:57:13
I can't stay away from Rome too long.
There are problems.
:57:16
Messages from Marc Antony
endlessly demanding my return.
:57:19
And on my way back, wars
to be fought in the east and north.
:57:23
Even in Rome itself
I'm not without opposition.
:57:27
Do to them
what you did to Achillas.
:57:30
This is opposition
of a different sort.
:57:32
They weave it cleverly, lightly,
like a cobweb.
:57:35
You know what happens when cobwebs
are not regularly swept away.
:57:39
Do you trust this Marc Antony?
:57:43
If anyone in the world,
I trust Antony.
:57:46
Let him brush away the cobwebs
for you and stay with me.
:57:50
You've been declared
dictator for a year.
:57:53
You can do what you want
with your time.
:57:56
Everything but make it stand still.
:58:00
If... When you return to Rome...
:58:03
...these wars that have to be fought
on the way, are they important?
:58:07
Well, there's no such thing
as an unimportant war.
:58:10
I've been reading in your commentaries
about your campaigns in Gaul.
:58:15
How does my writing
compare with Catullus?
:58:18
Well, it's different.
:58:21
Dull.
:58:22
Perhaps a little
too much description.
:58:25
You're being tactful.
Some of my critics, Brutus, for one...
:58:29
...tell me my Latin is not only
ungrammatical, but common.
:58:33
You spared his life more than once.
:58:36
People say it's because
Brutus is your son.
:58:40
Is that true?
:58:42
I have no son.
:58:44
- Calpurnia, your third wife...
- Fourth.
:58:47
...married to you how long?
12 years?
:58:51
And still, Caesar has no son,
no child at all.
:58:54
It is well-known that
Calpurnia is barren.
:58:58
A woman who cannot bear children...
