Quotes:

Cicero: He names his nephew.::Camane: Octavius.::Cicero: He's just a boy.::Camane: So was Caesar once.::Cicero: Caesar was a boy, yes. But not every boy is a Caesar.

[Of Caesar]::Cassius: Who ever thought a God would hold so much blood?

[Caesar is dying]::Caesar: Protect him, protect my successor.::Tyrannus: Antony?::Caesar: No. Not Antony. Octavius. My sister's boy. He will save the dream of Rome, Tyrannus. Teach him to fight, teach him to rule.

Cicero: Reason has abandoned this place.

[to Brutus]::Caesar: And you, my child?

Servilia: We must look to the men who will re-build Rome.::Brutus: You mean Cassius and Antony?::Servilia: And you... why not you, my son?

[Antony's speech about Caesar]::Brutus: What is he doing?::Cassius: Oh this isn't about Caesar's rein; it's about Antony's!

Plot: In 42 BC Rome is in the middle of a civil war. Together with his friend AGRIPPA, the young Augustus goes to Spain in order to help JULIUS CAESAR in his struggle against the troops of POMPEY. Even though they are outnumbered, they manage to defeat Pompey. Caesar honours his adopted son Augustus with a triumphal entry into Rome and then sends him to Greece together with his friends Agrippa and Maecenas. There, Augustus hears the news of Caesar's assassination and he returns to Rome with his friends. Back in Rome, he is able to gain both the support of the people and political power. In his struggle with the conspirators against Caesar he finds an ally in MARC ANTONY. Marc Antony not only pursues BRUTUS and CASSIUS, he also initiates a wave of executions which practically eliminates the old Roman ruling class. Among those who are killed is the husband of LIVIA DRUSILLA, a woman with whom Augustus had been in love as a young man. Through a combination of good luck and chance, Augustus and Marc Antony are able to defeat the forces of Brutus and Cassius at the battle of Phillipi. But now Augustus has to share his empire with Marc Antony who, in the meantime, has become the lover of the Egyptian queen CLEOPATRA. Augustus declares war on both of them and after a successful military campaign he becomes the sole ruler of the Roman Empire. During his rule, Rome not only experiences a period of peace and prosperity, it is also an age in which both art and culture flourish. His new wife Livia Drusilla becomes his most important political advisor. It is she who discovers that IULLUS (the son of Marc Antony and lover of Augustus' daughter JULIA) is plotting to murder the emperor.

Quotes:

Augustus: Did I play my role well, in the comdey of life?::Julia: The gods will tell you father.::Augustus: Applause, please.

Cleopatra: [about Octavius] Why don't we silence that boy by placing his head on a stick?

Scipio: Julia? "Submissive"? Ha! [Notices Iullus' face] What's the matter?::Iullus: I love her.

Tiberius: I'll find Iullus and kill him!::Julia: No, you won't. You'll go back to the boarder and continue playing "soldier" or I'll have father throw you in prison as a deserter.

Iullus: I will have revenge for my father's death, and Julia will be my sword.

Scipio: [Upon seeing Julia] Hail to our queen!

Tiberius: My duty is to maintain authority over Rome's legions; you undermine that with your adultery which you don't even attempt to conceal. I can not live with that!::Julia: Then do us both a favour and fall on your sword!

Julia: You already have what you wanted of me, father. Heirs. My sons. Now let me live my life!

Atia: Whose glory is Octavia's marriage?::Octavius: For Rome.::Atia: Rome, who is he? I don't know him. Does he have a sister too?

[after telling Scipio about Tiberius raping Julia]::Iullus: She blames her father, even said she wants him dead... But I don't believe her, she'd never hurt him.::Scipio: She doesn't have to.::Iullus: I love her!::Scipio: Stop telling me that!::Iullus: It's true!::Scipio: Really?::Iullus: Yes!::Scipio: Then if you truly love her, you'll do it. Augustus will not yield.::Iullus: But surely...::Scipio: Your noblity won't protect you, you're father made that mistake. There is only one way - he must die.::Iullus: I would lose her, she would never forgive me...::Scipio: You'd be saving her. Do you really think Livia is ever going to let Julia's children rule over the empire when Augustus dies? The children will be killed too, you know it's evitable. And when she realizes that, she will thank you.::Iullus: We failed once.::Scipio: We were stupid, out in the open with the mob, the guards and Julia to stop us... Will she let you into her house?::Iullus: [nods] Tonight.::Scipio: Then the gods have handed us the sword.
