Quote context

[...]

- Gaius Martellus Livius, has asked that we, the Roman Senate should give these barbarians, these savages Roman citizenship and settle them on Roman lands.

- To treat these wondering murderers as brothers, equals.

- And what of our other provinces? What of Gaul? So loyal to us.

- What of Syria, and Egypt which sends us our grain?

- If we make Romans of these barbarians, can we withhold Roman citizenship from them?

- No!

- Then what becomes of the precious prize Roman citizenship once was? It becomes a cheap, common thing. It will be given away like bread.

- I say no!

- We are Romans! Warriors!

- Let us rid our minds of this poisonous idea.

- Crucify their leaders. Sell the rest as slaves.

- Teach them once and for all what it is to make war on Rome.
