[@fatty_owls]

@@I_am_probably_a_person he basically had the same job as an emperor I’m just being pedantic lol the job of an emperor wasn’t a thing yet bc he was still technically claiming to be the legal republic dictator and then dictator for life but as a populares ruler bc he didn’t want to be stabbed to death by the people but then he was stabbed to death by the senate instead so it didn’t really work out and then Augustus formed the principate and imperial Rome began in around 27 BC (you probably didn’t want to know that I’m really sorry)

[@InanimateGenderlessBlob]

Lmao Sam being so strict on everyone else but then saying Poseidon's trident (Greek) would be in Jupiter's temple (Roman) without batting an eye took me out

[@J.Cordner]

Exactly like woah

[@TheUnderscore_]

Facts that was great 😂

[@lreid7420]

I love how it seemed like Tom was planning on being Juliet at the start (staring out wistfully), so when Sam addressed him as Caesar he had to reboot for a second 😂 (I might be wrong but)

[@FooRocker1245]

I think you’re right because I had the same feeling

[@sweettoothgirl]

Definitely! 🤣

[@LuxicCardinal]

No i think you're right :)

[@prayingmantis4765]

Nope he defo wanted to be juliet lmaooo😂

[@7Marisa77]

“I hope this Horse can swim” Sam’s look hahaha

[@Roozyj]

I guess they have to cross a river to get from Rome to Verona? Isn't the Po inbetween there somewhere?

[@pityelle8108]

I think he mistook Verona for Venice (maybe)

[@acenomadic]

You do have to cross the Po, unless you take a long detour around it, but that crossing would presumably be over a bridge for most carriage drivers

[@noheterotho179]

I was wondering how they'd tackle the blend of two historical eras being combined and I'm delighted to find out it was through "french 16 year old Caesar (who can turn into a bird) proposes with a ring to his love, Juilet from the province of Verona, whose father died in the great war." This play would kill my friends who studided classics and empires.

[@Roozyj]

I suppose this must be as terrible for a classics geek to watch as "Bobsleds and Burglary" is to a sports fan xD From a theatre studies standpoint, I liked this one. Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet are both plays by Shakespeare and the drama and especially the ending was very Shakespearean xD

[@lendial]

this is canon roman lore and no one can say otherwise

[@photophoenix6284]

13:07 “as a man with a classics degree”….. Wait WHAT Sam has a Classics degree? And a BA in Drama? 🤔 I live for the little lore nuggets they drop in these videos 😂

[@shootimpro]

He has 1/6th of a classics degree, technically, and 5/6th of a BA in Drama haha but it’s clearly more than the other two!

[@teclinsoro4523]

i loved tom shaking his head when they made singing part of his character (8:29)

[@marseille3252]

the way Sam pointedly looked back at him too! 🤣

[@alansmithee419]

8:49 I like how the audience is like "Sam's doing it again!" And then he turns it around on them for being ignorant of the source material. The romanticisation (as apt as the word is) of Romeo and Juliet is honestly pretty disturbing, and not just for this reason.

[@mrgw98]

What was the word he said? I keep replaying but I can't quite catch it
