Talk:These Being the Words of Marcus Tullius Cicero

All of that text is copyvio, surely? Twospoonfuls 14:49, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you give a source for that? Looks like for a pleasant change it hasn't been directly lifted from the HBO site MarkSutton 11:50, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, my mistake, I thought it had been lifted from the HBO site. This is apparently an honourable exception to the lengthly list of copyright crimes on the Rome page. Twospoonfuls 19:56, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Historical accuracy?
Nothing on the episode's historical accuracy? I'm disappointed... RobertM525 07:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * If I weren't so bogged down with Cicero's letters, I'd translate something of the Philippics to see if there's any connection to the speech he had read to the Senate. Tsunomaru 17:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * (2 years later ;-)) Any luck? --Kim Bruning (talk) 02:43, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * (5 years later) still no historical accuracy. :( Alagos (talk) 09:02, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * (10 years later) no historical accuracy yet. Still, I'd like to point out that the caption wrongly says Bithynia is in eastern Turkey (while actually it's in western Turkey); and, more importantly, that Cassius and Brutus are depicted begging some nameless and grotesquely depicted Bithynian king for military funds - too bad the last Bithynian king was Nicomedes IV, who bequeathed his kingdom to Rome as he died in 74 BC, some thirty years before the scene would take place. This is the very first blatant blooper I've found in this series. --93.146.75.147 (talk) 22:46, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Who's Cotta? Isn't it Carbo?
The subtitles read "Carbo." So does the official HBO page. tharsaile 22:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)


 * That's right. Catto is another character from the series. He appears in fifth episode of the second season. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatih Demirci (talk • contribs) 17:55, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
