{Female_Narrator_01}
The year is 329 BC.
{Female_Narrator_02}
Italy.
{Female_Narrator_03}
Warring city-states vie for power and superiority over their neighbours.
{Female_Narrator_04}
The Senate and People of Rome control The Latin states …
{Female_Narrator_05}
…but enemies surround them.
{Female_Narrator_06}
The Republic stands at a crossroads in history…
{Bombasticus_Maximus_01}
Romans! Senators! Friends!
{Bombasticus_Maximus_02}
Latium is firmly under the rule of the Senate and People of Rome!
{Bombasticus_Maximus_03}
The Latin people are now one!
{Bombasticus_Maximus_04}
Not since noble Brutus drove out the last King, have we known such a glorious day.
{Bombasticus_Maximus_05}
But now, my friends, in this hour of glory, we must be on our guard.
{Bombasticus_Maximus_06}
To the south, treacherous Greeks and Samnites block our trade!
{Bombasticus_Maximus_07}
Tarquinii groans beneath the tyrant’s heel!
{Bombasticus_Maximus_08}
That tyrant threatens Rome!
{Bombasticus_Maximus_09}
Will we abandon Tarquinii?
{Bombasticus_Maximus_10}
And now barbarians raid from the north. Burning and pillaging roman lands!
{Bombasticus_Maximus_11}
Shall we let danger fester and grow?
{Bombasticus_Maximus_12}
Or will we act as Romans? With courage and dignity.
{Bombasticus_Maximus_13}
Remember.
{Bombasticus_Maximus_14}
We are the Sons of Mars!
{Bombasticus_Maximus_15}
As senate leader I call upon Tribunes Gaius Julius and Decius Brutus to smash the Gauls and relieve Tarquinii.
{Bombasticus_Maximus_16}
All those in favour say I.
{Group_of_Senators_01}
AVE! AVE! AVE!
{Group_of_Senators_02}
Infamy! Shame!
{Group_of_Senators_03}
No!
{Group_of_Senators_04}
NO! NO!
{Group_of_Senators_05}
WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR!
{Group_of_Senators_06}
“I” (followed by cheering)
{Julii_Leader_01}
Gods! I hate Gauls.
{Julii_Leader_02}
My grandfather hated them too. Even before they put out his eyes.
{Julii_Leader_03}
Did you think I’d be out here on the frontier without a good reason?
{Julii_Leader_04}
Yes - Rome needs a strong frontier.
{Julii_Leader_05}
No - Rome doesn’t need unwashed barbarians at her gates.
{Julii_Leader_06}
So - that’s why I’m here, the leader of the Julii, to bring Roman order to stinking Gauls.
{Julii_Leader_07}
Revenge. That’ll be good too.
{Julii_Leader_08}
This war against the Gauls won’t last long.
{Julii_Leader_09}
When it’s done, I’ve got plans.
{Julii_Leader_10}
This is all about power. Power in Rome. Going down that road means dealing with all my rivals.
{Julii_Leader_11}
The Senate. The Greeks. Those Carthaginian elephant riders. The Scipii and the Brutii families too.
{Julii_Leader_12}
After all, the man who controls Rome rules the world!
{Julii_Leader_13}
And one day, I will be Emperor...
{Brutii_Senator_01}
We Brutii are the only true Romans. We saved Rome. We drove out the kings. We made the Republic.
{Brutii_Senator_02}
The family deserve respect for that.
{Brutii_Senator_03}
Respect.
{Brutii_Senator_04}
And obedience.
{Brutii_Senator_05}
WE know what is best for Rome.
{Brutii_Senator_06}
New lands. Living space. Territory. Slaves.
{Brutii_Senator_07}
I know what must be done.
{Brutii_Senator_08}
The Greeks. They look down their perfumed noses at all Romans - and they hate us.
{Brutii_Senator_09}
I’m going to give them a reason for hate. When I’ve CRUSHED them.
{Brutii_Senator_10}
Roman steel, that’s the answer.
{Brutii_Senator_11}
Roman steel in the Brutii fist.
{Brutii_Senator_12}
And the other great Roman families?
{Brutii_Senator_13}
The Scipii - trash. They have no respect. For proper Roman ways. For us.
{Brutii_Senator_14}
The Julii prostitute themselves! As if “the people” mattered. Bah!
{Brutii_Senator_15}
We Brutii MUST lead Rome...
{Scipii_Politician_01}
My family – the house of Scipii – are beloved of the Gods.
{Scipii_Politician_02}
A proud boast but true all the same.
{Scipii_Politician_03}
In return, we have served Rome, ruled well - led her armies to glory!
{Scipii_Politician_04}
It has cost us dearly, despite the love of the Gods.
{Scipii_Politician_05}
Sometimes, the hatred of men is stronger!
{Scipii_Politician_06}
Our dead lie in many graves, put there by Carthaginian swords - and a few Greek ones.
{Scipii_Politician_07}
Even Roman blades have taken Scipii lives. THAT we do not forget – or forgive.
{Scipii_Politician_08}
So, now our time has come. The spirits of the dead cry out for blood!
{Scipii_Politician_09}
I will lead our family in this undertaking.
{Scipii_Politician_10}
The Gods will grant us vengeance!
{Scipii_Politician_11}
When Sicily is Roman – when Carthage is crushed – when the other Roman families are gone - when the world is mine!
{Scipii_Politician_12}
Then I will stand before the Gods and be worthy of their love.
{Scipii_Politician_13}
And worthy to rule Rome!
