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!

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.

Quintus and the Praetorians would simply seize control for themselves. No. Cut off the head and the snake cannot strike. Lucilla, Gaius is right. Until we can neutralize the Praetorians, we can achieve nothing.
