[Drums beating]

Magnificent battle.
:18:07
[Triumphant instrumental music]
:18:25
General. Still alive?
:18:27
QUINTUS: Still alive.
:18:28
The gods must have a sense of humour.
:18:30
QUINTUS: The gods must love you.
MAXIMUS: Valerius.
:18:33
Back to barracks, General? Or to Rome?
:18:35
Home. My wife, my son, the harvest.
:18:39
Maximus the farmer.
I still have difficulty imagining that.
:18:42
You know, dirt cleans off
a lot easier than blood, Quintus.
:18:46
- Here he is.
- Highness.
:18:48
COMMODUS: Senator Gaius, Senator Falco.
:18:50
Beware of Gaius.
He'll pour a honeyed potion in your ear...
:18:53
and you'll wake up one day and all
you'll say is, "Republic."
:18:56
Well, why not?
Rome was founded as a republic.
:18:59
Yes, and in a republic
the senate has the power.
