When you see blue guys taking away a golden eagle, you know something went terribly wrong! In this scene, we see the "barbarians" stealing the famous Roman eagle. It was Caesar's eagle too! This is a big deal for the Romans. Losing the eagle is like losing Rome itself.
HBO's Rome was a legendary series, what a shame it was over with no further explanations. Also, what a shame that Caesar's eagle was stolen; an Eagle is like a banner of an army's division.

FROM IMDB PAGE
A down-to-earth account of the lives of both illustrious and ordinary Romans set in the last days of the Roman Republic.
In this British historical drama, the turbulent transition from Roman republic to autocratic empire, which changed world history through civil war and wars of conquest, is sketched both from the aristocratic viewpoint of Julius Caesar, his family, his adopted successor Octavian Augustus, and their political allies and adversaries, and from the politically naive viewpoint of a few ordinary Romans, notably the soldiers Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo and their families.
In Gaul in 52 B.C., two Roman soldiers, Legionary Titus Pullo and Centurion Lucius Vorenus, are tasked with recovering Julius Caesar's personal Eagle, stolen from his camp in the dead of night. With his campaign in Gaul coming to a successful conclusion, Caesar's popularity is continuing to grow. He's saddened however when he receives news from his good friend Pompey Magnus that his daughter, Pompey's wife, has died in childbirth. In the Senate, Pompey must defend the prolonged absence of his friend and co-Consul Caesar against charges of corruption and of waging an illegal war. It's all a ruse however as he is plotting to eliminate him. Meanwhile, Atia of the Julii sends her son Octavian to Gaul to deliver a gift of a beautiful stallion to his great uncle Julius Caesar. He is taken prisoner along the way. Fortunately, Vorenus and Pullo rescue him and as a result, both receive Caesar's favor.—
