Lucius!
1:12:06
Mother!
1:12:10
Hail, Caesar.
1:12:12
Senators.
1:12:18
Rome greets her new emperor.
1:12:22
Your loyal subjects
bid you welcome, Highness.
1:12:26
Thankyou, Falco.
1:12:29
And for the loyal subjects,
I trust they weren't too expensive.
1:12:34
- Caesar.
- Gracchus.
1:12:36
All Rome rejoices
in your return, Caesar.
1:12:39
There are many matters
that require your attention.
1:12:47
To order, please!
To order!
1:12:50
For your guidance, Caesar, the senate
has prepared a series of protocols...
1:12:56
to begin addressing
the many problems in the city...
1:13:00
beginning with basic sanitation
for the Greek quarter...
1:13:05
to combat the plague
which is already springing up there.
1:13:09
So, if Caesar...
1:13:14
Don't you see, Gracchus?
1:13:18
That's the very problem,
isn't it?
1:13:21
My father spent
all his time at study...
1:13:27
at books of learning
and philosophy.
1:13:32
He spent his twilight hours
reading scrolls from the senate.
1:13:37
And all the while
the people were forgotten.
1:13:43
But the senate
is the people, sire...
1:13:46
chosen from among the people
to speak for the people.
1:13:49
I doubt many of the people
eat so well as you do, Gracchus...
1:13:55
or have such
splendid mistresses, Gaius.
1:13:58
I think I understand my own people.
