:24:00
proconsul oftransalpine Gaul.
:24:03
For the moment.
A victory over the Bretons--
:24:06
will bring me no closer
to a triumphal return to Rome...
:24:09
and Rome no closer
to the government it must have.
:24:12
Julius Caesar, King ofthe Romans.
:24:16
King?
:24:18
Vercingetorix, no.
:24:20
A king who founds a dynasty
is a hero...
:24:23
but his son, a mediocrity...
:24:26
and his grandson, a half-wit...
:24:28
or a monster.
:24:29
And his great-grandson,
probably both.
:24:33
I don't seek to destroy
the Republic.
:24:36
Only to rule it.
:24:39
A modest enough ambition.
:24:43
When Alexander the Great was
ten years younger than I am today...
:24:48
he had conquered
the entire civilized world.
:24:53
Atyour age, he was dead.
:24:56
All the more reason to hurry.
:25:03
Dine with me tonight.
:25:05
I am sure...
:25:07
you will fi nd it interesting.
:25:38
I pray to the gods that Caesar sends
1 00 legions after us.
:25:43
the Gauls only fear having
the sky fall on their heads.
:25:48
the Gaul who said that
to Alexander...
:25:51
was struck dead by lightning.
:25:54
take this lightning and eat it!
:25:59
Listen to me!
