#marius titus

[mariustheromanson]

@hcrpyiia Marius found himself in a completely new world. No longer forced to serve an Emperor that didn't give two shits about him as Nero threw himself on a sword on his own statue, Marius found himself alive in a different area. ".... "Ubi sum?" (Where am I- English)

Marius Titus - Ryse: Son Of Rome (2013)

Martin McCreadie as Marius Titus (part I)

[imperial-prefect-marcella]

I personally think Marius from “Ryse: Son of Rome” and Mizu from “Blue Eye Samurai” have surprisingly amount of similarities. They’ve both mastered their own swords, both are driven by the desire for vengeance and would travel across mountains and seas to achieve that, both became a spirit of vengeance after experiencing a cruel betrayal, both made tools of revenge with their own hands, both singlehanded cut through a army even with severe injuries, and both wouldn’t die before they have their revenges…

However, they are still two very different characters. It’s amazing that two characters can be so similar and yet be so different.

I love this game so much. Was of My first Game that I played on my Xbox One console. So sad I can't play it anymore because my console got damaged, but still seeing the cutscenes brings me a lot of comfort. The protagonist General Marius Titus is other of my favorite videogames characters. Hope to be able to draw him one day, I only did a unfinished drawing of him in his Damocles outfit in traditional media (not a great drawing, got a lot of mistakes, but was something), but now that I see the drawing again, I want to do a new one.🥺🥺🥺🥺💞💞💞💞💞💞

When did Cicero and Atticus meet? Are they childhood friends or have they met later in life? Thought I'd ask a professional since Google is of no help.

Not being a professional or an expert on these two, sometimes I have to remind myself that they did not spontaneously spawn as an old gay couple, but -

In the number of [Atticus' fellow students] were Lucius Torquatus, Caius Marius the younger, and Marcus Cicero, whom he so attached to himself by his intercourse with them, that no one was ever more dear to them.

- Cornelius Nepos: Life of Atticus

Obligatory eyebrow raise on the word intercourse. Anyway, they studied together, and the other two mentioned here with them are also interesting. Marius the younger and L. Torquatus who is going to fight for Sulla very soon?! So these are the roots of Atticus' strategy of being friends with both sides?

Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman orator, statesman, and writer. He was born on 6 January 106 BCE at either Arpinum or Sora, 70 miles south-east of Rome, in the Volscian mountains. His father was an affluent eques, and the family was distantly related to Gaius Marius. He is not to be confused with his son (of the same name) or Quintus Tullius Cicero (his younger brother). Cicero died on 7 December 43 BCE, trying to escape Rome by sea.

Early Life & Political Career

Cicero was sent to Rome to study law under the Scaevolas, who were the equivalent Ciceros of their day, and he also studied philosophy under Philo, who had been head of the Academy at Athens and also the stoic Diodotus. However, Cicero's early life was not one that was sheltered behind books and learning, and at the age of 17, he served in the Social War under Pompey the Great's father. It was during this period of political upheaval in Rome, the 80s BCE, that Cicero finished his formal education.

However, that is not to say that Cicero stopped his learnings. In 79 BCE he left Rome for two years abroad, with the aim of improving his health and studying further. In Athens, he was taught by masterful Greek rhetoricians and philosophers, and it was in Athens that he met another Roman student, Titus Pomponius Atticus. Atticus went on to be Cicero's lifelong friend and correspondent. Whilst in Rhodes Cicero went to the famous Posidonius. It was during this time that Cicero married his first wife, Terentia, and after he had returned to Rome in 77 BCE, he was voted quaestor at the minimum age of 30. Things were seemingly progressing quickly, but after having spent his quaestorship at Lilybaeum, he never gladly left Rome again. As such his refusal of provincial governorships led to Cicero concentrating on legal work, through which he prospered both monetarily and politically. A good example of this is the In Verrem, this speech has a message of interest that is relevant to current issues of cultural heritage and war. In 69 BCE Cicero was aedile, and in 66 BCE Cicero became praetor, again, at the minimum age, which was 40.

Between 66 and 63 BCE Cicero's political views became more conservative, especially in contrast to the social reforms being proposed by Julius Caesar, Gaius Antonius, and Catiline. Cicero's success is born by the fact that he received the consulship of 63-62 BCE, once again, at the minimum age (42), and that he was consul prior, the consul who had won by the most votes, and further to this, he was also a novus homo. It was during this time that Cicero successfully exposed the Catilinian revolution, and under the power of the Senatus Consultum Ultimum put to death the revolutionaries who had survived up until that point. This led to Marcus Cato calling Cicero pater patriae, 'father of his country'.
