😂😂
"I assure it is no threat, snows always melt."- best quote delivered👌
I wish I were able to greet my acquaintances by saying, "James, you old c*ck! How good to see you!" lol
Do it
You can
I did it. It’s great to see the shock on their faces
😂😂😂@@milanacs1916
Anthony as played by James Purefoy-- such a magnificent bastard!
Yup, those are the exact words that came to mind.
Really bastard?
9:40 Antony laughing at Cicero is hilarious!
Mark Antony was the heart of the show. Brighter than given credit for while also a slave to his passions. Funny, brutal, unfaithful, yet completely loyal to Ceasar, every time he appeared, you either had a chuckle at what he said or marveled at his brazenness.
Antony in Egypt at the end of the series is basically how I felt about the series ending.
"Caesar is my friend"
Half the time I find it hard to tell whether or not Mark Anthony ever takes anything seriously - except for when he's bored of course.
Fighting, fucking, & friendship is what he takes seriously... the rest is just bullshit that he has to tolerate cause Ceasar ordered him to deal with the bullshit.
@@nationalsocialism3504 which he does because of his loyalty to Caesar - even he could warn Caesar he was playing too dangerous a game but Caesar wouldn't listen
@@agenttheater5 Ceasar problem similar to JFK went way too soft... Hitler had similar if much less problems by not going full out like Augustus did. Just wipe out the opposition and move on with your life... don't let them survive but the Ceasar never really grasped the full scope of what the problem was and only focused on dealing with the symptoms.
@@nationalsocialism3504 Caesar grew up under Sulla's rule, perhaps he wanted to avoid becoming a compete tyrant. But once you go for tyranny its best to go all in
@@mortache Ceasar was a reformer... much like JFK & Huey P Long, reformers get killed since they aren't being serious about the problem & therefore aren't serious about the threat. It requires revolutionary action like Augustus or Hitler to effect positive change like those men did.
Purefoy's performance is pitch-perfect in every way. Thank you to the writers for giving him so many of the greatest dialogue in the series.
For sure my favorite personality of the show. He possesses so many great qualities and traits. I can’t help but admire him.
Purefeoy absolutely slayed this role.
Snows always melt.
Seems I need to rewatch this show again… for the 13th time.
THIRTEEENTH! THIRTEEENTH!
Love he’s being absolutely not caring for ceremonies
James Purefoy as Marc Antony in ROME season 2 ought to have been nominated as Best Lead Actor In A Drama Series by every television award giving organization. Its no wonder at all that the marvelous Polly Walker as the unforgettable Atia of the Julii fell upon the earth and sobbed her poor heart out at the gates of Cleopatra's palace when she tragically realized her beloved Anty was lost to her forever.
Cleopatra didnt know when to quit while she was ahead.
@@natemorrow2911 Cleopatra knew she needed a Roman protector to prevent her being removed from the throne of Egypt by Rome.
@heliotropezzz333 ironic downfall then
Such an iconic portrayal!
Antony pissing in Cicero's plants while casually threatening him is the funniest scene in the whole show IMO
It’s a shame they skipped Antony’s Eulogy
Agreed 1000%, its a borderline warcrime that Purefoy wasn't allowed to reenact that actual speech Antony gave that stirred up the crowd..
@@dbollman9036 nah, they cheated Purefoy out of Antony's most famous moment
@d bollman I can see where you are coming from, it's a mighty traditional acting piece. And having it in Rome might have felt a bit too cliché for the series in general.
However it would've have given James purefoy a chance to have a brilliant acting reel.
It would have sounded like a cliche. After all, who could improve on what Shakespeare wrote?
Idk I thought it was pretty clever since his words were lost to time
Mark Anthony busting through the scene like a fucking battering ram: *bRuTuS mE olD CoCk! WhaT on EArtH arE yoU DoINg hEre?*
Brutus: *Mark Anthony how nice～*
😂😂😂😂😂
Marc Anthony as a "politician" is the best... he's so gleefully terrible at it & just threatens everyone into carrying out Ceasar orders cause Ceasar order him to carry out those orders.
Who knew that former soldier's are not good politicians 😅
@@PrincessLockette Marc Antony is very good at politics in this series in a mafia type style, just not better than Caesar and not better than Octavius.
@@PrincessLockette historically, he was an excellent politician of the era
@@HarrDarr No he was not, he nearly got rome to rebell when caesar left him in control there...
I like Brutus' comment "Oh Antony how nice"
The casting in this show was amazing.
"snivelry" I have gotten so much use of this word thanks to the good Marc Anthony.
😂.... 'pedantry' is my personal favourite, whenever someone is nagging or bitching about something beyond trivial..
Genuinely believe that only the most charismatic people alive are allowed to play Antony.
Best character in this. Hilarious and tragic.
James did an exquisite, masterful job as Mark Anthony. My favourite character in all entertainment
From all actors that portrayed Mark Anthony throughout the years, James Purefoy is the face that comes to my mind when I picture Mark Anthony in my head.
Most underrated tv characters of all time played by a tragically underrated actor
We Should of had a Season 3, Man I loved this series
Marcus Antonius telling Cicero that he's merciful. The writers were having fun!
Why does 5:54 make me feel like Antony would have made a good fit for Game of Thrones 😂
"Summer is coming"
People wanted him to play euron
@@jordanwilliams1515 Doesn't fit. Euron is terrifying in the books.
