It fits the sources without making him the one-dimensional Gordon Gekko that he can come across as (though I can't imagine this Crassus burning down buildings so he could buy the plot next door cheap!)Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-30208084103955663982013-02-25T11:13:17.477+00:002013-02-25T11:13:17.477+00:00Juliette!

I too am looking forward to the Point Break inspired Caesar!<br /><br />I enjoyed this episode, and for most part the actor portraying Crassus has set up that he is a formidable fellow in his own right - and not just someone obsessed with wealth, which would have been an uninteresting direction to take the character from a dramatic point of view.<br /><br />Cheers<br />HAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091875643921165081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-2596980482659034802013-02-13T10:19:32.627+00:002013-02-13T10:19:32.627+00:00Speaking from the US and having already seen the f...Speaking from the US and having already seen the first three episodes, the depiction of Caesar is a big fail, at least so far.Aulushttp://www.twitter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-6179139825872435972013-02-12T19:44:19.628+00:002013-02-12T19:44:19.628+00:00I'm assuming Tiberius Crassus will get killed ...I'm assuming Tiberius Crassus will get killed off.

The rank was somewhere between a centurion and the legate. Since Crassus is the general, he could probably appoint his son <i>tribunus laticlavius</i>, making him his right-hand man. If they meant the political position, the only thing keeping him from getting elected would be his age, since daddy undoubtedly has enough money to buy the election and the Licinii were plebeians. OTOH, this is the period where Sulla had pretty much locked the <i>cursus honorum</i> into a very fixed progression. If the boy hasn't been an aedile yet, he's not going anywhere.<br /><br />But who is this Tiberius Crassus supposed to be? The famous Crassus had two sons, Marcus and Publius. There don't seem to have been any Tiberii among the Licinii, let alone the Crassi.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see what they do with Caesar. They pretty much have a free hand, since there is no record of Caesar having been involved in the Servile War. Actually, he was probably kicking around militarily in the east. He seems to have been a military tribune around this time and an early introduction to Crassus could explain a few things.DemetriosXnoreply@blogger.com
