Horrible Histories (Cartoon) Rotten Romans

The trouble with being a kid today is you grow up too quickly. There's just not enough time. Well, for some kids, that is. Where are we this time? Horrible history. Wow. Horrible history. What do that? A smart hungry case, man. Good idea. Have any of you seen a girl about so tall? Cartoony eyes. You gotta go. You gotta go. And we're scared to come party many ways. Socrates rocks. Is that the Spanish armada? Horrible history. Horrible history. Horrible history. Hell no, what are you thinking about all this cool old stuff? We're at history. It's done council assemblies about to start Steve still not here. You sure? I would get to inform the class. Without beloved friend and leader Steve has had an unfortunate mishap and we have to replace his seat on the council for the foreseeable future. Friends, students, countrymen. Another Darren dongle power bid. Give unto me the coveted season at this ask student council and I hear that promise tomorrow my leadership or native realm has been loving kind and gentle man of the people to take the Julius Caesar. What's with the red boots jungle? Everyone knows that Caesar will read Abe Lincoln had his hat. Winston Churchill had his knee for victory and Julius Caesar's red boots for his trademark. We can't let this happen. We can't stop him for no reason well. Hold on a moment. I remember reading something about stages red boots. So what's the story? I can't remember, but there's more to this than dongles letting on. Dad right. Caesar's red boots have a very significant meaning you two better look into it. Okay, you can open your peepers now. I can't. If I see a spinning through time one more time, I'm gonna lose my lunch. And I haven't even had lunch. We've stopped. We have. Then why are we still moving? How would you ever have an elephant expressed? So where are we anyway? Looks like wrong. By the smell. I'd say it's 45 BCE. Wrong 44 BCE and in case any of you were wondering that stands for before the common era over 2000 years ago. That guy never touching when he slapped. I see your welcome you home to Rome. I came. I saw I conquered the Roman Empire's eyes, okay? Wow, we got lucky. This is a great time to be in Rome. All this excitement. If you call Caesar's armies returning victorious from all points east west, north and south exciting. Hey, that does sound exciting. Come on, let's ask this not how to get to Caesar. I sure do a lot of parade. What are you doing out of uniform? I. Do you have any idea what the punishment is for deserting? No, sir. Well, actually, there were several options that the Roman soldiers employed, a, death by stoning, B, beaten to death by clubs. See, being hand fed grapes by a bevy of servants. I'll take C actually, I was joking about the last one. Sorry, you have to pick either a or B ah, thanks for the inflow. Yeah, I'm welcome. Wow. You saved my hide. That big guy almost had me and then I started thinking I was gonna get beaten to death by clubs and then you came in and grabbed me and then hey, I remember it just happened. Now shh. They're talking about Caesar. Hey, it's Caesar declared himself ruler for life. Do you think you'll measure up? That's not the point that. Remember all king talk when I say absolute power always corrupts the little time for someone to take action against a self proclaimed king to be. Speaking of taking action, we've got to find Caesar to figure out why Darren is wearing the red boots. Before it's too late. That's a charity and obstruction ticket little miss. Moves this. I patrol the traffic of chariots. Obviously, the Roman art of traffic control hasn't been perfected yet. Hello, what's with the Herald up? I've got places to go. People will see. You don't go until I say you can go. Great, stop. Hey, come back here. I didn't say you could go. I'm gonna get you for this. Wow. I never knew that couples in Ancient Rome. Sure, it's really a very modern city. Then traffic cops, news reporters, and let's see what else. Somewhere around here, there's a sewer system. Hold on. I'll find it. It's all right. I believe you. Oh yeah. Concrete, dead concrete. Among Caesar's many accomplishments where his designs for the city of Rome such as indoor toilets. They included housing estates, the flaminius amphitheater, skyscrapers, and the sewer system. You call this supported convenience. Oh, dry. Mostly. Feel better? Yeah, except we have no way to find Caesar. That, not mild rash. If party there was a place we could go to have our question answered. A mama needs to pick up your sweep on didia. What do you think that means? Well, it doesn't mean anything when you say it like that. I'm just about having with your. It means any question answered. Your junkie looks great to me. No, it's Latin. She's a psychic. The sign is a psychic. No, just go and ask the psychic. The Romans were very superstitious. They threw coins and jewelry into rivers and sacrificed animals, hoping to get the