Edit : hmmm it could fit. The problem is the writing
@@minecraftherobrine1234 it’s a perfect fit, he was a fan favourite to play the role and I believe was approached about the role but said he didn’t wanna be in game of thrones because of Rome. He said it felt like they stole there show
@@jordanwilliams1515 That is heartbreaking because of how true it is. I didn't know he loved Rome as much as we did. He must've been excited to act out Antony's campaign in Parthia.
Snows. Always. Melt. Pure 10/10 reply.
Great actor, and as chance would have it, I met him in a pub once in London and he seemed a good bloke to boot.
Finest acting performance in any series ever .. with the finest performance in the last episode when he found out cleopatra was dead... Well done sir 👏
lmao always loved Mark Anthony sense of humor
James Purefoy, ladies and gentlemen 👏👏👏
I really liked this series
Best actor for this VERY well written interpretation of this classic character! Awesome job!
One of the best shows (and characters) ever. Just wanted this series to go on and on.
Most of the main characters were dead by the end of the series but the old BBC show 'I, Claudius' carries on from the reign of Octavian/Augustus.
Marc anthony was my favourite charcter in rome. He wasnt the smartest guy but he had honour and was an amazing fighter
"Sniverly, the ram has touched the wall, no further."
Brutus was disrespected in GOT under used big time man's a damn good actor lol
He had a starring role in Outlander, albiet as an absolute dirtbag.
sIt dOwN uNclE
Thanks. Now I remember where had seen him 😄
@@malafakka8530 Ciaran hinds (Caesar) also played Mance Rayder in GoT
@@Pantsinabucket yes, that I know but thanks nonetheless.
“Do ya hear me, boys?”
“Aye, will do sir “
James Purefoy was great and very funny in most of his scenes...antony is the best one on the show..these clips are hysterical...Great show!!
"Porco Juno what cack do you speak??" is my favourite
He was so perfect! God I wish we got season 3!
A man of action.
Favorite character of an all-time great show.
Purefoy was good in this role.
James Purefoy is an absolute legend.
Rome was such good drama series. It should not have been restricted to two seasons.
Great series ever
Even with his bad qualities he was just the man to bring Voreanus out of his grief.
i need to see this again, anthony is too amazing
His face at 2:22 is so priceless
I found out that marc Anthony mother was Caesars cousin. Makes abit more sense why they have uncle and spoiled nephew vibe sometimes.
Nothing escapes me..
anthony is the best. I just loved him
Happy birthday to him ❤️❤️❤️
2:20 somehow i expected antony to say something along the lines off: "TRIBUNE mark antony, I didn't fight for a decade in Gaul to be called a general thank you very much"
That went unspoken. No need for explanations, everyone there knew his record and were terrified of him. Ha ha.
Thank you for making this.
James Purefoy played Marc Antony so well. Ngl he carries most of the scenes he’s in.
as funny as it is, this is how mark anthony was. there is written record of his demeanor.
The editing makes it 👍
Best mark Anthony ever
James Purefoy? More like James Purejoy. What a role.
dude went beta for Cleopatra
Can we also highlight how hilarious the reactions and facial expressions of the script who plays Cicero does? 😂
To this day HBO's Rome is still in my top 3 favourite tv shows of all time, so underrated yet stunningly brilliant and so sad it ended with only two seasons, i think we all would have loved this masterpiece to go on and on, instead they began production on....... Game of Thrones, The woman who plays Niobe and The guy who plays Brutus both had roles in GOT with HBO which makes me kind of sad as i much preferred their character's in Rome, they were wasted on GOT. "What once was is now but a distant memory that lives on in our hearts"
Hardcore Rome Fan.
Honestly, it wasn't that good. It took too many liberties with the actual history. It also didn't have any battle scenes.
I root for Antony because of John Wilkes’ performance. On par with Matt Smtih’s Daemon Targaryen for my favorite villain!!
Of all the faction leaders, Anthony was my favorite.
So many great moments. 🫶
Great editing
Cor blimey!! Mark Anthony!!!!😍
"Snows always melt."
I loved his interactions with Vorenus.
“I assure you it is no threat ,snow always melt”
Mark Anthony...what a great role. The actor did a fine job of it. Watched this series twice and enjoyed thoroughly each time. Wonderful overview of that time period. Ray Stevenson was riveting as Titus Pullo. Sad that he had to leave us at such a young age.
One of the greatest characters on the screen played exceptionally well by James prefoy....
He will always be known as Marc Anthony....Ironically it had only 2 seasons when it could easily had gone to 5 or 6 seasons
He is that guy you love to see in a series but if ever met him in real life chances are you would despise him as his arrogance make many enemies.
Love how Antony just takes over Pompey's house.
His best scenes are all scenes.
Great editing, best character in the show
Nice, Anthony was best.
Glorious.
SNIVELRY!
Lol he was amazing the entire show.
People Dare say Antony is bad general that's not true at all search up battle of phillipi 2 battles and he was caesars right hand man performed very well at the battle of Alesia , Obviously he a Beast Fools All of Them
Antony showed potential in rallying men and leading them, but when it came to tactics he always fell short, his campaign into parthia and the several battles against the roman senate showed that he was a good right hand man, but not a general like caesar or pompey, let alone his extreme fuck ups while he governed rome in caesars absence. And the battle of Philipi was not won by some genius troop maneuvering fuckery like caesar was renowned for, Cassius commited suicide cuz he thought Brutus had lost his part of the battle, Antony won by sheer luck, still a better leader than octavian tho
@@zikkimeister215 Yeah, he was a good commander, not general
one of the GREATEST mini-series EVER ... my only disappointment is that they cut this magnificent show OFF waaaaaaaaaaaay too soon!
It’s not a mini-series.
1:51 his face is TF
