Pullo/Vorenus: swoon!

Pullo and Vorenus? Aren't they the two in Caesar's De Bello Gallico who see who's braver than the other when they're surrounded by Ambiorix' armies? (lol, I've never seen Rome before, but I am a Classics major...)

They're the only two common soldiers mentioned by name in De Bello Gallico, I believe -- the characters in Rome were named after them for that reason :)

Rome is interesting. Classically it's fairly accurate, but it also likes to take the old stories and twist them a bit. For example, the rumour that Octavian slept with Caesar as a young man? In Rome, the rumour starts because Caesar's having an epileptic fit and Octavian squirrels him away in a convenient closet until he recovers. A servant sees them go into the closet, hears the grunting of Caesar having his fit, and tells Octavian's mother, who praises him for "getting in good" with his uncle. :D

Having a crush on a psychic was going to be complicated.

GREAT line and OH SO TRUE!

Thanks for this!

Rome fic! Yay! I like how it's very... Pullo reasoned. And I like this line describing S1 Vorenus: "[He] does everything the most proper way possible, as if to annoy the gods with his perfect attendance upon their laws." As a new fan of Rome, thank you for reposting this!

I've read the Rome one, unless this is an edit. You might have it archived already.

It's possible you read it on Copperbadge when I originally posted it?

[aura218.livejournal.com]

Oh. Ok then. Nothing to see here.

Having only just got into Rome (I fell HARD) this is AWESOME! And no spoilers too! <3 All that brotherly love is taking my mind down filthy tracks, and no mistake.
