>>6343454>the empire of ROMEEvery good fantasy setting needs a scene where the brutal marauders come and burn / pillage your village to abduct / enslave all the helpless women just as they were about to embark on a sensitive coming of age ceremony marking the passage from delicate maidenhood to mature woman
I watched the first episode of this old tv series Britannia, I can recommend it, I am not entirely convinced by some aspects such as the merits of the actor playing Aulus Plautius, also the main title sequence theme music is unspeakably cringe terrible lol but however, the overall episode is actually very good in particular the man playing the Brythonic ? druid is very convincing lol, best druid I have ever seen on any television. The way magic is portrayed is very interesting and feels very historically authentic (it seems to involve mainly rubbing mud and droppings on oneself, gibbering muttering and hallucinating about birds) There is a black man in this episode, he literally unclasps his Roman helmet and does JohnBoyegaPantingFace, but it is moderately thematically appropriate (he is part of the conscripted? invading Roman legion, he even mentions some Congo ancestral god named Bomasi hehe) also there are some naked writhing hallucinogen pagan women yay
