>>211491790 It's not depicted in the show but they actually did reach an agreement between the Caesarian faction and the Pompeians where Caesar would disarm to a single legion and remain governor for another term to ensure his continued immunity and EVERYONE was on board until Cato blew it all up by insisting he wouldn't accept any deal where Caesar retained even a single legion. One of history's biggest fuck ups of all time.

>>211491645 (OP) why did they make Cato this weak old man when he was younger than Caesar?

>>211491915 It does make me wonder, if not for Caesar someone else would have ended the Republic. The Senate made it impossible for the men that were actually essential to Rome to thrive, a revolution or military coup was inevitable.
>>211491645 (OP) Cato was immensely based. The show turning him into some feeble old man was the worst character assassination they ever wrote, and that's saying a lot.
>>211497563 The Marian reforms were necessary but ultimately condemned the republic to die.
>>211491915 >>211491972 The republic was toast from the moment the Gracchus Brothers shit went down.
There was no recovering from that.

>>211491645 (OP) I'm halfway through season 1 of HBO Rome and it is painfully degenerate. In the last episode I watched they showed a close up of a sandnigger cock. Is it getting any better, worse or will it be equally degenerate. Also Rome is filled with shitskins.
