Question about HBO's Rome- Unboxed Spoilers

I liked the Latin graffiti outside of Atia’s villa (can anyone translate it?). The historical references are fun. I don’t have a classical education, but even I recognized the significance of the crossing of the Rubicon River. I wonder what Titus Pullo will do with all that gold?

I translated what I could of the graffiti in the other thread on that episode. Here’s what I could get.

Basically, it’s some not so nice stuff about Atia.

I’d still love to see somebody take on Justinian and Theodora, though; now that’s a twosome, and adapting Procopius would require having to leave out juicy horrible dish.

I dunno, the plot might get rather Byzantine.

Oh yeah, I forgot I had something on topic to say. Why did Pompey arrange for a mob to hang around the Senate entrance if he didn’t actually want Marc Antony to be attacked?

I was taking it that he was sending a message: " I run Rome. You can cast your damn veto, but you do it at my sufferance." Didn’t work out so great.

Thanks for the info. I wasn’t aware of the other thread.
