General Acacius.

I have taken Numidia in your names

that your dominion may eclipse that

of every emperor that came before you.

Crown him with laurels, brother.

[crowd cheering]

[all chanting] Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

[monkey hooting softly]

[Geta] In honor of your conquest,

there will be games in the Colosseum.

I require no games in my honor.

Serving the Senate and the people of Rome

is honor enough for me.

You are too modest, Acacius.

It does not suit a general as accomplished as yourself.

The glory is yours, not mine.

I only ask for some respite from war

to spend time with my wife.

Your wife, yes. [sniffs]

Remember the privileges we have granted her?
