- It won't be long before the cool waters

of tivoli spout from the
fountains in Caesar's gardens

- another glorious achievement
for our divine Caesar

hero of the battlefields.

- Watch your tongue baronius.

Caligula has eyes and ears everywhere.

So be careful, you could lose your head.

- Only the other day,
he exclaimed in the circus,

I only wish that people had one head.

- And he made the unfortunate one telus,

maintain his promise to exchange his life

for the health of his emperor.

- And don't forget, he
had his cousin, gemellus,

tortured to death because his
breath smelled of medicine.

Caesar was offended thinking
he had taken it to protect

himself against his emperor.

And the poor man had only
taken a cure for his cough.

He had no chance to prove his innocence.

- They say he practices
incest with his own sisters.

- And I've also heard it said
that he wanted his favorite

horse lncitatus made a senator for life.

- We'd better get back to guard duty.

Don't forget there's a
banquet tonight at the palace.

- No one else makes me feel like you do.

- Why must you lie?

You say the same thing to drusilla I know.

- She told me.
- Your sister?

Your sister's not to be trusted.

She told livilla too.

- That's the reason our
little sister's jealous.

- She's still very young.

- Perhaps, but she's developing fast.

The other day I saw her
masturbating your horse,

- that's because I
nominated him senator.

All the patrician women in
Rome want to become mares.

Wouldn't you like to be one?

- I don't want you to go
with the others anymore.

I'm your mare and you're my stallion.

- I drink to your health divine Caesar

and your lovely sisters.

What causes you such mirth divine one?

- The mere thought that I
could have all these people

put to death in an instant

strikes me as a hilarious idea.

Don't you find it extremely amusing?
I certainly do.

Let me smell your breath.

- I took some medicine for my throat.

- You smell like a skunk.

You dare to use an
antidote against Caesar?

Not very respectful of you.

Take him away. Now.

- I meant no offense have mercy on me.

- I want for macronious punished.

For offending his emperor
and his emperor's sisters.

An unpardonable crime, have him executed.

- I beg you, I have done nothing.

No!

- You drive me insane with desire

I'll come to you tonight drusilla.

- Come now, tonight we have
other business to attend to.

-Ohmwmw.

- Do you need any help dearest sister?

- Is calisto's weapon not
enough to satisfy you livilla?

Agrippina tells me he has more to offer

than any man in the empire.

- Our dear brother's
stallion beats him by hand.

- Claudius tiberius drusus
germanicus, why do you sleep?

- I was resting caligula,
but call me uncle claudius.

All those other, other
names don't mean anything.

- Aren't you ashamed groveling
like that at your age?

- I'm tired, very tired.

The destruction of
carthage has worn me out.

- The destruction of carthage indeed.

Wear yourself out down there.

- Are you enjoying yourself, sister?

Halt

- let me pass I have an
urgent message for Caesar.

Ave, where do
you come from messenger?

-Ave I bring news to
the emperor from Germany.

Let him pass.

- Make way I bring news to
Caesar from distant lands!

It's a message for the emperor.

I wonder what it could be.

Make way
for the imperial messenger

Greetings
divine emperor of all Rome.

- I trust you are the
bringer of good news.

- Ah, with that I were,
the tidings are sad.

Lentulus has betrayed you during
his struggle with the huns.

- Go on, I would hear of it.

Oh Caesar,

there seems to be a plot against you.

Who plots against

- your sister, drusilla and
- bring him wine

- I'll see to it at once.

Now you
shall drink to my health.

Curius?

- At your command.

- Go with the praetorian
guard and arrest every member

of the families of the
Lentulus and lepidus

together with their slaves.

- Your orders will be carried
out within the hour Caesar.

Murder them all!

Speak

No.

Provolonus will loosen

your tongue for you.

No no

- you've got to turn that faster than that

or I'll get angry.

Now, I want the names
of all those involved

in the plot against our
emperor or you'll be dead.

- I don't care.

I'll never tell you.

You have no right to talk to me like this.

You know who I am, I'm lepidus.

First console of Rome.

- Why should I care about
the first console of Rome?

As far as I'm concerned,
you're just a filthy traitor.

Faster!

- He won't speak.

