Livius:
[standing over the body of Timonides]
What happened, gentle Greek? Did you try to tell them there were three possibilities? Did you not know that there was a fourth possibility? This!
[picks up and throws spear away]
Lucilla:
This is the way they answer to reason - and now even you must see, this is the only way to answer them.
Livius:
Look at his face. Tell me what I must do in his name. March the army into Rome and drench the city with blood!
Lucilla:
He is dead.
Livius:
He does not seem dead to me. I can still feel his life. And can hear his words.
Lucilla:
He was my father's friend.
[uncovering the Christian cross Timonides wore around his neck]
Livius:
I will go alone into Rome. If I do not return by sunset, then let the army into Rome.
