Atticus: The Romans took my family from me, 20 years ago. At night, I try to remember their faces, but I cannot. But I know that one day, the gods will bring me back to them.

Severus: I don't have time for this, Graecus; what are you suggesting? We cancel the games? Graecus: Of course not, merely postpone them. Severus: This amphitheatre has stood for a hundred years. It withstood the great earthquake. Graecus: It may not be safe. Use your eyes. I'm just saying, I cannot be held responsible for what may happen. Severus: Then don't be. I take full responsibility. How can we expect Rome to trust us to rebuild an entire city, if we can't stage a simple bloody spectacle?
