If you have a good English, please see for yourself. If you have a wrong translation, please correct me. I'm talking about real people in history, so I won't introduce many characters in TV dramas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorenus
Caesar mentioned two soldiers of the 11th Corps in a book he wrote, "Gaul Wars", one is Lucius Vorenus (Urenas), The other is Titus Pullo. This is what the book says about the two of them: They are both exceptionally great captains of centuries, and because they compete for a position, no one can look at anyone. In a battle with the Nervii, Pullo was too eager to move forward. After stabbing an enemy with a javelin, he was also stabbed by the enemy's spear and fell into a heavy siege. At this time, Vorenus rushed to Pullo from the position, and fought with the enemy. He brought down a few and scared away more, but he was also in a disadvantaged position. When the Nervii came round again, Pullo and Vorenus fought side by side and fought bravely to kill the enemy, and finally returned to the position safely. Amid the admiration and applause of the surroundings, the two held tightly together. . .
The difference between Vorenus in history and the TV series is that he is equal to Pullo and is in the Eleventh Army. These two people are also mentioned in some other novels, with some minor changes.
That's it for the introduction of Vorenus, and Pullo has some more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titus_Pullo
is the same as Vorenus.
In the 49 BC civil war (Pompey and Caesar), Pullo joined XXIV Victrix Rapax, a new Italian army led by Anthony. At 48 BC, Anthony was trapped on the island and forced to surrender. Pullo took his soldiers to play for Pompey. Before Pompey and Caesar's battle in Pharsalus, Pullo was also credited for defending Pompey's camp in Greece.
Ha ha. Stumbled upon the actor of Vorenus playing Tommy in "Training"! It was so young then!

Some plots of these two people in the HBO drama are probably fictitious. But they are quite famous, and later some novels use their names. I like this TV series very much, although many key things are not clear. By the way, I recommend a set of BBC documentary films BBC. Ancient Rome-the rise and fall of an empire. The characters are not as vivid as in "Rome", but they have a large time span and tell a lot of stories.
The second season of "Rome" is being downloaded, and the education network is not strong~~~

Unconsciously 6 Years have passed. .
I don’t know how many times I visited Rome today. When I saw Pullo on the mission to kill Cicero, Cicero told Pullo before his execution that history will remember your name. Because all the places that record me will record that I died in your hands.
I checked the cicero wiki and found that there are really two killer names: Herennius (a centurion) and Popilius (a tribune). Ha, is herennius (the length of a hundred people) very similar to vorenus, and is Popilius very similar to Titus Pullo's letter combination?
The description of cicero before his death on the wiki is taken from the book "Haskell, HJ: This was Cicero (1964)". It is also recorded in the book that cicero chose a more convenient position for execution. The difference is that in the episode, Pullo tells Cicero that this pain will be less painful. The book says that Cicero himself chose this position to facilitate execution.
