Caesar, a word. It's important.
:36:05
The Egyptian galleys in the harbor
have been taking on men and armaments.
:36:09
- When will they be prepared?
- Tomorrow, with the morning wind.
:36:14
Burn them tonight.
:36:16
Their ships lie close to shore.
:36:18
- The fire may spread to the city.
- Let's hope it doesn't.
:36:21
I can't risk a blockade.
:36:23
Remember, not before tonight.
Prepare as secretly as possible.
:36:26
I need this day.
:36:28
Good luck.
:36:33
Why not before tonight, my lord?
Why does Caesar need this day?
:36:37
I can't give you that information,
for the time being.
:36:48
Flavius.
:36:50
Here it is, Caesar. Just arrived.
:36:53
The gods shouldn't

:36:58

:37:00
- Be on your way, you haven't much time.
- Hail Caesar.

It's called an epilepse because of the
arching caused by muscular spasms...
:37:30
...the contortions.
The early Greeks considered...
:37:33
...those who suffered from it
to be favored by the gods.
:37:37
The great Alexander, they say...
:37:39
...had this falling sickness.
:37:41
And, so they say,
the mighty Caesar too.
:37:47
Your Majesty, forgive me.
Sisogenes, the library.
:37:50
- What are you saying?
- The Romans set fire...
:37:52
...to the Egyptian fleet.
- It's about time.
:37:55
Come see for yourself.
The fire's spread to the city.
:37:58
- The city?
- Just a few buildings...
