ザ・ローマ 帝国の興亡

To adorn the imperial capital. (ザ ローマ)

 

Jerusalem is built like a fortress. They're armed to the teeth. (ザ ローマ)

 

He, the emperor, would top the bill. 主役を務めた(ザ ローマ)

 

Don't be such a sanctimonious old bore. (ザ ローマ)

 

Nero was now on a collision course with the Senate, the closest thing Rome had to a parliament. (ザ ローマ)

 

I can see no reason why anyone would contest my running for consul again. (ザ ローマ)

 

Rome was preparing for the final assault on its arch rival, Carthage. (ザ ローマ)

 

The two superpowers, Rome and Carthage, had been locked in conflict for 120 years. (ザ ローマ)

 

The Carthaginians surrendered. (ザ ローマ)

 

We'll plough the dust with salt, so not even weeds will grow in memory of Carthage. (ザ ローマ)

 

The rich were growing fat on the spoils from Carthage, (ザ ローマ)

 

Rome's become a cesspit. Rome's overflowing with the unwashed these days and I blame you. (ザ ローマ)

 

If we don't curb the excesses of senators like Nasica, we could face a civil war. (ザ ローマ)

 

If we treat him with clemency, the others might be more willing to surrender. (ザ ローマ)

 

I will quash my deluded enemy. (ザ ローマ)

 

Disbanding his army. (ザ ローマ)

 

His greed and ambition are like a grotesque deformity. (ザ ローマ)

 

Maybe a dose of Caesar is exactly what the republic needs. (ザ ローマ)

 

The die is cast. (ザ ローマ)

 

Decimate the legion. (ザ ローマ)

 

Decimation meant killing one in ten. (ザ ローマ)

 

The men we face today have denied us our due and they have corrupted the republic. (ザ ローマ)

 

Despiser of kings. (ザ ローマ)

 

So he can put us on display? Nail us to crosses? (ザ ローマ)

 

The treasure didn't Just belong to the gods, it was Rome's crown Jewels, embodying all its years of glory and greatness. (ザ ローマ)

 

Take your eyes off her. (ザ ローマ)

 

Nero and a massive entourage left Rome. (ザ ローマ)

 

Nero now had power that few men in history have ever equalled. (ザ ローマ)

 

He made himself dictator for life, effectively Rome's first emperor. (ザ ローマ)

 

Embezzlement and extortionate taxes. (ザ ローマ)

 

Far from Just fiddling. Nero did all he could to help control the fire and save lives. (ザ ローマ)

 

Factions were beginning to form. (ザ ローマ)

 

Nero's dream was floundering. (ザ ローマ)

 

Fall in! (ザ ローマ)

 

Assemble the troops on the Field of Mars. (ザ ローマ)

 

Jerusalem fell into the hands of the different rebel factions. (ザ ローマ)

 

Vespasian stayed outside the fray, (ザ ローマ)

 

The attack foundered. The Romans could not get past the massive third wall. (ザ ローマ)

 

Fall back! We're surrounded! (ザ ローマ)

 

Goad me to my death. (ザ ローマ)

 

If it goes on much longer, the Emperor will have my guts. (ザ ローマ)

 

He put up a good fight. I'll give him that, the bastard. (ザ ローマ)

 

I'll try and find it in my heart to forgive her. (ザ ローマ)

 

On your head be it! (ザ ローマ)

 

Tiberius had brought the hub of this huge empire to a standstill. (ザ ローマ)

 

What right has he to overthrow us? (ザ ローマ)

 

He was from more humble origins, the first with no grand aristocratic connections. (ザ ローマ)

 

Nero's assault on the temples of Rome was an act that would live in infamy. (ザ ローマ)

 

He's impetuous, he doesn't listen to anyone now, (ザ ローマ)

 

He had fallen asleep during one of his interminable poetry readings. (ザ ローマ)

 

The rebellion began because of the Roman Governor of Judaea, what's now modern day Israel. (ザ ローマ)

 

The Romans were driven out of Judaea. The rebellion was now unstoppable. (ザ ローマ)

 

You must not take this lightly. (ザ ローマ)

 

I lost my husband fighting for your lot! (ザ ローマ)

 

Consul Mancinus, the luckless commander, tried to lead his 20,000 troops to safety. (ザ ローマ)

 

The wooden buildings and narrow streets went up like matchwood. (ザ ローマ)

 

It's the curse of mortality, knowing that you'll become less than you were. (ザ ローマ)

 

It's made of methryl. (ザ ローマ)

 

All 4,000 have mutinied. (ザ ローマ)

 

The ruling classes in the Senate, the nearest thing Rome had to a parliament, were worried. (ザ ローマ)

 

Caesar overshadowed you. (ザ ローマ)

 

There was no funeral for Tiberius Gracchus, no grand orations, (ザ ローマ)

 

The coming Roman onslaught. (ザ ローマ)

 

Rome's fortunes are held in the hands of corrupt aristocrats who profess to rule in your name. (ザ ローマ)

 

Labienus went on fighting Caesar as the civil war petered out. (ザ ローマ)

 

We'll plough the dust with salt, so not even weeds will grow in memory of Carthage. (ザ ローマ)

