#pompey theater

[dykepulpfriction]

made a roman senator OC for my roman final. his name is Gaius Julianicus "Mediocris" and he loves caesar so much that when he dies this little guy goes to pompey's """theater""" and stabs himself in front of all the ladies with their tits out. he hates the theater and he loves julius so so much. he comes from a long line of Mediocris <3. he also wants to fuck catullus

[sforzesco]

@illegible-scribble said: With the old concept of gods being able to inhabit/see through the eyes of their cult statues, it’s fun to think about Pompey lounging in his in the curia, looking down on Caesar as he bleeds out at/on his feet

screaming this is actually so funny to think about

After her post, the Internet was like the volcano that flooded Pompei with lava: Smoking hot. Everyone was talking about the guy in the picture and how intimate they looked. Of course, everyone thought about Callum, and they were right, but they didn’t know it. So, when Y/n, Austin, Anthony and Callum went on the Graham Norton show, they were expecting questions about it.

-

‘’So, Y/n obviously you got a lot of attention this week, because of this’’ Her post appears on the screen. Anthony starts to chuckle. ‘’I know, my back looks great’’ she says, avoiding the question. ‘’You look amazing, but the real question is: Who is the gentleman in the two pictures?’’ Two red arrows pointing at the men in the pictures appears on the screen. ‘’I can’t see him, maybe point it to me’’ she says, sarcastically of course. The publics starts to laugh. ‘’I mean there’s a gentleman in my life, I won’t say who, but yeah. Thought I’d tease the internet a little’’ she says, crossing her legs. ‘’Boys do you know who he is?’’ Graham asked the 3 men. ‘’Yeah, I met him, he’s really nice’’ Anthony says. ‘’He’s amazing, he takes care of my best friend, and that’s all that counts’’ Callum says. Y/n has to bite the inside of her cheek to prevent her from laughing. Hearing Callum talk about himself at the 3rd person almost makes her laugh and blow away the surprise. ‘’Like they said, he’s a really nice guy. Really fun too, we had some great conversations with him. Awesome guy’’ Austin adds. ‘’But what about Callum?’’ Graham asks. ‘’What about him?’’ Y/n asks. ‘’W-w-well you guys. T-t-the internet ships you together!’’ he stutters. Y/n direct answer took him by surprise. ‘’We also have a video of Callum and a mystery lady, let’s take a look’’ What video? Shit?! It showed a video of Callum making out with Y/n, but we couldn’t see her face, it was badly filmed because the only action we could see was between the crack of the door. Y/n tried not to react, and she was hoping that Callum would improvise something. ‘’Graham, I’m sorry, but we’re here to promote our show, Master of the Air, not trying to get to the bottom of the rumors of who’s Y/n dating and Callum’s privacy being invaded’’ Austin said, as calmly as possible. ‘’Austin’s right, plus we have great things to talk about other than Y/n’s dating life.’’ Anthony added the woman smiled to the blonde, who just saved their life. ‘’You’re right, I’m sorry, so Anthony…’’ Graham didn’t talk about relationships that night. When the interview was over and they got backstage, Y/n hugged Austin. ‘’Thank you so freaking much’’ she said. ‘’Thank you, Austin, I really appreciate it’’ Callum said. ‘’Don’t worry we got you’’ Anthony said.

-

After Austin and Anthony’s intervention, the people calmed down on the question, but the internet could still see their chemistry. Callum and Y/n still liked to tease the internet, but they calmed down too. Until the premier in the U.S.A, they kissed at the final premiere, in London. The one in the United-States was the before last premiere they all did. Y/n came on the carpet with a very reviling designer piece that the fans started to speculate.

-

She didn’t want to come on the carpet dressed like this, but the designer put a lot of effort into the piece, so she wore it. But she already had a team ready inside the movie theater to change her outfit. When she stepped out the car, she felt very vulnerable, she arrived alone this time, she was already gonna get attention for her outfit, she didn’t more publicity. She walked on the red carpet, until she reached her co-stars. ‘’Y/n here! Show us your tits!’’ a male fan yelled, making her very uncomfortable. Callum, who had seen the scene, felt really bad for his girlfriend. He wanted to help her, but if he gave her his jacket, the rumors would just be unbearable, they like to tease the internet, but not like that. ‘’Austin, can you go give your jacket to Y/n, she’s really uncomfortable’’ he whispered. He nodded than went forward, to give Y/n his jacket. ‘’With your boyfriends’ compliments’’ he said, not wanting to be suspicious. She put the jacket on and continued her way on the carpet. They finally did a group photo, after they could go inside, and Y/n could change. ‘’Come on Y/n, you’re not afraid to be shirtless on Instagram! We want to see the tits!’’ another male fan yelled. The guys were all in shook of what they just heard. But Y/n took all the confidence she had left and stepped forward. ‘’Maybe ask politely’’ she gave the men a fake smile before showing him her middle finger. The flash of the camera doubled; she was certainly going to get attention now. But what she didn’t realise was that the hole cast was flipping the guy off. Callum was the first to follow is girlfriend in giving the middle finger, the rest just followed.

