:29:19
I hold before you
the Golden Spear of War.

:29:23
Placed into my hands
without dissent...

:29:26
...by the command and will
of the Senate of Rome.

:29:30
And now it is you,
the people of Rome, who must direct me.

:29:35
Where is the enemy?
:29:38
Where is Egypt? Show me the way!
:29:49
No!
:29:51
No!
:29:53
There!
:29:55
There is Egypt.
:30:19
And just as Antony had foretold...
:30:21
... the forces of Octavian
came to meet them...

:30:24
... on the spot where they landed.
:30:26
Which was at Actium, in Greece.
:30:31
Action begins
with the rise of the sun.

:30:33
Your plan is brave and simple.
It's possible on land...

:30:36
...but we debate
its wisdom on the sea.

:30:39
I have an enemy on land with fewer
troops, on sea with fewer ships.

:30:43
Let him debate the wisdom
of his position.

:30:45
I have a happy choice. To destroy him
wet or dry. I have chosen wet.

:30:52
I think it best, Euphranor, you report
to Cleopatra aboard her vessel.

:30:57
There you may point out to her...
:30:59
...the reasons why my brave simplicity
has failed.
