41 Let's not think, let's drink. -As in the old days? -As in the old days.

— Commodus (Christopher Plummer)

42 That is the Roman way.

43 They do not see. They do not hear. Only the jackals who are waiting in darkness know. Only the vultures who are wheeling the black skies know.

— Lucilla (Sophia Loren)

44 We've burned their villages, we've crucified their leaders, we've enslaved their young.

— Timonides (James Mason)

45 You have such a gift for life, Lucilla. But I think you ask too much of it.

— Marcus Aurelius (Alec Guinness)

46 You would not find me suitable. Because my first official act would be to have you all crucified.

47 A few days longer, Caesar, we'll bring you his head. -No, Livius, please don't bring me his head. I wouldn't know what to do with it.

— Marcus Aurelius (Alec Guinness)

48 A man can be alone for months, years, and then a moment comes, that one moment that is too much.

49 Hatred means wars.

— Timonides (James Mason)

50 How does an empire die? Does it collapse in one terrible moment? No. No! But there comes a time when its people no longer believe in it. Then, then does an empire begin to die.
