:39:01
My powers
will pass to Maximus...

:39:06
to hold in trust...
:39:08
until the senate
is ready to rule once more.

:39:14
Rome is to be
a republic again.

:39:21
- Maximus.
- Yes.

:39:31
My decision disappoints you?
:39:39
You wrote to me once...
:39:43
listing the four chief virtues.
:39:48
Wisdom, justice...
:39:52
fortitude...
:39:54
and temperance.
:39:59
As I read the list,
I knew I had none of them.

:40:04
But I have other virtues, Father.
:40:08
Ambition.
:40:11
That can be a virtue
when it drives us to excel.

:40:16
Resourcefulness.
Courage.

:40:21
Perhaps not on
the battlefield, but...

:40:24
there are many forms of courage.
:40:28
Devotion to my family...
:40:32
and to you.
:40:37
But none of my virtues
were on your list.

:40:43
Even then it was as if
you didn't want me foryour son.

:40:50
You go too far.
:40:53
I searched the faces
of the gods...

:40:57
for ways to please you,
to make you proud.