gods in their sight and to change fit. They used curses and spells against their enemies and rivals. Fortune tellers and psychics were quick to exploit these beliefs. The Romans went to them to gain insight into their lives, just as we consult modern days. Psychiatrists. Nobody home. Let's see what's behind gut number one. Was that? Sure look like him. Wow, cool. Amazing. Not only was Caesar a military genius and innovator and one of the world's all time most powerful leaders, he even moonlighted as a psychic. Uh, I think he's here to see the psychic. Oh. Ah, look through that curtains well yeah. Let's have a look. Is he wearing the red boots? Can't see his feet. One day I'd safety salad will be named after you. Delicious. Continue. Actually, that was a different season. But they will use your name for a hairstyle. Well, really? You blow with my mom. He's the moderator. Well, there is one small thing. Bullshit. Beware, the ides of March. Do not go to the Senate on the 15th of March, or you will die. Hey, if that be what fate has bestowed me, then she'll be. Isn't it ironic? My deck is already marked on the Roman calendar. The calendar I season did this impart upon the world. That right. Sorry, over 2046 years ago, Caesar did. I mean, he gave us the modern calendar with the 12 months, 365 day year and 29 days of February during leap year. Ouch. This is the city, my city, Roma. There was a week ago when a guy with a funny haircut came into my office. He said he wanted to change the calendar. Something about 13 months being too complicated. Turns out his name was Julius, and he named one of the months after himself. Denari that don't let you can't guess which one. We lost Caesar. Now we're never gonna get to the bottom of the red boot mystery. Look, there he is. Sure. I'd recognize the funny hair and crown the leaves anywhere. Did Caesar go into that building? It stays going to that market. You take the building, I'll take the market, meet back here in ten minutes. I don't think we should sell it. I love it how she always listens to me. You're seeing a girl about this big. Oh no, the compass too hot might travel. Better hide. But where? Why don't you hide in the rug? I'll never get away with it. It's dark in here. Stop your winging. You're not the first person to hide in a row. Remember Cleopatra. When Caesar conquered Alexandria, Cleopatra presented him with a most unusual gift, an ornate rug with a hidden prize rolled inside. The prize, of course, was Cleopatra herself. This is the last time I travel Roman express. I should have been delivered to Mark Antony. In the meantime, back with stitch. Caesar? Caesar is gone too far. It must be stopped. Brutus will need your help. You are known for your honesty. You are one of the most popular men in all of Rome. The people will know we did it for their good if you are the man who leads the killing of Caesar. You'll Caesar. Oh no. Yeah, better take off the robe. In the bathhouse Mendel wear a stitch stitch. People didn't just wash themselves in Roman baths. They used them for exercising, soaking, relaxing, socializing, doing business, many important transactions involving trade, land, and politics took place in these baths, just as they do on modern day golf courses. The Roman baths were sort of present day health clubs without the treadmills. Great, now most missing, and they're gonna kill Caesar. Well, at least things couldn't get any worse. I'm having a problem. Can find a suitable husband for my daughter. But his mom was worried Tiberius. This bathhouse overflows with Rama's most influence on men. You dance spit without soaking an ideal candidate. If you say so, it will be. My daughter shall marry. He needs. Money. Where? Oh, we mean me. What a mess. You seen any girls running around here? I'm not gonna get out of this. Am I? No. Any chance she's hiding in one of these rugs. No. Any chance he's gonna stop this and reach for a vacuum cleaner? Not likely. What happened to you? Come on, we gotta find season and get out of here. Well, okay, but we sort of have to go to this feast celebration thing first. Celebration of what? Mo? Meet Tiberius. My soon to be father in law. What? He's arranged for me to marry his daughter. We've never met, but I'm sure she's nice. He can't make his daughter marry someone she's never met. Oh, yes he can. Children in Ancient Rome had very little power. Roman fathers could have their children executed for disobedience. And you thought being sent to your room without sulfur was bad. That's so unfair. Watch it not. It sounds like you two are being very disobedient kids. He dumped my new sub. She's been fed a fun romp pledged to enhance her flavor. You daughter? The snail silly boy, the snail. We love to serve snails fattened and milk. Take your live snails under shells. Place them in a shallow dish of milk and salt for a day. They love milk and slurp down until there is fat as food. Then, fry and oil. They're delicious. Another