Marcus Aurelius: Are you ready to do your duty for Rome?::Commodus: Yes, father.::Marcus Aurelius: You will not be emperor.::Commodus: Which wiser, older man is to take my place?::Marcus Aurelius: My powers will pass to Maximus, to hold in trust until the Senate is ready to rule once more. Rome is to be a republic again.::Commodus: Maximus?::Marcus Aurelius: Yes. My decision disappoints you?::Commodus: You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues: Wisdom, justice, fortitude and temperance. As I read the list, I knew I had none of them. But I have other virtues, father. Ambition. That can be a virtue when it drives us to excel. Resourcefulness, courage, perhaps not on the battlefield, but... there are many forms of courage. Devotion, to my family and to you. But none of my virtues were on your list. Even then it was as if you didn't want me for your son.::Marcus Aurelius: Oh, Commodus. You go too far.::Commodus: I search the faces of the gods... for ways to please you, to make you proud. One kind word, one full hug... where you pressed me to your chest and held me tight.

Cassius: On this day, we reach back to hallowed antiquity, to bring you a recreation of the second fall of the mighty Carthage!... On the barren plain of Zama, there stood the invincible armies of the barbarian Hannibal. Ferocious mercenaires and warriors from all brute nations, bent on merciless destruction, conquest. Your emperor is pleased to give you the barbarian horde! [Crowd cheers]::Maximus: [while Cassius continues his introduction] Anyone here been in the army? [an unknown gladiator responds yes and tells Maximus he served under his command at Vindobona] You can help me. Whatever comes out of these gates, we've got a better chance of survival if we work together. Do you understand? If we stay together we survive.::Cassius: I'm pleased to bring to you the Legionnaires of Scipio Africanus!

Gracchus: The Senate is the people, sire. Chosen from among the people, to speak for the people.

Maximus: You don't find it hard to do your duty?::Cicero: Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time, I do what I have to.
