Augustus and Herod in “What Shall We Do About Claudius?”

Herod, what about a little bet? I'll take the fat one for twenty gold pieces.

Caesar, it would be against my religion to bet on the life of a man.

Oh, really? I would have thought it against your religion to bet on anything.

Caesar, it's true: Jews love gambling. But we fear our god more.

Which one?

We have only one, Caesar.

I've never understood that, it's quite insufficient. Why don't you take some of our gods? You know, plenty of people do.

Believe me, Caesar, the one we have is hard enough to live with.