-

Surprisingly, it wasn’t her outfit that made the front page, it was the picture of the cast giving the finger to the sexist fan. They didn’t talk about the fact that it was disrespectful, they talked about the fact that men were supporting woman and how it should always be like this. The cast of Master of the Air were now icons in the feminist movement. All thanks to Callum…

POYO!

Kirby, what are you doing in the Theater of Pompey? Don't you know the Senate is meeting there today? Wait, is that a knife?

Kirby, no!

narrator voice: brutus was not.

this is playing off a few things historically: that a lot of cassius' early life before his introduction into the military/political theater under crassus during the doomed parthian campaign is non existent, which also means that this space is my sandbox to play it!

my favorite historical pairs to work with (in regards to romans, anyway) tend to fit into a gladiator/statesman dynamic, so cassius and brutus, agrippa and octavian, but also pompey and crassus fit into that mold as well (even when they're fighting with each other, the behaviors and methods they use tend to reflect the general thematic archetype)

what's really fun to sink my teeth into is how one of cassius' strengths (knowing when to step back) is also a great flaw because he consistently gave way to brutus, but brutus wasn't a good general and he's not the greatest decision maker, and letting brutus make the call frequently resulted in Worse Consequences. and somehow. brutus goes down in history as the idealized figure. what a fucking tragedy!

A Conspirator's Realism: Cassius Settles for the Second Rank, Luciano Canfora

this scene would.......probably take place around the same time brutus is having his hot girl summer being a loan shark to compliment his historical counterpart's financial adventures in salamis.

Madonna celebrated her birthday in Pompei, Italy, with friends and family — plus local youth involved in an art initiative she supports.

The Queen of Pop turned 66 on Friday, Aug. 16, and spent the evening with members of Sogno di Volare, or Dream of Flying, a project that lets local youth act in classical performances at the ancient theater in the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, per a press release.

The singer arrived at the archaeological site late Friday evening with a group of about 30 people — including her rumored boyfriend, soccer player Akeem Morris, and two of her daughters, 11-year-old twins Estere and Stella — to a crowd of adoring fans, sources tell PEOPLE.

Madonna also marked her 66th birthday on Instagram, where she posted glamorous photos of herself, her twins and a shirtless Morris, captioning the post: “Back in Italy...🇮🇹 Happy Birthday to ME 🦁✨🎂🥂🇮🇹♥️.”

Oh right, I downloaded an Ancient Rome Minecraft world (had some fun exploring the Amphitheatrum Flavium, the Palatine Hill, the Pantheon and the Circus Maximus), then I decided to have some fun by setting myself to survival mode and built a house at the foot of the Theater of Pompey (where Julius Caesar was murdered). As I readied up to fight the ender dragon (I built an end portal in the Mausoleum Augusti), I found out the people who built this world in 2012 actually made a Roman palace in the end

Does Sulla fall into the soldier-lover category like Antony and Pompey? Does Lucullus?

hard no for lucullus, he's in a much sexier category (imo) of being good at paperwork, administrative duties, and taking care of everything war lords and those who are hungry for power and blood don't care about.

as for sulla, I truly do not know enough about him to say one way or another. in my mind, he's filed away in the same space that caligula and nero sometimes overlap in, and also cannibal.

[Crassus and Pompey in their second consulship] even undertook to curtail personal expenditures, which had increased to an enormous extent, although they themselves went to every length of luxury and indulgence; but they were prevented by this very circumstance from enacting the law. 3 For Hortensius, one of the men fondest of expensive living, by reviewing the great size of the city and praising the costliness of their homes as well as their generosity toward others, thus making use of their own mode of life to support his arguments, persuaded them to give up their intention. 4 They were brought to shame by his opposition and also shrank from appearing to debar others through jealousy from privileges that they themselves enjoyed; and so they voluntarily withdrew their motion.

[Dio 39.37 via LacusCurtius.]

"Nice theater you have there Pompey".

"Oh Crassus, it is so kind of you to pay the debts of all those pretty boys".

Work will continue until December to reveal the 4 meter (13 foot) tall Hercules, believed to have stood in ancient Rome's Pompey Theater, to its original golden sheen. The discovery of the gilded bronze in 1864 during work on a banker's villa near Piazza dei Fiori made global headlines. (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)

can we talk about that, actually. what's with all the beheading. crassus' head used for a theater prop, octavian wanting to cast the head of brutus' at feet of caesar's statue. everything dolabella and his men did with trebonius' corpse. and also head. pompey's head, too. cicero.
