even though aaugustus is not as great as alexander ,i like Augustus better because of his genius!

Napoleon?! A hero?? As self serving and power mongering as the worst of them...
By: btbrotherton. on 14 Mar 10, 22:20:48
I agree, the show really didn't portray Augustus in a good light; neither, from what we know of him, was it historically accurate I would say. They do paint him as a very cold calculating man, but I think it's just intended as the result of what they had for the child character in the show, which wasn't really accurate either. The one negative thing I'd agree on is how they showed his skittishness when it comes to military situations, but he had Agrippa for that anyway ;)
By: Princepsmaximus. on 07 Mar 10, 22:47:38
@BloodyMargie Well, that is our opinion but my interpretation is another. I see there an ambivalence and it would have been not really consequent to show Octavian only evil in this scene after they had showed also good sides before (think of the relationship to Titus Pullo f.e.). And remember: Octavian is in the senate to restore order. His mentor Cicero speaks of a new beginning. Don´t forget: Octavian has a reason to be hard towards the senate. There were murderers in this house!
By: Princepsmaximus. on 07 Mar 10, 22:36:52
@BloodyMargie By the way. I found him sympathetic in the series...^^ But that may have to do with different views of history. Today we have a very moralising idea of politics. But we forget the historical tasks and responsibilities a nation and a great individual has. Furthermore you can state that in "Rome" nearly every important historical person is shown in a negative way. Caesar is not really sympathetic, Cicero is arrogant, Antony a drinker, Livia a witch, Cato a narrow-minded fanatic.
By: Princepsmaximus. on 07 Mar 10, 22:26:27
@BloodyMargie For example he cried when getting the title "pater patriae" because he was so deeply moved.
By: Princepsmaximus. on 07 Mar 10, 22:25:27
@BloodyMargie Okay, in this case the series was wrong because Augustus´ relationship to Livia was true love and he always had real feelings for her. We shouldn´t forget: Despite all his calculations he was also a man who had emotions, something that inspired him and what he worked for. It would be too easy to see great statesmen like him just as machiavellists who have nothing they believe in and that is their passion. Without passion there is no genius!
By: BloodyMargie. on 06 Mar 10, 22:21:25
And the cinematography, especially in scenes like these, are just too blatantly "Bad Guy" to think of as ambivalence. It reminds me of a scene in "Caligula" where a man is being tortured, and Caligula is watching, his eyes wide open, completely frozen, slowly zooming in on his face. It's not exactly an open-ended, open-question sort of sequence; it solidly labels him as "Evil" and no amount of exposition or writer's intent can override the emotions made by the director's aesthetic choices
By: BloodyMargie. on 06 Mar 10, 22:19:47
@Princepsmaximus That's how I view Augustus in real life---a true statesman and politician, but not very heartfelt. I think the series did him a slight disservice by not giving him any real chance to show any sort of genuine affection. His marriage to Livia is a stale, coldhearted, purely sexual relationship, perhaps trying to stick with the "I, Claudius" characterization, while he just as easily disowns his mother and exploits his sister to his own advantage.
By: Princepsmaximus. on 06 Mar 10, 19:37:49
@BloodyMargie Of course Octavian/Augustus is not a man like Alexander/Caesar who leads his soldiers and followers just by his direct presence. But you mustn´t forget that he always built his position on his auctoritas and that means his personal charisma. Charisma is not only to be a great orator and make masses enthusiastic, but also to constitute the own right to exist and make people believe in oneself. Octavian/Augustus was a genius in that.
By: Princepsmaximus. on 06 Mar 10, 19:37:11
@BloodyMargie Maybe you just see it with another eyes. But i think the producers didn´t want to show him only evil. In the Rome DVD they make clear that they see him ambivalent. A true statesman and politician, but not very heartfelt.
By: BloodyMargie. on 06 Mar 10, 17:36:35
@Princepsmaximus Wow, what show were YOU watching? He radiates nothing but blazing evil in the scene where he meets Cleopatra for the first time. And I don't blame him for doing so, either. I hold him in very high regards, but NOT as some sort of Napoleonic or Alexander-esque hero who sought to spread good cheer and benevolence amongst his people. He was a very cold, cruel, cunning man, and only once he was secure in his power did he begin to exercise his power with benevolence
By: Princepsmaximus. on 05 Mar 10, 18:51:22
@BloodyMargie I don´t think so. In Rome Octavian always appears ambivalent. He´s never just demonic. For me the scene shows a man who knows what he wants and who is able to submit fate to himself. A man ro whom belongs the future, chosen by destiny, the coming leader.
By: BloodyMargie. on 05 Mar 10, 18:37:36
As for the scene itself, how could it not evoke terror? The Senate house is dank and dark, feeling claustrophobic, Augustus's face is half-cast in darkness, with his cold blue eyes cutting through the total blackness that the whites of his eyes are cast in. He looks almost demonic to someone whose never heard of him and is seeing this for the first time without sound.
By: BloodyMargie. on 05 Mar 10, 18:35:44
@Princepsmaximus Considering the very hostile relations between Cicero and Caesar Augustus, I highly doubt he would have believed in him much. Not to mention that Caesar Augustus was a very cold, cunning, cruel politician. His coming into power is a very clear enough sign that Rome has ceased to function as a Republic---it would be up to Strong Men like him to maintain Rome and keep it from crumbling.
By: Princepsmaximus. on 05 Mar 10, 10:26:55
@BloodyMargie Why do you think the scene supposes to invoke terror? It is a new beginning and Cicero and many senators believe that young Caesar can bring it.
By: BloodyMargie. on 05 Mar 10, 05:07:32
That's not fair---adding "Alexander" intro music to it completely eviscerates the terror the scene's supposed to invoke

@Princepsmaximus You do realize my comment was utterly and without question sarcastic, right? Latin = SARCASMUS Please, do tell me! You can't possibly have thought I was serious. Lol. XD
By: Princepsmaximus. on 02 Mar 10, 10:19:46
In the first century bc we have in fact what is called classical latin. It was represented by great writers like Cicero and Vergil. Since that time latin language didn´t change much.
By: EricMetalGuitarist. on 02 Mar 10, 01:44:51
Funny how all of these ancient Romans of the late Republic are speaking flawless Modern English. Lol. I guess that Classical Latin was briefly out of style at around this time. XD In reality, Augustus was a military strongman who forced the old administrative machinery of the Republic to bend to his will. One could say that the later emperor Diocletian simply removed the facade that was the Republic after Augustus' reign.
By: Princepsmaximus. on 26 Feb 10, 21:43:38
You cannot really compare them. Different times, two very different people. Of course Trajan was the better general, but Augustus was the better ruler who founded an empire and thought in very long terms.
By: pissbur. on 26 Feb 10, 20:43:10
traian or trajano in spanish was the best emperor rome has ever had. he was born in actual spain, before hispania. he belonged to the antonia gens and he is considerer a better emperor by many historicists.
