Something on Pullo's nice manners, although he is a big brute of a man..
It's probably that blurry part of his background, being the son of a slave or ex-slavem that makes him be polite to slaves, in casu and maybe I should say especially to Eirene. You can see a wee discussion about being polite to slaves between Pullo and Vorenus below (ROME1, ep. 6):PULLO (to Eirene): Ehi, gratias tibi, mellita mea.
VORENUS: Servis gratias ne ageres.
PULLO: Nihil mali in eo est.
VORENUS: Disciplinae bono non est.
PULLO: Quam gaudens hodie mane. Ergo, ad Nioben refert. Ut valet?
VORENUS (OVERLAPPING): Eam non intellego. De sororis marito damnato valde sollicita est.
PULLO: Ita mulieres sunt, annon? Fortasse…fortasse ...?
VORENUS: Fortasse quid?
PULLO: Nescio. Mulieres, eh!
Translation:PULLO (to Eirene): Ah, thank you, my honey.
VORENUS: You shouldn’t thank slaves.
PULLO: No harm in it.
VORENUS: Bad for discipline.
PULLO: Happy again this morning. Niobe, then? How’s she going?
VORENUS (OVERLAPPING): I don’t understand her. All ahoo over her sister’s damn husband.
PULLO: Women, eh? Maybe she’s, she’s...?
VORENUS: She’s what?
PULLO: I don’t know. Women, eh!
Haha, sometimes even Pullo doesn't understand women!
No, joking. I posted this caption before in a bigger setting. I wanted to give it some extra attention, because of the free-slave barrier that Pullo obviously doesn't observe, while it's Vorenus' (and probably most ancient Romans') second nature..pluppies for now,
