Lucius "Hanno" Verus

[edit]
  • I remember that day. I never forgot it. The day that a slave could take an emperor.
  • What does my past matter, when my future is only to die as a gladiator?
  • This is about survival! Survive!
  • [Referring to killer rhinos] All together, and when it charges, break for the wall.
  • I was owned. Now I will control an Empire.
  • I will not waste another generation of young men for their vanity.
  • Is this how Rome treats its heroes?! TELL ME! If his life has no value, what are yours worth?!
  • I've become well-versed in losing the things that I love. But now that I have found you, I have no desire to lose you again.
  • Wood or steel, a point is still a point!
  • Where we are, death is not. Where death is, we are not.
  • [To fellow gladiators] Strength and honor! [They all raise their swords to him and repeat in unison]
  • A man does not become emperor by bloodline alone. It must be taken by force and kept by force! Are you such a man as this?
  • [Last lines] Speak to me, Father.

Emperor Geta

[edit]
  • The gods have SPOKEN!

Macrinus

[edit]
  • You will be my instrument!
  • Do you hear that crowd? The greatest temple ever built. The Colosseum. Because this is what they believe in. Power.
  • That rage is your gift.
  • Rome will fall. I need only give it a push.
  • The best revenge is to become unlike the one who did the injury. I have made myself unlike... your father; he spoke of dreams, I speak of truth. And the only truth in my Rome is the law of the strongest. I was owned by an emperor. Now I control an Empire. Where else but in Rome can a man do that?
  • I shall deliver them Caraculla's head and the people shall acclaim me. That, my friend, is politics.

Lucilla

[edit]
  • [Holding out a jewellery ring to Lucius] This ring belonged to Maximus. I now give it to you. What is the dream of Rome, if its people are not free?

Dialogue

[edit]
Macrinus: Where were you born?
Lucius "Hanno" Verus: I don't know. I never knew a mother nor a father.
Macrinus: You will be my instrument.
Lucius "Hanno" Verus: Who are you?
Macrinus: Whose head could I give you to satisfy this fury?
Lucius "Hanno" Verus: The entire Roman army.
Macrinus: Too much.
Lucius "Hanno" Verus: The general will do.
Ravi: The odds are against you.
Lucius "Hanno" Verus: The odds are always against me.