{Old_Barbarian_01}
Before my grandfather’s grandfather was born, this was our land.
{Old_Barbarian_02}
These are good places. Our Gods live here, in the trees and rivers. They watch over us.
{Old_Barbarian_03}
We are happy. We hunt. We love. We have families. Homes. A good life.
{Old_Barbarian_04}
But sometimes, we must fight.
{Old_Barbarian_05}
The Romans disturb the Gods.
{Old_Barbarian_06}
They burn the forests.
{Old_Barbarian_07}
They take what is ours: wives, children, land.
{Old_Barbarian_08}
And the Romans talk of how they will help us, and protect us. They put us to sleep with golden promises. When we wake, all we had is gone – stolen!
{Old_Barbarian_09}
They take our sons and turn them into little Romans!
{Old_Barbarian_10}
Ha!
{Old_Barbarian_11}
So we fight to keep what is ours, what must STAY ours!
{Old_Barbarian_12}
There can be no peace. No peace with Romans - men of stone and iron and lies.
{Old_Barbarian_13}
There can be only war.
{Greek_Strategos_01}
The Greeks could rule the world.
{Greek_Strategos_02}
Alexander did.
{Greek_Strategos_03}
He took a Greek army to the far Indus. There was nothing left to conquer. The world was his.
{Greek_Strategos_04}
But Alexander is dead.
{Greek_Strategos_05}
His empire is gone.
{Greek_Strategos_06}
And so we live in evil days.
{Greek_Strategos_07}
The free men of Greece have turned on each other, instead of their proper enemies – those who envy all that Greeks have done.
{Greek_Strategos_08}
Alexander must weep - if the dead weep.
{Greek_Strategos_09}
I would weep in his place. But I would also hope.
{Greek_Strategos_10}
The world turns. What was may come again.
{Greek_Strategos_11}
The Fates still spin the web of men’s lives.
{Greek_Strategos_12}
So now, perhaps, the Gods wish Greeks to be great again.
{Greek_Strategos_13}
Perhaps a new Alexander will take up the sword.
{Greek_Strategos_14}
Bring order where there is chaos.
{Greek_Strategos_15}
Remake the world of men to a better plan.
{Greek_Strategos_16}
Perhaps...
{Egyptian_Scribe_01}
I have been in the service of Pharaoh for many, many years.
{Egyptian_Scribe_02}
It is my task to write down all that is decided. My father did this before me. And his father before him.
{Egyptian_Scribe_03}
We have faithfully recorded and seen much.
{Egyptian_Scribe_04}
Pharaoh is our Lord and Master. He is Horus reborn, and will be Osiris in the afterlife.
{Egyptian_Scribe_05}
All of Egypt lives and dies by His divine wish.
{Egyptian_Scribe_06}
And this is as it should be.
{Egyptian_Scribe_07}
We are his children. Pharaoh loves us all.
{Egyptian_Scribe_08}
We would conquer the world, so that all can know His wise rule.
{Egyptian_Scribe_09}
Even if Pharaoh did not ask this, we would do it.
{Egyptian_Scribe_10}
His enemies will be struck down.
{Egyptian_Scribe_11}
Night and darkness will take them.
{Egyptian_Scribe_12}
The sands will be stained red.
{Egyptian_Scribe_13}
All this will come to pass, for Pharaoh has decreed it.
{Egyptian_Scribe_14}
So it is written.
{Egyptian_Scribe_15}
So shall it be.
{Carthaginian_Seer_01}
Last night, the crying of the children kept me awake.
{Carthaginian_Seer_02}
And I had a terrible vision.
{Carthaginian_Seer_03}
I saw the fall of our city. Bleached bones under a harsh sun.
{Carthaginian_Seer_04}
Carthage - gone!
{Carthaginian_Seer_05}
Why would Baal send such a vision? He is not cruel.
{Carthaginian_Seer_06}
He has watched over us.
{Carthaginian_Seer_07}
We have had victories aplenty in war.
{Carthaginian_Seer_08}
Our merchants sail to all corners of the world.
{Carthaginian_Seer_09}
And yet now - I fear. I cannot help it.
{Carthaginian_Seer_10}
We are the envy of lesser people. They tell terrible lies about us.
{Carthaginian_Seer_11}
They do not understand, so they lie. But the Romans - they are the MASTERS of falsehood!
{Carthaginian_Seer_12}
War will come. I’m sure of it.
{Carthaginian_Seer_13}
So I will have no more false visions. And...
{Carthaginian_Seer_14}
...I think the children will be quiet tonight.
{Desert_Warrior_01}
The desert is ours. It is my home.
{Desert_Warrior_02}
Invaders come here, but they do not leave.
{Desert_Warrior_03}
They do not understand the desert.
{Desert_Warrior_04}
They do not understand how it gives life. Or how it kills.
{Desert_Warrior_05}
So they die.
{Desert_Warrior_06}
And we grow stronger.
{Desert_Warrior_07}
The dead, now, the dead cannot pass on their new-found wisdom.
{Desert_Warrior_08}
So invaders keep coming, keep trying to take our lands and our wealth.
{Desert_Warrior_09}
But then, wealth flows through this land.
{Desert_Warrior_10}
And if our people have one failing, it is the love of wealth.
{Desert_Warrior_11}
It is sweeter than water. It is more powerful than the sword.
{Desert_Warrior_12}
For any sword can be turned aside with a gold coin.
{Desert_Warrior_13}
Gold will buy a thousand warriors.
{Desert_Warrior_14}
And a thousand warriors – why, they are the start of an empire!