Well it's better, his loss is our gain.

After you have tortured him to death.

Macaronious, curius, come.

How does your emperor
look from that position?

- Is this the way you
repay those who helped you

build your empire?

- I almost forgot you were the one

who suffocated the divine
tiberius with a cushion.

Killing your old uncle in
such a barbarous fashion

was a reprehensible thing to do.

Curius?

- At your service Caesar.

- I want you to slit
this murderer's throat.

And remember when you do
it, it must be done slowly.

I want him to suffer.

-Hmm

- I don't wish you to
suffer lepidus, drink this.

- You think I'm a fool?

I knew that the messenger
was eluding to you.

- Alluding to me?

Could you think anything like that?

What reason would I possibly have?

Perhaps drusilla has a reason.

She wants her new husband to be emperor.

She is more than a little
ambitious, but why me?

I'm already first lady of the empire.

- Because you want the
empire for your son,

- a child who still sucks
from a slaves nipples,

leave little nero out of it.

You see conspirators hiding
in every corner of the palace

and have anybody you suspect

put to death on some feeble excuse.

- The more you kill, the fewer
enemies you have.

- With lepidus and
macronious out of the way,

who is there left to fear?

- No one at all.

But I should have drusilla killed and you.

However, I will send you
into exile in caprine

for the time being.

You must understand if
only for appearances sake,

I have to send you away, I have to.

- I'm grateful for your
leniency, it's most generous.

Try to be the same with the populace.

They love you and respect you.

- No, don't ask me that.

As long as there are enemies
of Caesar hidden everywhere.

I want them.

If it means putting the city
to the torch, every inch of it.

- But why?

He's so inhuman.

- He is Caesar, it's all predestined.

You can't change it.

So stop worrying about it.

You are soon to follow
the will of the gods

and fulfill the prophecy.

Once his sisters are on caprine in exile,

your way will be free to become empress.

- How can I come to caligula's notice?

- Leave the arrangements to
me dear, trust in your mother.

I know one way.

He'll want everyone in Rome to forgive him

for this massacre.

So he'll give them a spectacle.

It's the patrician way to
placate the fury of the mob.

And you will be the first woman

to fight a gladiator and win.

Why else do you suppose I
taught you how to do battle?

And when you were only a baby I gave you

your first lessons in love making.

- By order of Caesar, glorious
ruler of the Roman empire

and the population

- after the punitive measures taken

for the plot against his divine person.

- There is going to be a
free distribution of grain

at the end of the combat in the circus.

- Come on

- Oh they adore me, just for my amusement,

they'll sacrifice their lives.

- Will be thumbs down this
time, what do you say?

-10

- make it 20.

-All right.

- I hate violence.

Unless those who perform it,
are put to death instantly.

- Enjoying yourself little sister?

- More than I can say, I love
the way you use your thumb.

- I'm afraid your boyfriend
does not enjoy it.

Each gladiator to die takes with him

a handful of sestertius
which he has bet on him.

- You speak the truth, Caesar.

It pains the pocket as well as the heart,

- try to think of a new game, I get tired.

All this blood is so boring.

I want to be excited.

Leave it to me divine one.

I prepared a surprise for you.

- Ave Caesar, mighty emperor I salute you.

- Why send such a splendid
creature to die in the arena?

- I did my best to dissuade
her from entering the contest.

Only she's a determined
girl and I couldn't.

She wanted to put her life in your hands.

Her destiny depends on her
emperor's thumb up or down.

- I Grant you two acres of
land and 400 gold pieces.

- My thanks Caesar.

- I granted you double
'cause you're a woman.

But I want something in exchange.

I want you to be emasculate him.

Do not disobey me.

You are ordered by your divine emperor.

- You have no choice messalina,

obey him or you will be
killed as well as me.

- You didn't obey me.

Made a fool of me in front of the crowd.

I want to know why you did it.

Your pride could get you into trouble.

- I see no reason to turn
a gladiator into a eunuch.

You have courage
and your reply is sharp,

but is that the real reason
you assert your will?

With due respect Caesar,

I am strong because I'm still a virgin

and will remain so until I
decide to change my condition.

Are you telling me

that if I order you to bed with me,

you'll deny me my desire in that too?

