"In recognition, the Senate
has bestowed upon Caesar...
1:14:20
...the rank, privilege and title
of dictator of Rome for life."
1:14:25
Dictator for life!
1:14:28
At long last, he is master of Rome.
1:14:31
Apollodorus,
everything must be made ready at once.
1:14:34
- Ships, servants...
- We are prepared.
1:14:36
Surely now nothing
can prevent his sending for us...
1:14:40
...if only to attend
his coronation as he did mine.
1:14:43
- Your Majesty...
- Three long, wasted years!
1:14:46
Why should the Senate
have taken so long...
1:14:48
...to recognize what the world
has already known?
1:14:51
That Caesar was master of Rome.
1:14:55
Rufio wishes to speak.
1:14:58
Your Majesty seems to misunderstand.
1:15:00
It seems quite clear. Caesar has been
declared dictator of Rome for life.
1:15:05
True. But there is a vast difference
between dictator and master.
1:15:10
No man can call himself
master of Rome.
1:15:12
Why not?
1:15:14
It has a meaning far too close
to a word no Roman will tolerate:
1:15:18
IKing.
1:15:26
And to be dictator of Rome for life?
1:15:29
Is to be granted the lifelong respect
and honor of the Roman people.
1:15:33
And the dictates of the dictator?
1:15:37
Must in each case, of course,
be approved by the Senate of Rome.
1:15:43
Thank you, Rufio.
1:15:51
The enemy! The enemy! The enemy!
