Hi, on YouTube was a Forum Speech scene from a documentsry with quasi-animated scene of Marcus Antonius' forum speech for Casesar after his death. It was done in Latin, by a polyglot Southern/Central European actor, possibly Hungarian, Romanian, Slovakia, Spain/Portugal or similar.

The actor was definitely native/fluent in a Romance language, probably Spanish, and probably did Latin. The Latin spoken was Ecclesiastical but clearly spoken with a very good flow.

The forum and Roman streets/forum was animated, but Mark Antony and at least some of the grieving Roman Plebian crowd in focus were played by real life actors in period dress. The production was probably c.late 2000s/early-mid 2010s.

It was narrated by a Brit in a formal RP accent (not sure if BBC prod). I haven't been able to find it, and it's not listed on Mark Antony's Wikipedia entry, (in Media Portrayals). Not even ChatGPT was able to find it. 💀

Can anyone help me identify the source and title of this documentary, and a free source to watch the whole documentary? Thx! 😊

Alesia and Pharsalus are both fantastic examples of Caesar's military genius, but I think Ilerda should get more attention than it does. In this battle in Spain in 49 BC, he turned a bad situation with the forces of Pompey in Caesar's Civil War into a great victory with a total of 900 dead, and 67,000 total troops on both sides. This battle was all about logistics and planning, which are just as important in warfare.

Hello There! You may recognise me from my previous posts about our political sim based on the New Republic - well we've hit a good point in our canon so we've recently decided to do a refresh and reboot and our Moderators have sent us back to the Early Republic ~circa 17000BBY, right before the First Alsakan War! Our sim may be perfect for you if you want to explore and roleplay the storytelling, law making, and the politics of this timeline as we each play Senators of worlds of our choosing and try navigate the Senate of the Republic for our world and our political factions. We are very beginner friendly and always have a few people around to help feel out the ropes (a missed comma or capital definitely won't start a galactic war ) We are resetting as well so there's no better time if you even think you might be interested! Every few weeks the events team puts forward in-universe events which we as Senators must be deal with together (or not...) and this drives our new in game canon. Long time experienced players will also faciliate the fiction so there's always some crisis to bite your teeth into. The main action of the Simulation takes place on our discord ( https://discord.gg/fJ3b54DYJx ), where we coordinate, chat and have a community outside the more stuffy confines of the subreddit, but you can find a lot of our work on r/model_holonet !! If you have any questions at all just pop in and ask, or ask me here 🙂

Didn’t the ancient romans have a tradition in government that new policies and actions had to be approved while sober and while getting drunk together?

I am not an ancient Roman expert or even particularly enthusiastic about Roman history. I am just someone following up on a “fun fact” that I can’t remember is true or not, hoping somebody in this channel can help a lady out.

Thanks!

I’ve always wondered what Roman historians wrote their histories on. Were they scrolls? Primitive books? Something else? And how did other Romans read them? Did the historians have other people copy their histories to sell or pass out?

So when I was in college a professor told us that after caeser died, Augustus became emperor. And Augustus was determined to collect as much litteraly work as possible. Creating multiple libraries and what not . But the thing that's always stuck with me is that my professor hinted that the start/ creation of the new testament could very easily of been inspired by Augustus. Not saying Augustus wrote it but he orcastrated it... Is there any proof to this?

Shower thought.

Is there any source from Roman times that they associated colors (or even color patterns) with the 12 signs, whether a standard system or just people illustrating their zodiac representations (physical products) with colors?

So, I was bored and switched the television to some Trump rally type thing out of curiosity... they were interviewing this 12yr old kid about why he is pro trump... of course, you could tell his whole opinion was just parroting his parents or whatever... anyway, at one point, the kid says 'like Julius Ceasar said, 'The closer the collapse of the Empire, the crazier its laws are.''... I thought 'what the fuck, that doesn't sound like Ceasar and I don't know when he would have said that'... I looked it up to find it is actually, apparently, a quote from Cicero... my question is, is this a real quote and if so, what was he referring to? I'm not a expert on Rome, but wasn't Cicero around pretty early in the empire? What could he have been referring to?