- Yes and I'll ask the
judgment of Aphrodite.

- Do not call upon the
goddess of love to intervene.

She could not be fair to one
whom she could only envy.

- My dedication to vesta is
second only to my loyalty

to you. And it is for you
to decide my fate

as you so desire.

- Please let me go now.

- Do not fear him my lady.

He was made a eunuch
before Caesar permitted him

to attend you at the baths.

- He could have been spared.

I did not need assistance.

I swim very well.

The temperature's to my liking.

- I would appreciate a swimming lesson.

Didn't you hear? I gave you an order!

- Yes mistress.

- Aren't you going to remove that?

- Oh no, I cannot.

- I would have thought a eunuch
had nothing there to hide.

The gods were indeed kind to you.

It's big as a fir tree.

It must be as been as told as long ago

that if you prune a tree
it's branches grows stronger.

Come in.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa

Ave Caesar.

- Every mare in the stable lives

only to be mounted by that stallion.

- Oh curius he is undoubtedly
the greatest stallion

in the empire my lncitatus,

organize a gala evening to
honor my remarkable horse.

Now go.

I will make you a gift my dear.

As soon as it is born, you
shall have the son of lncitatus.

Today at the request of Caesar

to confer the honorary right
of the stallion lncitatus

to sit here among us.

As a basis for
this demand he would remind us,

how when Alexander was in macedon,

he deified his horse bucephalus.

- The points Caesar makes is just.

But I would ask you fathers of the senate

to imagine what the divine
Augustus would have said.

- Well, did you hear that?

Oh, noble lncitatus.

The wise words of your fellow senators.

Listen.

- Your pretension's divine
Caesar are an insult

to the senate and to the people overall.

- I envy your tongues,

that they can twist such
thoughts into words.

Have you forgotten who
named this noble creature

and covered him with glory?

Surely you can't have forgotten.

It was the romans.

If your opinion is that his
breathing doesn't quite reach

the standard of your own well
he has a pedigree to prove it.

It's an insult to the senate

and an affront to Rome.

I never heard
of anything so ridiculous.

- Do I have to remind you as well?

That if it were not for my

wise and just form of ruling.

You would not be here at all.

- In that case I prefer to
retiring into voluntary exile.

- I will follow you
- I agree with you

Absolutely agree.

- As you would have it,
exile can be very lonely,

a horrid experience,

especially when you are out
of favor with your emperor.

And there's no need to go.

You can remain in the senate
and be at Liberty to say

anything you like there.

I only want you to admit
this horse is your equal.

- Our return will disturb
the peace and tranquility of

caligula.

- That's the understatement
of the year 50.

I'm going to keep well out
of his way for the moment.

He'll go mad when he finds
we've left the island.

- It seems his craze he already found.

Messalina.

I think I can deal with her.

She's a cheap little trollop.

- Permit me, divine Caesar,
to present my friend

piso and his young bride.

- A couple of such celebrated virtue

and they do great honor
to Rome and her empire.

- My life and my property
are yours to command

divine Caesar.

- Of that we are certain.

Go now and join my guests.

- Thank you.

- Come

- follow me.

- A particularly revolting couple.

- I would bet a gold
earring they're both virgins

- you think?

- One look tells you.

- Curius

- What may I do for you Caesar?

- Contrive a way of getting our newlyweds

to consummate their love in
the imperial bedchamber.

- It shall be done.

- The marriage will now be consummated.

According to ancient custom

as laid down

by romulus and the venerable
Caesar octavian Augustus.

Leave us now.

- Take our hands off the bride.

She's mine.

Turn over, the consecration ceremony

is not complete without the husband.

It seems that our emperor
is displeased because

they refuse to make
his horse senator.

That's because they were allowed
to vote in secret.

But he has convened
another meeting

and they have to vote openly
so he can see who's against him.

When he's bored, watch his temper.

- Nothing seems to amuse him tonight...

- I don't want to get bored too.

- Drink this my divine one.
- It will give you vigor

and the joy of living. Here.

- It's powerful wine.
- It's good wine.

There's a little crushed
lotus blossom in it.

Drink as much as you like,
it's good for you.

It was prepared especially for
you by my mother.

