Which Character on "Rome" Are most like?

Men:

Julius Caesar - Strong, never in doubt, decisive. Plus the women love him. Has slept with Servilia and Cleopatria. Nice job.

Lucius - Duty always comes before self. Must be a strong willed man to have resisted Cleopatria.

Titus Pullo - A Man's Man; personnal demons and obsession with a slave girl may be his own end. Oh so willing to use violence.

Mark Antony. Male version of Atia. Willing to do anything to get a head.

Octavian - Later the first Emperior of Rome. Introspective and smart. However, no risk no reward.

Pompeii the Great - In the end not so great. Ran instead of fighting Caesar.

Women:

Atia - Psyco slut social climber. Slept with Mark Antony. Greedy woman, willing to do anything to a head.

Servilia - Head strong, attractive, experienced woman; Being spurned by Caeser didn't help her much. Too eager to seek vengence on Caesar's house.

Octavia - Weak woman who easily manipulated by others. However, she's only woman in Rome to have discovered the bikini waxing salon.

Niobe - Octavia needs to be more like her, for Octavia's sake when she eventually married Antony. Right now Niobe needs to step up to plate and be honest with Lucius.

I have been watching the reruns of Rome on HBO this week. Haven't seen them before. I think it's a good show.

Probably closest to Pullo.

BTW, if you've seen "King Arthur", the guy who played Pullo is one of the Knights. Specifically, the one who chops thru the ice...

I don't receive HBO (or cable, or satellite, for that matter), but the show looks like fun.

Also...I'm curious what they're going to do for season 2... .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Since Octavian utlimately fights & defeats Marc Antony & Cleopatra, I'm curious if they'll pick up the story right where they left off...or a few years after Caesar's death when a young Octavian (soon to become Augustus) starts his domination of the Empire? Sadly, we'll hafta wait 2 years or so (std. HBO production time, it seems) to find out.

AAAAAAAARrrg!

I type < SPOILER ALERT > in my post above (sans spaces)...but it got treated like some lame HTML tag and was removed.

Apologies to all!

Niobe committed suicide in the last episode.

Intellectually, Vorenus. Personality, Pullo.
