:27:03
- Caesar?
- Tell me again, Maximus.
:27:08
Why are we here?
:27:11
For the glory ofthe empire, sire.
:27:15
Ah, yes.
:27:19
Ah, yes, I remember.
:27:25
Do you see that map, Maximus?
:27:28
That is the world
which I created.
:27:33
For 25 years...
:27:36
I have conquered, spilt blood,
expanded the empire.
:27:41
Since I became caesar,
I've known four years without war.
:27:46
Four years of peace in 20.
:27:49
And for what?
:28:00
I brought the sword.
Nothing more.
:28:06
Caesar, your life...
:28:08
Please.
Please don't call me that.
:28:12
Come. Please.
:28:15
Come sit.
:28:18
Let us talk together now...
:28:22
very simply... as men.
:28:26
Maximus, talk.
:28:35
Five thousand of my men are
out there in the freezing mud.
:28:39
Three thousand of them
are bloodied and cleaved.
:28:42
Two thousand will never
leave this place.
:28:44
I will not believe that they
fought and died for nothing.
:28:47
And what would you believe?
:28:50
They fought foryou and for Rome.
:28:54
And what is Rome?
:28:59
I've seen much
of the rest of the world.
