From firsthand accounts to his own writings, Mark Anthony was notoriously funny, I recall reading at a time they were at war he approached a Italian city that had treaties with Rome; the prefect was explaining the laws of the city not being required to Garrison a Roman army and in the middle of it. Anthony burst out “stop your quoting of the damn laws, we’re armed!”😆

Game of Thrones, The woman who plays Niobe and The guy who plays Brutus both had roles in GOT with HBO which makes me kind of sad as i much preferred their character's in Rome, they were wasted on GOT.
