1:34:01
Five hundred at least.
1:34:04
But no deal is too small,
l assure you.
1:34:06
We'll need them all.
1:34:08
- All?
- What is the price?
1:34:12
Price is 100,000 sesterces
per ship.
1:34:17
For 500 ships that would be...
1:34:21
50 million sesterces.
1:34:25
- You have such a sum?
- We will have.
1:34:32
See for yourself.
1:34:37
- Beautiful.
- When will the ships be ready?
1:34:40
Beautiful.
l love to see such beauty.
1:34:44
When will the ships be ready?
1:34:47
My friend...
1:34:49
when will you be ready?
1:34:51
How long will it take you...
1:34:55
to cross one-third
the length of Italy...
1:34:57
fighting a major battle
in every town?
1:35:00
One year? Two years?
1:35:02
lf we're not in Brundusium
seven months from now...
1:35:04
we'll never be there.
1:35:09
What if we assemble the ships...
1:35:12
and there is no longer
a slave army to board them?
1:35:16
We'll give you a chest of treasure now,
the rest when we get to Brundusium.
1:35:20
- This one?
- Yes.
1:35:24
Done! Seven months from now,
the ships will be assembled.
1:35:29
Arrange to have the chest loaded.
1:35:32
Now, with your permission, l should
like to have the wine you offered me.
1:35:36
- Will you join me?
- l will.
1:35:38
Excellent workmanship.
1:35:40
lt came from the estate
of a wealthy nobleman.
1:35:42
I've heard that you are
of noble birth yourself.
1:35:45
I'm the son
and grandson of slaves.
1:35:47
l knew that
when l saw you couldn't read.
1:35:51
Of course, it pleases Roman vanity
to think that you are noble.
1:35:55
They shrink from the idea
of fighting mere slaves...
1:35:58
especially a man like Crassus.
