Around Capua,
they ravaged the countryside...
:55:34
forcing other slaves to join them.
:55:36
Looting, robbing,
burning everything...
:55:40
while they make their camp
in the escarpments of Vesuvius.
:55:45
Each day swells their numbers.
:55:48
The situation presently lies
in the hands...
:55:51
of this august body.
:55:56
Where's the mighty Crassus?
:56:00
- Out of the city.
- At least you're here.
:56:02
No need to fear for Rome
as long as Glabrus is with us.
:56:05
Let me add: Over 100 estates
have been burned...
:56:10
among them, gentlemen,
my own...
:56:13
burned to the ground
and three million sesterces lost.
:56:17
l propose the immediate recall
of Pompey and his legions from Spain.
:56:21
- l could bring them in with 500 men!
- Don't make a fool of yourself.
:56:25
Why call back the legions...
:56:29
when the garrison of Rome
has nothing to do...
:56:32
but to defend us
from sausage makers?
:56:36
Let's send Glabrus
against these scoundrels!
:56:38
Give 'em a taste of Roman steel.
:56:44
l protest.
l most strongly protest.
:56:47
There are more slaves
in Rome than Romans.
:56:49
With the garrison absent,
what's to prevent them from rising too?
:56:53
l did not say
the whole garrison.
:56:56
Six cohorts will
more than do the job.
:56:59
The rest can stay in Rome
to save you from your housemaids.
