Marcus Aggripa was general to octavian. But in around 39 BC is was made govenor of Transalpine Gaul one of the first places to be reached after the alps and Italy. Where he put down the Aquitanians and also fought some germanic tribes being the first person to cross rhine since Ceaser. After Octavians bad and very humiliating navel defeat agansed sextus pompay he was called back to rome to start consulship in 37 BC ( he was below minimal age of 43 but Octavian Needed his support in the Senete). But anyway in 31 BC after the battle of Actium Octavian was made master of Rome and in 27 BC Octavian was giving the honoury title of Augustus and was in effect the first Emperor of Rome.

Ceaser Was never emperor just Emperator ( head of all armys ). Anyway in celebration for Augustus Aggripa designed and built the Pantheon of his name. Its was destroyed in 80AD and rebuilt by Domitian it again burned down in 110AD and is said Hadrian Rebuilt it again but was actually Trajans Architect so he should have credit but on the Pantheon it still reads Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, Consul for the third time, built this.

Love For ROME

thanks for the info and another queestion av been reading angels and demons and there is a place called the pantheon which CONSUL marcus aggripa created..he was a consul? a though he was just octavians general?

Under the Eagle
The Eagles Conquest
When the Eagle Hunts
The Eagle and The Wolves
The Eagles Pray
The Eagles Prophecy
The Eagle in The Sand
Centurion
The Gladiator.

They had been scripted for two seasons with hopes of and extra three after that then hoping to make a final two or three after that which would of covered from ceasar then foccusing on the first emperor Augustus. Of course with HBO to worried about there pockets rather than Romes Fans ( which has been done in other shows in america ) BBC were unable to fund the massive show themselves so the second season which i did enjoy had to be rushed just to make the story line finnish. Of course they managed to fit in almost 15 years between augustus and antony in a few episodes a shame really since augustus done so much in his life.

out of intrest what order does the eagle series go in? yeah bruno heller said at one point they where hoping to do bout 4-8 seasons but the budget stopped them and season 3 was ging to be about egypt and season 4 about something else cant quite remember lol

I have actually read all the simon scarrow books and am currently reading them again for a second time and have just started the eagle and the wolves again. But have not had time to read gladiator yet the new book from simon as will wait till i have read to the end again.

And for a third season of rome it is looking very unlikly which does pure suck but the talks of the movie are becoming more and more. But is being kept as secret as the newest star trek movie.

Love For Rome

u guys should read some of simon scarrows books, excellant view of life as a centurion and macro and cato remind me a lot of vorenus and pullo please bring out a third season or a movie!!!!!

gladiator ......kiss

greetings

a man like that might make himself king!

very good rome site i hope they make a third series it would be awsome thanks for a great group defo joining!

yes it is true bruno heller is underway on making a script for a ROME The Movie. But there are still some legal actions to been taking with HBO ( the lovely people who ruined the great show ). Ray stevenson tho has talked with come talk company's and said that there is things underway but he does not no to much about it but he would jump at the chance to return as his most favoured charecter Titus Pullo and some romours are saying the Vorenus might not be as dead as he seemed something that i said a would be writing in my own script. There is also chance that many other charecters from the second series will be returning as it will be based after the 2nd series.

But at this time there is still no confermation on it being made as we will have to wait for legel suits to go through and getting all the cast back at the time. But if it does go through Bruno heller said " ALL GOING WELL I WOULD HOPE TO HAVE THE MOVIE UNDERWAY IN 2011.

LOVE TO ROME

ROME MOVIE

there making it!

Hey how be things,
So have you been writing a carry for rome alison, a been watching rome continues to try a write one and looking up actual facts of the time which a mainly know anyway.

A been basing it on the characters of the original rome adding some more of my own because of the fact so many were killed of in season two. I have been also trying to include alot of navel information in it as octavian was the first to set the first navy war machine up. But also include information about his adopted son tiberius which becomes the next and first person to become emperor from time of apointment to time of death. Also trying to include herod because he is known as herod the great for a reason the building projects he made with roman ( Octavians ) help was unreal for that time.

But a cant forget pullo and vorenus although it appears that vorenus died would like to keep him allive but possible use pullo and vorenus as mercs as they may of become.

N why am a not a top friend

i LOVE this series wish it could continue on and on through Nero times etc, must say the death of Niobe almost made me cry lol
awesome skin btw!

Yeah a had a look about the real soldiers, n aye turns oot they were real soldiers but as a said the people they are made out to be in rome they were good friends fighting for promotion againsed each other.

So although they were real rome never showed what they were actually like or how they were writting, which a think they should of cse they were both still good friends so a dont get why they didnt base them on the book.

Have you no read simon scarrow yet think you wid enjoy them if you enjoy rome.

Love for rome

Hi Craig,

You said there was no proof of soliders names recorded and that the characters like pullo and varenus might not be real. I did some reseach and this is what i found on Rome Wikipedia:

Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo, two Roman soldiers mentioned historically in Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico.

You can google this information and i think one of them took pompeys side and went on to join his legion against Ceaser.

Ally :-)

Ceasers leagion was the 10th not the 13th that is right but about varenus and pullo they are fictional people.

Most names in the senete and higher standings are real but soldiers names were very rarely recorded so there is no proof of these soldiers really being there.

But there are stories wrote about soldiers which characters like pullo and varenus come from. it is the same for simon scarrows books when they say about the characters macro and cato.

Love for rome still ma no 1 show
