The rest is in Goïs hands.
1:41:06
- Amen.
- Amen.
1:41:16
In the Roman civil war...
1:41:19
...Julius Caesar knew he had
to march on Rome itself...
1:41:22
...which no legion was permitted to do.
1:41:25
Marcus Lucanus left us a chronicle
of what happened.
1:41:31
How swiftly Caesar had surmounted
the icy Alps...
1:41:35
...and in his mind conceived
immense upheavals, coming war.
1:41:40
When he reached the little Rubicon,
clearly through the murky night...
1:41:44
...appeared a mighty image
of his country in distress...
1:41:49
...grief in her face...
1:41:52
...her white hair streaming
from her tower-crowned head.
1:41:56
With tresses torn and shoulders bare,
she stood before him and sighing, said:
1:42:01
"Where further do you march? Where
do you take my standards, warriors?
1:42:06
If lawfully you come, if as citizens,
this far only is allowed."
1:42:14
Trembling struck his limbs.
1:42:16
And weakness checked his progress,
holding his feet at the river's edge.
1:42:20
At last he speaks.
1:42:22
Oh, thunderer...
1:42:24
...surveying great Rome's walls
from the Tarpeian rock.
1:42:29
Oh, Phrygian, house gods of lulus...
1:42:32
...clan and mysteries of Quirinus
who was carried off to heaven.
1:42:36
Oh, Jupiter of Latium, seated
in lofty Alba and hearths of Vesta.
1:42:41
Oh, Rome, equal to the highest deity,
favor my plans.
1:42:46
Not with impious weapons do I pursue you.
1:42:51
Here am I, Caesar...
1:42:53
...conqueror of land and sea,
your own soldier everywhere...
1:42:57
...now too if I am permitted.
