HumA you’re misinterpreting the post. I never said a complete lack of fear was a good thing. What I said was he could do anything and I mean that from the perspective that he is unpredictable and was capable of violating social norms, such as in this case potentially killing people that had been called to a meeting overseen by a deity. That type of behavior can cause fear in others, which is why the holdouts capitulated after he broke the statue.

Lucius Vorenus was a First Spear Centurion - they were the most senior centurions in an entire legion. And remember, he was the First Spear Centurion of the XIII, who were (at least in the show) the most battle-hardened legion in all of Rome. So he was already one of the best and most experienced fighters in all of Rome (again, this is in the show). What he had before that was a very strong moral compass and code. It was him abandoning that, that made him so dangerous. Even before abandoning his moral code, he was referred to as 'the ferocious Lucius Vorenus' by Julius Caesar, who said the reason that he'd chosen him as a Senator is because no-one would dare to raise a hand to him with Vorenus by his side.

[@sanguiniusi8187]

Not talking smack because A) this is from 10 years ago and B) the history is fascinating and I wholeheartedly approve of the sentiment, but like... script writing for this show was probably a doubly hard on account of many of the major plot points actually happening. It contradicts history in places but they probably tried to keep that to a minimum, meaning they would have had to reference historical materials constantly while still being responsible for writing the vast majority of the character drama that we see play out. Especially in the lives of the 'little people'. Vorenus is a great example: mentioned briefly in Caesar's writing, a single bout of combat alongside Pullo is all that he is remembered for, so basically everything we see involving him and his life was the work of the writers. They deserve a lot of credit! They made wrote some great stuff and the effort they put into fleshing out the lives of the everyday Romans really shows.

This series really works hard to portray a pre-Christian world, and it succeeds. This scene is an excellent example. These men do not worship that statute: she is a symbol of what they worship, which is a world filled with powers that they acknowledge are superior, called gods. Vorenus tells them he is a Son of Death and they believe him. He has the favor of Hades, so they will obey him, mostly.

[@CarlosHenriqueXavierEndo]

The gods were not in a spiritual place far away from men but there, amongst them. An oath to a god was taken as ultimately serious. And if Vorenus was bluffing or lying, this would be on his expense and consequences.

[@Sandtauruspig]

Wrong. They don't actually believe he is the son of Hades. They were bluffing and used the idol as a buffer zone. He smashed the idol opening the way to combat, supposedly the idol held them back, letting them know he is willing and ready for combat. Than they all submitted, because he called out their bluff.

This scene also illustrates the superstition and religious nature of Romans. No matter the situation and how much they disrespect their enemies, insulting or desecrating a God, even a foreign God, was not something they would usually do. Throughout the entire Empire, even foreign conquered provinces, they always allowed local worship of foreign divinites and accepted them as part of their pantheon. They didn't want to anger another God just because he was foreign. So Lucius Vorenus' behavior here is seen as insane for no good reason. All this changed when Christianity took over the Empire as official cult. Christians (just like Jews before them) were intolerant of any other cult.

Want to talk about the kings of Spain during the Reconquista, Charlemagne against the Pagans, Nero against the Christians, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi...Those were great leaders with great religious zeal, but they were (or still are, in the last case) mass murderers. This is not true of the scum of the earth. In my mind, "scum" refers to petty criminals: thieves, murderers, sellswords, whoremongers, cheaters, gamblers, liars, etc. If you look at the modern equivalent of the collegiums (the Italian mafia, for example), you see that they are very religious. It doesn't mean they are very respectful of what religion commands, it just means that they are overly superstitious and will do everything they can to save their arses in the next life.

[@SuperGreatSphinx]

Hades (from Ancient Greek Ἅιδης/ᾍδης) was the ancient Greek god of the underworld. Eventually, the god's name came to designate the abode of the dead. In Greek mythology, Hades is the oldest male child of Cronus and Rhea considering the order of birth from the mother, or the youngest, considering the regurgitation by the father. The latter view is attested in Poseidon's speech in the Iliad. According to myth, he and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated the Titans and claimed rulership over the cosmos, ruling the underworld, air, and sea, respectively; the solid earth, long the province of Gaia, was available to all three concurrently. Later, the Greeks started referring to the god as Plouton, which the Romans Latinized as Pluto. The Romans would associate Hades/Pluto with their own chthonic gods, Dis Pater and Orcus. The corresponding Etruscan god was Aita. He is often pictured with the three-headed dog Cerberus. In the later mythological tradition, though not in antiquity, he is associated with the Helm of Darkness and the bident. The term "Hades" in Christian theology (and in New Testament Greek) is parallel to Hebrew sheol (שאול, "grave, dirt-pit"), and refers to the abode of the dead. The Christian concept of hell is more akin to and communicated by the Greek concept of Tartarus, a deep, gloomy part of Hades used as a dungeon of torment and suffering.

What he has to fear? Death? No. Pain? He has experienced the worst possible pain someone ever could. At that point, he can have no fear of God or anything. Lucius vorenus had reached this point and therefore, could easily destroy the statue of that God. This was very justifiable. He really is the son of hades and has no fear of anything any God may bring on him. So, this wonderfully shows what a Man who has reached THIS point in life can do.
