This has a basis of fact, "Titus Pullo was one of the two Roman centurions of the 11th Legion (Legio XI Claudia) mentioned in the writings of Julius Caesar. The other soldier mentioned was Lucius Vorenus; they appear in Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico, Book 5, Chapter 44. Pullo and Vorenus were fierce rivals for promotion to primus pilus, the most senior centurion in a legion. Both distinguished themselves in 54 BC when the Nervii attacked the legion under Quintus Cicero in their winter quarters in Nervian territory. In an effort to outdo Vorenus, Pullo charged out of the fortified camp and attacked the enemy, but was soon wounded and surrounded. Vorenus followed and engaged his attackers in hand-to-hand combat, killing one and driving the rest back, but lost his footing and was himself soon surrounded. Pullo in turn rescued Vorenus, and after killing several of the enemy, the pair returned to camp amid applause from their comrades."

Easily one of the best shows ever made

[@BoopSnoot]

Unfortunately its cancelling was all political. At the time they wanted shows that had a subtext that supported the Hollywood agenda, and this show was the antithesis of that as it was about brotherly love, the value of family, glorified authoritarianism, nationalism, and masculinity and it didn't have enough black people in it. Feminists, SJWs, and other leftists groups whined and whined and it ended up being cancelled despite the tremendous acting, quality of the set, plot, etc. being amazing. Really made me angry.

[@robreke]

While that sounds totally plausible and I'm inclined to agree, how do you know this? Is there something written or some proof that this was the case?

[@BoopSnoot]

I can't find it anymore. It was just one of those youtube opinion piece news channel with insider info about internal struggles and that they were making up the story as they went instead of having a book to draw on and so forth. They didn't word it like I did, and used a more positive spin about how they wanted a more inclusive and diverse cast that wasn't possible in the historic Roman framework, etc.but basically the gist of what I just said in a negative way. And they accomplished that with Game of Thrones, that didn't have to portray the realistic gender roles of the Roman empire as a fantasy series, so women could fight just as well or better than men, they could have an entire race of people of color interacting for a more diverse cast, and so forth with powerful matriarchies and witches that played the male kings like pawns with anti-slavery liberation theme versus Rome's ambivalence or possibly even dismissive attitude as Posca was a slave and yet really just an employee or subject in most respects.

[@trueromancat7978]

To be correct, as far as "Empire" you are of course right. The word derives from the Latin "imperium". Originally, "imperium" was just "a power", not the exact land, not the territory, but the right to rule the territory. Of course, this right Romans just gave them themselves conquering the land.

A roman citizen cannot be crusified. Crucifixion was a way of punishment for non citizens who either were hard criminals or traitors to the state. For example, Jesus was crusified because the jewish priests, who thought Jesus as a heretic, blamed him to the roman authorities as a criminal who plans to overthrow roman rule in Judea and name himself ΄΄King΄΄. Another example of crusifixion is for the rebels who followed Spartacus.

[@Benaiah1K44]

That first scene, when the disfigured guy asks Pullo "what's wrong with him?" (Speaking of Vorenus). Pullo gives him a friendly shrug and a smile like "oh you know, he's gonna mess you up, I'd listen to him if I were you" That's the simple understated, perfect delivery of an actor that knows exactly how to support a scene and make it really shine. For any aspiring actors out there, Pullo puts on a masterclass of how to be a leading man in a #2 role. He doesn't overact, doesn't try to force his position, and because he communicates mostly with body language and facial expressions you find yourself paying extra attention to what he's doing in every scene he's in. He may be my favorite part of the entire series. If anyone watching this hasn't seen the series yet, it's called ROME and it's on HBO and it is worth paying for a subscription to HBO for this show alone. Warning: you will want to watch this more than once.

[@CERTAIND00M]

Ray Stevenson (Pullo) is one of my favorite actors and you're absolutely right. His performance in Rome is so perfectly natural and understated, that he can't help but demand your attention in every scene he's in.

Steady on, men! No menaces!

[@brunonumerouno]

Rest in peace you big beautiful mountain of a man.

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

Damn had no idea Ray had died. Titus Pullo will forever be one of the best characters played on screen in one of the best TV shows ever! RIP!

[@antigonish63]

Stunning How many people never saw this show or Deadwood. Both among the best stuff ever on TV.

What a good series , Awesome actors. Vorenus and Pullo actors did a wonderful job (Kevin mc Kidd, Ray Stevenson),I loved the acting of James Purefoy (Mark Anthony) and Young Octavianus (Max Pirkis) But in general all the other actors were awesome too.

[@CERTAIND00M]

Have you seen "Punisher: War Zone"? Ray Stevenson plays the Punisher in it, or as I like to call him, "the Pullonisher". It's one of the greatest things ever, ESPECIALLY if you love Rome and/or absurdly violent comic book movies.

[@taroman7100]

And to show what power that transverse crest had McKidd did well nailing a lengthy spot on Grey's Anatomy.

[@peterroberts7684]

Awesome Show 👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻...Rome helped shape modern dramas,with it’s high production..

[@nigelsheppard625]

RIP Ray Stephenson.

[@crispinjulius5032]

Pullo casually eating dinner, trying to warn that dude not to get Vorenus going, “Don’t.” 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@mattkemerait]

"I am a son of Hades!" The Concord scene is one of my favorite of all time.

[@BMackProductions]

Rest in peace, Ray.

[@connorgolden4]

RIP Ray Stevenson. Truly a great actor and was such a great part of Rome! THIRTEENTH!

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

I love that Pullo after biting out the tongue kills the guy who seduced and betrayed Vorenus children. That was his first target that should die.

[@mariocurcija8930]

You are a reasonable man Titus Pullo lol

[@CERTAIND00M]

Mario Curcija I know. That line always makes me lol. And then he immediately insults Pullo's best friend. Dude's asking for it at that point.

[@derf-vr1fc]

RIP. He was a very good actor. Imho, he was the best "Punisher."

[@Thebob6]

Greatest show ever.

[@8triagrammer]

00:42 - amazing choreography, short and sweet, uses the guys own momentum as the guy raises his sword to skewer him.

[@LilRebelYell]

One of the best shows ever created! RIP Ray Stevenson!

[@shortgiraffe3792]

"That way? What about this way?" *aggressively grabs junk*

[@blueknight5754]

Those two took the show! Along with the guy that played Cesar.

[@tommyboyindy1157]

Rome, Deadwood, Sopranos, The Wire and Game of Thrones. HBO had a run there of the greatest TV series ever made.

[@CERTAIND00M]

Breaking Bad might be the only G.O.A.T. series that WASN'T produced for HBO.

[@echoesofmalachor3700]

And arguably the greatest cinematic accomplishment for tv, Band of Brothers

[@malfute]

Band of Brothers was excellent. Also the miniseries Generation Kill and Six Feet Under probably deserve a mention.

[@tommyboyindy1157]

@@malfute : I never saw 6 feet under? Is it comedy or drama?

[@malfute]

@@tommyboyindy1157 Hmm.. I'd say it is a dark humor type of comedy drama with psychological stuff sometimes. The show is about a family that runs a funeral home out of LA. Many episodes begin with the recently deceased's last moments. The story of the Fisher family is quite the whirlwind let me tell ya.

RIP Ray, XIII forever 🗡️
