He was the first Roman Emperor to be captured by an enemy of Rome. He never returned. But it's really unknown whether or not he lived out his days in captivity or was just executed. Probably held for ransom at first.
The big characters were all very well portrayed and the plots involving them were great. But we all know those two were the ones everyone wanted to see. Fucking stole the show.
Twas why I made that part you quoted in bold. I've admitted this many times, I love when fantasy shit has realism. Get ungodly oversized pauldrons outta my face, get armored bikini's outta here, sit those fucking twenty foot swords down.
