Another interpretation of history

The first time I watched this show, I just felt naked with blood all over my eyes, and I gave up after watching a few episodes. Now looking back at it, it's actually quite interesting.
1. As a science woman, I don't know much about this history, and I only stick to the most basic common sense. Caesar is indeed a politician with too many good Pompeii. He knows how to buy people's hearts and how to control power firmly in his own hands. Cicero and Brutus abandoned Pompeii to join him, thinking that Caesar would punish them or even kill them, but Caesar welcomed them with open arms and successfully created a benevolent image. Pompeii seems to have always been a loser in the play, chased and beaten by Caesar, and finally had nothing left except a carriage. I don't know if he was really so unlucky in history.
2. The war scenes in the play have all been skipped. The first second was still tensely preparing for the battle, saying that Pompeii's troops were 10 times that of Caesar. The next second, Caesar won, and Pompeii fled. The crew Are you out of money? Don't bring such
deceitful people~ 3. Urenas and Polo are small people, and their existence allows us to see a more real Rome. I don't like Urenas very much. He has been trying to stick to the so-called Moral principles in the vortex of politics, but he has made himself very contradictory, doing stupid things with a bitter face all day long. There has never been a moral principle in political struggle. In the end, the death of his wife was also largely caused by his character, and he would not tolerate anything that was not in line with his beliefs. On the contrary, I like Puluo very much. He is the only naive existence in the play. He is very happy if he has money and a woman. Cleopatra brings him to his door and enjoys it. Whoever insults the 13th Legion will kill him. If he likes a slave girl, he will marry him. She, although the process was a little abusive, but in the end, the two of them still walked hand in hand towards a happy new life, OHyeah~
4. Octavian (who translated this strange name at the beginning!) As expected of Augustus, people are like this when they were young Genius, always speaking amazingly, breaking the situation.
5. When I was a child, I knew that there was a character named Cicero. The book said that he was a powerful orator, but here he is not a glorious image, has no power, and has no high status. He is dissatisfied with Caesar but has no practical actions. , is always fanning the flames on the side, once the power oppresses him, he can only kneel to admit defeat, and mutter to himself... Who is this, this is the face of a popular politician.
6. I have to say about Brutus, I only knew that he was a member of the assassination of Caesar, but I found out that he was actually the assassin. In the first episode, he went to Caesar's army in Gaul, which reflected the good relationship between the two. At that time, his mother was still Caesar's lover, and Caesar really regarded him as a cronie. After following Pompeii to leave Rome, it shows that he is not a resolute and resolute person, a little cowardly, a little swaying, he will never think and do like Antony, plus he has always had a feeling for Caesar, I think Caesar also knew that he could not make a big climate by himself, so he had never been very wary of him. It's just that his mother is really a powerful woman. She swears not to give up until she achieves her goal. She gathered a group of opponents and spread rumors everywhere, so that Caesar had to send Brutus to another place, which directly caused the two to break. . In the final assassination, Brutus was full of fear, and before he made a knife, someone else was always doing it. Finally, under pressure, he reluctantly gave the last knife. We only know that he was an assassin, but we don't know the struggle and helplessness in everyone's heart behind the history.
7. I feel that the first season is actually quite complete, but I don't know what the second season is going to say.