treat is our thrush with entrails stuffing. And for the epicureans, there's a delightfully chopped odder of sow with a side of marinated bread. Bon Appetit. It'd be told Caesar has gone too far. The power has gone to his head. But he is the greatest of leaders. Yet no man in a republic can make a good king. We gotta get out of here. Stop, but look at her. It's gonna break her heart when she finds out she can't have me. She'll live. Let's get out of. Just where do you think you're going? I uh, you're not going anywhere until you clear your plate of food, son. Remember the starving children and mess of the day. Thanks. But nothing. Silence. Silence. Everyone listened. No one is to make another PEEP until this boy eats his smell. Take a bite so we can get the hell out of here. No, if you like excuse me, I have to make a trip to the vomit. Dario. From Victorian. Yes, considering what they had is no surprise. It was common at Roman feasts to make a trip to empty one's stomach so what could continue to eat? I think I better join him. Forget about it. This is our chance to escape. What's the matter? I can't leave without giving her an explanation. I'm just not that kind of guy. Fine. Hurry it up. Looks like she's taking it well. Come on, let's get out of here. Where are you going? Out to them. You. Don't. Let's go. Come on. Come on to the seconds. Danger, chariot crashes. Ferocious animals. Gory entertainments offered for your pleasure by the great Julius Caesar. Bring out the main attraction, okay? What a mess. All right, I guess the end mo. Just want you to know that you really are my best friend. And if I had to be mauled to death by a hungry bear in the ancient Roman coliseum that wanted to be with you. We're not gonna die. I've got a plan. Remember that show saw teddy last week where the guy hypnotized there and made him fall asleep. No, I fell asleep. Well, I'm gonna give it a shot. Look into my eyes. You staring at me with a hungry look. Do something to make him look at me. Look deeper into my eyes. You're getting sneaky. Very sleepy. You are. Asleep. Now what? Get in. Thumbs up. Life comes down. Maybe not the decision I would have made, but who am I to argue with Caesar? Cool. Caesar saved us. Maybe Darren wouldn't be so bad on the student council after all. It is modeling itself after season. I don't know about that. Come on, we've got to find Caesar and find out about his boots. Maybe they wouldn't let us near Caesar 'cause we're covered with bear spin. Which is gonna have to beat him to the Senate. I'm cold. This wind's blowing right up my robe. Why don't these come with underwear? No, the clever positioning of Caesar's statue next to the statues of the early kings of Rome, no wonder the patricians were concerned. Wait a second, wait for me, wait for me. Wow. This is it. This is all. That's Caesar. He's acting like some kind of king, huh? The boots. He's squaring the red boots. Of course, that's it. Ramen sprayed with the color of royalty. Oh no. Darren plans to make himself king. For the student council. That's why he's wearing red boots. Dead right, traditionally king's war red boots and Caesar's case the boots turned his colleagues against him. You see the last king they'd had was a disaster. He lived in the 5th century BCE and his name was tarquinius superbus. He abolished many rights and was the rottenest Roman of the time. After him, the Roman people took things into their own hands and called themselves a republic. As for Caesar, he was beloved by the people and used this to increase his power. This was intolerable to the patricians, the rich and powerful aristocrats. The last straw was when he elected himself dictator for life, which is another way of saying the dreaded word king. Caesar was due to speak to the Senate on March 15th. Afterwards, he would lead his troops into battle and would be protected by them. The conspirators knew they must strike now. Look, those guys. What are they doing? They're making the first Caesar salad. Get it. It's a joke. To you, man. First question for the trip home. Why did Caesar go to the Senate that day after so many warnings? A, he felt that fake could not be changed. He thought he should invincible, C he thought they were painting Caesar award, B, he always did the opposite of what his wife calpurnia and I wanted them to be. Can we call a friend? A is the right answer. He felt that fate could not be changed. Greg, let's go and stop Darren. Have you forgotten how to say please? Please. If I said, Derek can't just appoint himself. There must be an election. Stop stalling. Time is of the essence. Steve did a terrible job besides his absence. Give me his seat on the council. Do it now. Oh, Steve. Well, here. Sorry I'm late to win a bit down and try my shoe soon put my locker to my arm. Eat two jungles, your grab for power dies with your boots on. Just like Caesar. Once again, the knowledge of history has given Darren the boat, get it there. Oh, forget it.
