Today I saw a slave become more powerful than the emperor of Rome.

Is Rome worth one good man's life? We believed it once. Make us believe it again. He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him.

— Will you serve my brother as you served his father?
— I will always serve Rome.

Lucilla

Maximus Decimus Meridius

— If only you had been born a man, what a Caesar you would have made. You would have been strong. I wonder, would you have been just?
— I would have been what you taught me to be.

— Do you remember what our father said once? «Its a dream, a frightful dream, life is». Do you think that's true?
— I don't know.
— I think it is.

— Still afraid of the dark, brother?
— Still. Always.

— My father's war against the barbarians. He said it himself, it achieved nothing. But the people loved him.
— The people always love victories.
— Why? They didn't see the battles. What do they care about Germania?
— They care about the greatness of Rome.

The mob is fickle, brother. He'll be forgotten in a month.