- Well, I think your mother knows
more even than bacchus

it's a drink fitting for an emperor
Ms. Avina.

- Your health a lot to her,

- yet I don't feel well.

- Is it the return of those
sisters of yours?

- Ah, they've not approached
me since they returned.

I know they want me
to pardon them

but I have no intention of doing so.

They are disgraceful.

I don't think I should even talk to them.

- I've called you to a meeting here

so as to avoid suspicion,

if news of this plot leaks out,

all of us here will fall victim

to the source of the praetorian guard.

Luckily even curius has realized

at last that caligula must be removed

from power for the good of the empire.

- Well at least that's positive,

but don't have many illusions.

It's going to be dangerous.

It's my duty to warn all of
you that if any of my brothers'

legions remain faithful to
him, the outcome is in doubt.

- I know, it's a difficult task,

but a great deal of
preparation has gone into it.

Under pressure I feel the key man

should fall under our command

-and curius?

- He's a problem we'll have to deal with.

He will have outlived his purpose.

- We need someone to lead
the revolt, nominal head,

a man who has public approval

- still claudius has to
agree if he must rule.

- You'll find he will if he
believes he's destined to.

Be careful about it though,

claudius must not realize who is in this.

It could mean the end.

I'm sure he'd find a plot unpardonable.

- Caligula must be warned at once.

- No.

His destiny is ordained, you
cannot link it with yours.

- There's no other
solution except to flee.

- Leave it to me.

I've always foreseen what is right to do.

My advice has always served you well.

- You here, to what do I owe this honor?

- I had trouble sleeping.

I saw it was illuminated in here.

So I wandered right in.

I'd probably find no one
else awake at this hour,

except you sage claudius.

- I study history all night.

You call that sage, then sage is claudius.

- You should be a part of
history, it's only right.

Not simply sitting there studying it.

- I leave that to my glorious nephew.

Your youth prevents you
appreciating the past.

- Humility is not one of the
best requisites of greatness.

You should not underestimate yourself.

- Your kindness is ovennhelming.

I don't know why I should
merit such appraisal from you.

Tell me the real reason that you are here.

- I'm bored with life here in the palace.

I need some new distractions,
a new experience.

I'm tired of doing what a
woman is supposed to do.

- It's not easy for a
woman like you to satisfy

your ambitions in the
world we live in now.

She must conform.

But with me, you've no
need to play that role.

My impotence prevents me from
treating you as others do.

- Don't resign yourself to so sad of fate,

I'll soon restore your former vigor

and make you feel a man once more.

If you desire me, I'll
be yours and yours alone.

I'll be true to you always.

Death to caligula!

Death to caligula!

- Where is curius, my
faithful preacher to the god

and messalina?

Calisto? Aginus?

Where are my sisters now?

They've all betrayed me.

Avenge myself upon them.

I swear before all mighty jove,

I am emperor and my origins are divine.

- You have always been my friend

and I know what you are here for.

Curius you, you are my witness.

You must be sure that
those who follow us know,

that I died with dignity and with poise.

- Long live claudius.

Long live the emperor!

- Do you think I'm beautiful, forsythia?

- More beautiful than Helen of Troy,

a whore where they have the guidance.

- You wicked little thing!

- But my lady, did not
jove choose a whore

his Venus?

- I want to be a vestal
virgin for claudius!

- Don't be too hard on one who already has

difficulty getting it up!

- Oh you're just envious of him because

at least he doesn't drag it on the floor!

- Oh, as an emperor I envy
him, but not as a man.

Feast your eyes on this!

- This looks like a whore house!

Get out of here!

All of you!

You're so beautiful.

You can arouse me harder than the emperor.

You give me back

the strengths I had in my youth.

This, this is the greatest gift that

anyone can

bestow.

The emperor would be eternally grateful.

I never dared to dream about

having a son.

Having an heir to rule the empire.

With you, suddenly everything is possible.

- None of us knew, or even suspected,

what claudius intended to do.

Thanks to Emilia,

she caught us red handed.

- Won't you tell him he's bad?

- You have to believe me.

I'm telling the truth.

Never doubt my sincerity,
affection and loyalty,

agrippina.

