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.

All you do is kill, kill, kill. The crowd don't want a butcher, they want a hero. We want them to keep coming back. So don't just hack them to pieces, remember you are an entertainer.

I doubt many of the people eat so well as you do, Gracchus. Or have such splendid mistresses, Gaius. I think I understand my own people. Then perhaps Caesar will be so good as to teach us... out of his own extensive experience. I call it love.

Do any of them fight? I've got a match coming up. Some are good for fighting, others for dying. You need both, I think. Get up.

They embrace him like he's one of their own. The mob is fickle, brother. He'll be forgotten in a month.

On this day... we reach back to hallowed antiquity... to bring you a re-creation of the second fall... of mighty Carthage! On the barren plain of Zama... there stood the invincible armies... of the barbarian Hannibal. Ferocious mercenaries and warriors... from all brute nations... bent on merciless destruction... conquest. Your emperor is pleased to give you... the barbarian horde! Anyone here been in the army? Yes. I served with you at Vindobona. You can help me. Whatever comes out of these gates... we've got a better chance of survival if we work together. Do you understand? If we stay together, we survive. The Emperor is pleased to bring you the legionnaires... of Scipio Africanus!
