1:15:06
Who are they to lecture me?
1:15:09
Commodus, the senate has its uses.
1:15:12
What uses?
All they do is talk.
1:15:17
It should be just...
1:15:19
you and me...
1:15:21
and Rome.
1:15:22
Don't even think it.
1:15:24
There's always been a senate.
1:15:27
Rome has changed.
1:15:29
It takes an emperor
to rule an empire.
1:15:32
Of course,
but leave the people their...
1:15:36
Illusions?
1:15:39
Traditions.
1:15:42
My father's war
against the barbarians...
1:15:46
He said it himself: it achieved nothing.
But the people loved him.
1:15:50
The people always love victories.
1:15:53
Why?
1:15:55
They didn't see the battles.
1:15:58
What do they care about Germania?
1:16:01
They care about
the greatness of Rome.
1:16:04
The greatness of Rome.
1:16:09
Well, what is that?
1:16:14
It's an idea...
1:16:16
greatness.
1:16:22
Greatness is a vision.
1:16:24
Exactly. A vision.
1:16:29
Do you not see, Lucilla?
1:16:33
I will give the people a vision of Rome,
and they will love me for it.
1:16:39
And they'll soon forget the tedious
sermonizing of a few dry old men.
1:16:58
I will give the people
the greatest vision of their lives.
