via blog.hdscreencaps.com I came upon Rome when I was researching Latin profanity where it says: The television series Rome depicts the city with the grit and grime that is often absent from earlier productions, including that of language. But since the actors speak English, Latin profanity is only seen in written graffiti, such as: ATIA FELLAT, “Atia sucks”; “fellatio” is a noun derived from this verb. ATIA AMAT OMNES, “Atia loves all [men]”. Thus calling her a whore or slut. CAESARI SERVILIA FUTATRIX, “Servilia is Caesar’s bitch”. Last night I watched season 1 and enjoyed it immensely. Depicted above is Polly Walker as Atia of the Julii (Season 1 and 2) – The niece of Julius Caesar and mother of Octavian/Augustus and Octavia, she is depicted as a cheerfully amoral and opportunistic manipulator. Her family connections and sexual liaisons have brought her into contact with some of the most powerful individuals in Rome, making her a highly influential figure in Roman society. Atia is very loosely based on the historical figure Atia Balba Caesonia about whom little detail is known. Rome Historical Consultant Jonathan Stamp identifies the historical figure Clodia as the primary basis for the character of Atia.