I even managed to convince the
emperor claudius to let you

keep the rooms you occupied
during the reign of caligula.

- And what was his reaction?

- So far, no objection.

On the contrary,

she appeared to go along
with a decision about you.

- Surprisingly generous offer.

Her generosity,

I hope spreads to my uncle, claudius.

- Careful, don't lose control of it!

You might get found out.

And then they'll really castrate you.

- Sorry, my lady,

- and at once, they'll
put it in your mouth

and crown you with Laurel leaves.

- Would they do that?

- And then you'll be roast
on a spit until you're

well done.

- No, no, my lady, no!

- What do you mean no?

You're forbidden to say no!

- No, no, I mean, yes!

- That's better.

Othennise you'll be tortured
before they roast you,

and pull out all your fingernails.

- One by one?

- Now get off.

- Oh, divine one, noble
agrippina wishes to see you.

- Agrippina, here?

How is she?

Don't wait, show her in!

- I greet you messalina.

- Oh, what a surprise my dearest niece!

Come,

it's a pleasure to see you here!

Make yourself at home.

- I was unable to give
you my congratulations

earlier, so I thought it was time

to corner you in person.

No stay, testosteroni,

I may need you.

I could slip and fall in the pool.

I don't wish to drown,

and I'm sure my illustrious
niece doesn't either.

Perhaps you care to take a dip, love?

You're really in splendid
physical condition!

- Thank you!

I could say the same about you, empress.

But I'm puzzled about something,

- about what?

- Why you're so happy with my uncle.

Surely you're not satisfied by him.

- I find his mind exciting,

and he's so full of spirit!

- He's a true genius.

- Oh, he's a genius, but they can be dumb.

- There are other things.

- So said the great Titus
livius of his fair land.

And I agree with him.

Ave, claudius agusta.

Ave.

May Mars be with you.

- And with you too, good
and valorous thespasian.

You bring news?

- Good news, claudius.

King caratacus is under
siege in the aulus plautius

and will soon have to surrender
for lack of food and water.

The rest of his tribe is in flight,

the cavalry in hot pursuit.

- Thanks must be made to the gods.

Soon we shall return to
Rome in triumphant glory

to enjoy once more, the comfort
of our homes and families.

- How dare you come in
here without my permission.

- You told me I could
enter whenever I wanted to.

- Only if you have
something important for me,

if I remember correctly

- and I do.

- Go.

Well, what is it?

- Is not I who have it.

- I do not like riddles, speak clear.

- I was speaking of this.

- Oh.

It looks the same as before.

Why say you do not have it?

- It's not like that of the other,

his is surely double the size.

- No I don't believe it.

- It's true.

Absolutely true.

A satyr beside him is a child.

- Where did you find him?

- He's a regular client
of the house of pleasure.

- Very interesting.

- I already arranged everything.

- Good morning to all my fat cows.

- I appreciate the thought,

you came into my mind just now

when I realized today's the day of Venus!

I just had a feeling you'd
turn up today, arcadia.

- I'll bet you say that to all the lads.

We know each other well
enough to tell the truth!

- It's impossible to
hide anything from you!

You see right into my heart!

And another thing!

A girl from anatolia?

How about her body?

- How did this?

- But are you sure she
would do what I ask?

- Oh she'll do anything.

Of course she'd do what you like!

Wait until you see her!

- I do what you want.

- By, the gods, this is
all my dreams come true!

- Don't be afraid to touch me!

I've waited years for someone like you.

- But you're as delicate as a Rose!

- Roses are grown only for one reason.

They have to be plucked.

Ah!

Let the pruning begin!

Someone like you is what I've been waiting

years to meet.

In fact, you have quite a
reputation with the ladies.

Please!

- It's a disgrace to the Roman empire!

A woman like that laying empress.

You, whom I've always trusted, allowing

this scandal to continue!

How can you, callisto?

You betrayed me.

- That's not fair, agrippina.

How could we know what a
claudius's intentions would be

when messalina was presented at court?

She took him by storm.

- Well, you stood by and
did nothing to stop it.

Did you?

She must go.

And if we give her enough hurt,

I'm sure she'll do the job us.

- And we'll stay well out it.

- Not we, I do.

