really liking Titus Pullo's character development. never would have guessed he was a likable goofy guy from how he was in EP1. Mr Blue Eyes being a good soldier but having bad people skills is pretty interesting as well. My father was like that...really competent and respected in the millitary but struggled showing affection to his family (still love him though)

2024-07-25 01:10:57 +0000 UTCThis may be a thing you guys already know, but it's one of the few things I know about ancient Rome so I'll throw it out there. There's an expression that you still hear today (not super common, but it comes up) - "crossing the Rubicon." To "cross the Rubicon" means to do something risky that you can't take back. Put your money down on a house or tell your boss to go fuck himself or ask some girl to marry you? You crossed the Rubicon dude, no takebacks. The expression comes from the events at the end of this episode. The Rubicon was a river on the border of Italy, Roman law was that no Legion was ever allowed to enter Italy under arms - to do so was treason. This is how the Roman Republic tried to prevent ambitious generals from taking over - if you came to Rome, you couldn't bring your army with you. That's why Vorenus panics at the end of this episode - he realizes they've crossed the Rubicon and are all now traitors. no matter what happens. This event, Caesar crossing the Rubicon and marching on Rome, is what is being referred to when people use the phrase today.
