  • Maximus

    You sent for me, Caesar?

    Caesar?

  • Marcus Aurelius

    Tell me again, Maximus.

    Why are we here?

  • Maximus

    For the glory of the Empire, sire.

  • Marcus Aurelius

    Ah, yes.

    Ah, yes, I remember.

    Do you see that map, Maximus?

    That is the world which I created.

    For25years...

    I have conquered, spilt blood, expanded the Empire.

    Since I became caesar, I've known four years without war.

    Four years of peace in 20.

    And for what?

    I brought the sword. Nothing more.

  • Maximus

    Caesar, your life-

  • Marcus Aurelius

    Please. Please don't call me that.

    Come. Please.

    Come sit.

    Let us talk together now- very simply-as men.

    Maximus... talk.

  • Maximus

    Five thousand of my men are out there in the freezing mud.

    Three thousand of them are bloodied and cleaved.

    Two thousand will never leave this place.

    I will not believe that they fought and died for nothing.

  • Marcus Aurelius

    And what would you believe, Maximus?

  • Maximus

    They fought for you... and for Rome.

  • Marcus Aurelius

    And what is Rome, Maximus?

  • Maximus

    I've seen much of the rest of the world.

    It is brutal and cruel and dark. Rome is the light.

  • Marcus Aurelius

    Yet you have never been there.

    You have not seen what it has become.
