:56:03
There's enough to feed the world.
:56:06
More gold then.
:56:07
Why not buy the world?
Surely you have enough.
:56:10
At least enough to pay more legions
than even Rome has ever had.
:56:14
More granite, more marble...
:56:16
...more millions of slaves
to build whatever needs building.
:56:19
Better routes to India,
shorter routes to the East.
:56:22
What can there be in Egypt
that I haven't seen?
:56:25
Egypt itself. The reason for Egypt.
:56:29
My responsibility is Rome.
:56:32
Alexander understood it...
:56:35
...that from Egypt
he could rule the world.
:56:39
He was very young.
And you, even younger.
:56:43
At your age, such dreams have a
reality which grows less in time.
:56:48
Caesar no longer dreams?
:56:51
Dangerous to a man of my calling.
:56:54
Necessary, I would have thought.
:57:13
I can't stay away from Rome too long.
There are problems.
:57:16
Messages from Marc Antony
endlessly demanding my return.
:57:19
And on my way back, wars
to be fought in the east and north.
:57:23
Even in Rome itself
I'm not without opposition.
:57:27
Do to them
what you did to Achillas.
:57:30
This is opposition
of a different sort.
:57:32
They weave it cleverly, lightly,
like a cobweb.
:57:35
You know what happens when cobwebs
are not regularly swept away.
:57:39
Do you trust this Marc Antony?
:57:43
If anyone in the world,
I trust Antony.
:57:46
Let him brush away the cobwebs
for you and stay with me.
:57:50
You've been declared
dictator for a year.
:57:53
You can do what you want
with your time.
:57:56
Everything but make it stand still.
