[to Claudius] Go in peace. I was thinking about killing you, but I've changed my mind.
“Zeus, by Jove!”
In this episode: Nero Claudius Drusus (2), Herod Agrippa (2), Caligula (1), Antonia Minor (1)
LLentulus
Gentlemen, posterity will envy us!
(under his breath) Posterity will call you an ass, you idiot.
What's the matter with us, Herod? These are the children of my noble brother Germanicus. How could it happen?
Well, you know what they say about the tree of the Claudians: it bears two kinds of fruit: the sweet and the bad.
Well, they've certainly had a terrifying crop this season.
[Antonia has decided to kill herself]
[in tears] Don't do it, please...!
My mind is made up. I don't want to stay here anymore. I was born into a world of people. It's become a kennel of mad dogs. I've seen my splendid son Germanicus murdered, and my grandsons, Drusus, Nero, Gemellus. My granddaughters are degenerate beyond redemption, and your sister Livilla died by my own hand. That was the worst. I should have died then myself.
Wait a while! Caligula's sick in his mind. Sooner or later...
No, Rome is sick, sick to its heart. He's just the rash it's come out in.
