Antony has just come from a meeting
of my friends with good news.
:16:07
Tomorrow at the Senate, Lucius Cotta
will move that I be made king.
:16:11
It will pass.
:16:13
But I don't understand.
:16:16
IKing and emperor.
:16:18
And it will pass?
:16:20
The last few months,
I've been enjoying...
:16:23
...one of the few privileges
of being dictator.
:16:25
I have been appointing senators.
:16:27
Slightly more than half the Senate
has been appointed by me.
:16:32
Once again, the army of Mithradates...
:16:35
...on its way all the time.
:16:38
It will pass.
:16:39
Tomorrow, the ides of March,
a day to be remembered...
:16:42
...the Senate will declare me
king of Rome.
:16:45
IKing, yes, but not of Rome.
:16:48
Not of Rome? What are you saying?
:16:51
They'll offer you king
of the Roman Empire, outside Italy.
:16:56
They're afraid, Caesar.
Even your friends.
:16:59
Afraid of the people.
:17:01
- Perhaps in time...
- To be afraid of the people.
:17:05
To waste time on the people.
:17:07
IKing of all but Rome?
:17:10
What is there? The huts of Gaul?
The caves of Britain?
:17:13
The whole of the empire outside Italy.
:17:17
I will not accept.
:17:19
They mean it to be an empty gesture.
:17:22
Another title to please your fancy,
flatter your ego.
:17:25
Nothing more.
:17:28
And it will pass.
:17:32
Then accept it, Caesar.
:17:34
I have never settled
for half a victory.
:17:36
Nor will you now.
Caesar, mighty Caesar...
:17:40
...all I can say
is what you've taught me:
:17:43
Take a little, then a little more
until finally you have it all.
:17:48
Let them declare you king.
:17:50
Even if it's only
of a tree in Asia Minor.
:17:53
The rest will come to you.
:17:55
To redo once more everything
I have already done?
:17:58
It's what you have never done, what
you never conquered that waits for you.