You must use your influence
with the praetorian guard and

have them caught together.

When the emperor's away, she's
almost always with cillio.

What do you think?

- I think it should be claudius.

Orders should come from him.

He should be persuaded that all
this sorted scandal can hurt

the empire.

- I don't think claudius would
mind her absence too much.

- It's all clear.

Come on seven.

Two I win.

Yeah roll them again.

Hey, look at that.

Come on.

Hey, look
at the whore with the dwarf.

Let's have some fun with them.

Oh!

Let me go!

- Let me down!

What do you want from me?

Ow, oh

stop

let go.

Leave her alone!

Did you hear me?

I've had enough!

- Oh thank you sir, thank you.

-Are you all right my lady?

- Pray to whom do we owe our lives?

- Veroni, I'm an instructor
at the school of gladiators.

Oh my empress.

- You deserve a reward,
and you shall have it.

- You go ahead to the
palace and tell my slaves

to prepare a bath of perfumes and oils.

Hurry.

This young man will escort me.

- Yes divine one.

- No, veroni wait.

You shall have your reward
here where you saved my life.

- Gaius silio wishes to
have audience with you.

- Well, I will see him.

- I bring your news of the
divine emperor, your highness.

- So claudius is on his way home.

- He is leaving the island
of britain in a few days.

He wanted me to proceed
him with the good news.

- The empress, does she know yet?

- No, she is not in the palace.

- I will see that she receives this news.

She may find it too much for her.

You see, she just gave birth.

- Birth to an heir?

- A boy, handsome.

- But

- I know what you're thinking.

The emperor's been away for a year,

so he cannot be the father,

but the emperor is divine
and what's impossible for us.

Is possible for gods.

Immortals can make their thoughts,

perform deeds for them.

On second thought, you can tell messalina,

but allow me to prepare
her as I think fit.

Don't forget in her condition,
she wouldn't like a surprise.

- This is getting late.

My absence will already have
been noticed at the palace.

- Will we see each other again?

- Never, you must forget
this encounter forever.

Do you hear?

- Never in a million years.

- You're sounding like a bore.

- You look well, messalina,
let me look at you.

Motherhood has made you stronger

and more beautiful than you ever were.

- Yes.

Everything predicted by the
oracle has come true for me.

I have been so very fortunate.

The gods indeed smile on me
and give me their protection.

My divine son enjoys good health too.

- Claudius will be overjoyed to see.

- You mean, he's soon to return?

- He's on his way.

- I'm not sure how to
explain to him what happened.

He'll never accept the child.

- I think maybe there's an answer.

Virgin motherhood among
the gods is not uncommon.

People will believe anything of deities.

- I told silio claudius is
only to think to have a heir.

- Did you say silio?

But he's the emperor's companion.

- He's the one who brought
news of his return.

- I knew silio well,

when he went to conquer
gall, I was only a child.

I was in love with him.

I'll enjoy seeing him again.

- You shall very soon and
I'm sure you'll get news

that is only for you.

- The centurian Gaius silio
requests to see you divine one.

- Very well, I'll see him.

Leave us.

Oh silio I think I'm going to faint.

- My divine empress.

- I'll always be valaria to you

the sweet playmate of your youth.

- Do not remind me of days lost forever.

Fate has decided othennise.

- Is it not fate that
brings you to me here today.

- Fate is seldom kind

and it brings me here in
different circumstances.

Now there is an impenetrable
barrier that separates us.

- You're wrong.

The barrier between us will fall

if you kiss me as you did
when you said farewell.

- Try this phallus fashioned
by nature, my lady.

It'll give you a figure.

You too, sutrilous.

It will, it will remind you of arcadians.

- You impudent little runt!

You know arcadian too, eh?

- Oh I did, before he was food for worms.

Our divine messalina sucked him

drier then a dedicated coconut!

- I'll thank you to keep quiet!

- I mean, no ill offense!

I merely told rosella

what a lovely couple of
doves her aunt and silio are.

- But be careful in public, silio.

It could cause talk.

- I think those present are well occupied.

- Yet there are those here who spy on us!

- Agrippina.

- She can't wait to catch me out.

And she'll be the first
to inform the emperor.

