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!
1:16:06
Sisogenes.
1:16:10
You must think it odd that I propose
an invitation to Queen Cleopatra.
1:16:14
Do you?
1:16:16
Egypt, after all, has been
officially declared ally of Rome.
1:16:20
Still, I confess I was surprised
at some of those who voted in favor.
1:16:24
Were you?
1:16:25
May I express my gratitude for being
permitted to visit today's session?
1:16:30
It was truly inspiring...
1:16:32
...to witness the free will
of free men so fearlessly expressed.
1:16:38
He seemed most anxious to be present.
1:16:40
- I saw no harm in granting permission.
- Didn't you?
1:16:43
After today, never again shall I
doubt the extent of Egypt's wealth.
1:16:48
I don't like Cicero's implication.
1:16:50
There's not enough gold in Egypt
to buy a Roman senator.
1:16:54
More than enough, it seems,
to buy his vote.
