1:02:00
lf Gracchus should decide
to move against you--
1:02:03
He won't!
Has no need to.
1:02:05
He has, with your assistance,
immobilized me altogether.
1:02:10
Your legions are still in camp
outside the city walls?
1:02:13
My legions?
1:02:15
Do you truly believe I'd order
my legions to enter Rome?
1:02:18
l only point out that
you can if you have to.
1:02:21
Are you not aware
of Rome's most ancient law...
1:02:23
that no general may enter the city
at the head of his armed legions?
1:02:26
- Sulla did.
- Sulla? To the infamy of his name!
1:02:30
To the utter damnation
of his line!
1:02:34
No, my young friend.
1:02:37
One day l shall cleanse this Rome
which my fathers bequeathed me.
1:02:41
l shall restore all the traditions
that made her great.
1:02:45
lt follows, then, that l cannot come
to power or even defend myself...
1:02:48
by an act which betrays
the most sacred tradition of them all.
1:02:52
l shall not bring my legions
within these walls.
1:02:56
l shall not violate Rome...
1:02:59
at the moment
of possessing her.
1:03:05
Go.
1:03:07
Prepare your troops
at once.
1:03:09
March out of Rome tonight,
but the city tribute is impossible.
1:03:14
We've already been made to look a fool.
Let's not add the trappings of a clown.
1:03:18
Leave by unfrequented streets,
without fanfare, without even a drum!
1:03:23
Sneak out.
1:03:26
As you wish.
1:03:28
And for heaven's sake,
my young friend...
1:03:31
try and see to it that you don't have
to sneak back again.
1:03:35
Farewell.