She still has a lot of influence.

- Then let us find a quieter place.

- Not now my dear, my absence
would soon arouse suspicion.

Long live the emperor

Long live the emperor!

Long live the emperor!

Long live the emperor!

Long live the emperor!

- Down with the sails!

Rest your oars.

Long live the emperor!

Long live the emperor!

- Ave divine Caesar.

Rome is waiting to honor your triumph.

- There's no need for us to
hurry back to Rome, saranous.

I think it wiser to wait here
in austia to, to be ready.

That we give our senators time
to prepare for our arrival.

Long live the emperor!

Long live the emperor!

Long live the emperor!

- Take this to the senate.

- Oh divine claudius.

- Oh my dearest niece.

As impatient and impulsive
as you ever were.

I gave orders that the women
were to await my return

at the palace.

- But I had to see you at once and alone.

- What is it that's so urgent?

- I'm not sure how to start.

I wanted to be the first to tell you,

as you're nearest relative,

I felt it my duty to
come here and inform you

about certain things that have occurred.

- Is there anything wrong
between you and my divine wife,

messalina?

- No, I do not enter into this.

It's between you and your
wife, and there is much wrong.

- She has given me a male heir.

It's good enough.

- That you accept it is not the question.

I thought you should know
that every man in Rome

calls the empress his concubine.

- I forbid you to talk like that.

- Forbid it.

But they all talk like that.

If you like, you can turn a blind eye.

You need do nothing until you
have proof of her behavior.

I just wanted to put you on your guard.

I thought you should know.

I'm only a woman like her
and women tend to be jealous.

But jealousy you will find
can be caused by memories.

Small girl who loved you once.

And always hoped that
you would find happiness.

It upsets her to see you betrayed.

- A budget for the year is
carefully outlined here.

So you can inspect it

and have time to make your comments on it.

I trust you approve.

With you looking after it, I
hardly to have need to see it.

Our coffers have never been so full,

despite the expense of
the new port at austia.

You've always handled
it with amazing ability.

And for this reason,

the acceptance of your resignation
is out of the question.

How can I persuade you to remain

in the post of governor general?

- It is my duty to thank you, but

- I think I deserve an explanation

that goes a little further than that.

Do not fear to give me
your reasons, speak.

- Very well.

The reason I handed in my resignation

is the behavior of the
empress, divine Caesar.

- Go on don't hesitate.

I'm prepared to listen to
whatever it is that you have to

tell me no matter how painful
it may be for me to hear.

- Her conduct is altogether
unworthy of her position.

I was hoping to spare you the details.

There's unrest among the population.

Even the patricians are starting
to talk, the senate too.

And they say she is
planning to put Gaius silio

on the throne in your place.

- It's not important to protect anything

other than the empire.

Remember what comes first is the state.

I must ignore my pride, so forget yours.

You are right divine Caesar.

I will stay.

- For the security of the state.

I will carry out the
duty that I am forced to

humiliated beyond words, I swear

messalina shall be tried.

And if found guilty,

I shall condemn her.

She dies but, you have
orders to spare britannicus.

I want no harm to befall her son.

The child is innocent.

Leave us now.

Stop where you are!

- You still need to submerge yourself

in memories, divine one?

- The past is what I live for.

Agrippina, what else is there?

- I don't value the past.

Today's more valuable.

More than the old world.

You must live for today.

Prepare for the future!

I know you learn, and you
have a duty to the populace.

But first learn to live a little!

-And learn to be more human?

- Perhaps.

- You think I'd rule better?

- One day, the historians
will write books about you.

And I hope they'd be fair.

But I want those who follow us

and read about you and know

you were a great emperor!

- Why are you so nervous, my darling?

There's nothing to fear.

- I fear not for myself,

I live only to love you, messalina.

Where I live, I will be dead

if you're not with me.

So I fear not.

- Don't worry, no one will disturb us now.

The emperor is too occupied
with affairs of his own.

He won't come to me until tonight.

Kiss me, my love.

- I, tiberius claudius
nero rusus romanicus

emperor of Rome by the will of the gods,

and by the people elected
make for my legitimate wife

Claudia Julia agrippina
who from this moment on

will obtain the title empress of Rome.
