CASSIUS: People of Rome!
:05:05
On the fourth day of Antioch...
:05:08
we can celebrate the 64th day of the games.
:05:12
And in his majestic charity...
:05:17
the Emperor has deigned this day
to favour the people of Rome...
:05:22
with an historical final match.
:05:26
Returning to the Colosseum today,
after five years in retirement...
:05:32
Caesar is pleased to bring you...
:05:35
the only undefeated champion...
:05:39
in Roman history:
:05:41
The legendary Tigris of Gaul!
:05:46
[Crowd cheering]
:06:06
He knows too well
how to manipulate the mob.
:06:09
Marcus Aurelius had a dream
that was Rome, Proximo.
:06:12
This is not it.
:06:15
Marcus Aurelius is dead, Maximus.
:06:18
We mortals are but shadows and dust.
:06:21
Shadows and dust, Maximus!
:06:23
CASSIUS: Representing the training lyceum
of Antonius Proximo...
:06:27
Caesar is proud to give you...
:06:31
Aelius Maximus!
:06:35
[Horns blowing]
:06:36
[Crowd cheering]
:06:47
They embrace him
like he's one of their own.
:06:49
The mob is fickle, brother.
He'll be forgotten in a month.
:06:56
No, much sooner than that.
