I twisted my ankle
:05:03
on my way to Rome,
:05:06
and spent several days
at Aulus Plautius' house.
:05:10
- If you fell for his wife...
- No, not Pomponia.
:05:14
They call her Lygia or Callina,
which is her barbarian name.
:05:20
Once, at daybreak, she was
bathing naked in the fountain,
:05:23
and I saw the rays of dawn
passing through her body.
:05:28
So she is as transparent
as a baby sardine?
:05:32
Don'tjoke.
I'm madly in love.
:05:37
My peace is gone, I crave no women,
gold or feasts... I want Lygia.
:05:41
Buy her, if she is a slave.
:05:44
She is a hostage.
Daughter of a Lygian king.
:06:08
I want to thank you
for sheltering my nephew.
:06:13
Gratitude has lead me here,
as well as the fact
:06:16
that you never visit the Circus
:06:20
- or the Amphitheatre.
- Old people grow fond of home.
:06:29
Let us listen to that laughter.
:06:32
- Aulus and Lygia are playing ball.
- Laughter, Petronius,
:06:37
seems to be your life's goal.
:06:40
Life is ajoke,
therefore I laugh.
