Have fresh horses ready to take me to Ostia. My army is encamped there. By nightfall of the second day, I'll return at the head of 5,000 men. But the legions all have new commanders... loyal to Commodus. Let my men see me alive, and you shall see where their loyalties lie. This is madness.

He enters Rome like a conquering hero. But what has he conquered? Give him time, Gracchus. He's young. I think he could do very well. For Rome, or for you?

If they lie to me, they don't respect me. If they don't respect me, how can they ever love me?

We've been reading about the great Mark Antony and his adventures in Egypt. And the queen killed herself with a snake. And just wait until you hear what happened to our ancestors. If you're very good, tomorrow night I'll tell you the story of Emperor Claudius.

He's cleverer than I thought. Clever. The whole of Rome would be laughing at him... if they weren't so afraid of his Praetorians. Fear and wonder. A powerful combination. You really think the people are going to be seduced by that? I think he knows what Rome is. Rome is the mob. Conjure magic for them, and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom, and still they'll roar. The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the Senate. It's the sand of the Colosseum. He'll bring them death... and they will love him for it.

You can buy my freedom and smuggle me out of Rome?