 

Nothing like the fear of an enemy to keep the plebs under control. (ザ ローマ)

 

The woman was screaming the place down. (ザ ローマ)

 

Facing annihilation, Mancinus's only option was to send out a peace envoy. (ザ ローマ)

 

Each year, ten were elected to defend the people's rights. But many were Just political pawns of the Senate. (ザ ローマ)

 

The Roman pincer began to tighten. Vespasian brought his troops down from the North. And Titus began the long march up from Egypt. (ザ ローマ)

 

Josephus himself would later put his survival down to the will of God. (ザ ローマ)

 

Let's have the straw and the pitch first. (ザ ローマ)

 

It's what I feel like. Two hours of rancid sweat and bloodshed. (ザ ローマ)

 

The emperor simply wanted to put his mind at rest. (ザ ローマ)

 

The Roman republic was born out of fear of ever being ruled by a tyrant. (ザ ローマ)

 

That winter, Caesar and part of his army assembled on the banks of a tiny river called the Rubicon. A river so small that today no one even knows where it is. (ザ ローマ)

 

You round up the ring leaders and you have them whipped. (ザ ローマ)

 

Ratify a treaty with these barbarians? (ザ ローマ)

 

Romans believed passionately that no individual should hold so much power. In the Republic, there was no greater sin than wanting to be king. (ザ ローマ)

 

Six months later, 30,000 Roman troops were sent to put down the revolt. (ザ ローマ)

 

We'll rendezvous in southern Syria. (ザ ローマ)

 

Every attack was repulsed. (ザ ローマ)

 

You'd raze the temple to the ground, wouldn't you? (ザ ローマ)

 

We are not some shanty town. (ザ ローマ)

 

Your father couldn't string two words together. (ザ ローマ)

 

We think that this deserves more than just a few snide puns among ourselves. (ザ ローマ)

 

Hold your sceptre firmly. (ザ ローマ)

 

I felled my family tree that day, leaking my own sap into the earth. (ザ ローマ)

 

You dropped the sceptre and paused. (ザ ローマ)

 

With the empire sliding towards financial ruin. (ザ ローマ)

 

Stand to! (ザ ローマ)

 

I did not seek this fight. Nor shall I shirk it. (ザ ローマ)

 

We can't wait for civilian stragglers any longer. (ザ ローマ)

 

It took Caesar more than a year to subdue them. (ザ ローマ)

 

Caesar, you're Rome's greatest general. She needs you now more than ever. (ザ ローマ)

 

Its rulers'greed was sowing the seeds of the Republic's ultimate destruction. (ザ ローマ)

 

Don't be such a sanctimonious old bore. (ザ ローマ)

 

Better killed in the glorious action than skulking away with your tail between your legs. (ザ ローマ)

 

We can't let this treaty stand. (ザ ローマ)

 

Maybe we should seal our alliance. (ザ ローマ)

 

He had snubbed the Senate by not consulting it first. (ザ ローマ)

 

To stamp this out, Rome turned to the outcast General Vespasian and his son, Titus. (ザ ローマ)

 

Stand to arms, men! Stand firm! (ザ ローマ)

 

Titus now ordered the area around Jerusalem to be scoured for timber. (ザ ローマ)

 

Titus now ordered the area around Jerusalem to be scoured for timber. Every tree for ten miles was cut down for siege platforms and towers. (ザ ローマ)

 

I just can't believe it. I just can't take it in. (ザ ローマ)

 

We've been tutting behind our hands about him for years. Bitching, complaining, but not changing a thing. (ザ ローマ)

 

We can't poison him. He has tasters to check his food. (ザ ローマ)

 

Nero will not think twice about killing you, all of us. (ザ ローマ)

 

Everything in the known world was Nero's for the taking. (ザ ローマ)

 

Every step took him further from food and water. All Pompey had to do was to wait for his enemy to run out of supplies. (ザ ローマ)

 

With his supplies running out, Caesar made one last throw of the dice. (ザ ローマ)

 

Thinning out his central battle lines to spring a trap on Labienus' cavalry. (ザ ローマ)

 

Give them too much power and Rome will tip into anarchy. (ザ ローマ)

 

Today we vote on the re-election of Tiberius Gracchus as Tribune of the People. (ザ ローマ)

 

Vespasian's next tactic used the testudo or tortoise. (ザ ローマ)

 

if we lose thousands of men getting it, - it will tarnish the prize a little, won't it? (ザ ローマ)

 

Did you really think you could take on the might of Rome? (ザ ローマ)

 

Rome's become a cesspit. Rome's overflowing with the unwashed these days and I blame you. (ザ ローマ)

 

The Jewish leader Hanan Ben Hanan was filling the power vacuum left by the Romans. (ザ ローマ)

 

Volcanic changes rocked the empire. (ザ ローマ)

 

The crown'll belong to whatever that woman's carrying in her womb. (ザ ローマ)

 

We have to face him when we're strong. Not with our backs against the wall. (ザ ローマ)

 

I don't want to get involved. Tiberius is a good friend.

-Was. (ザ ローマ)

 

One whiff of failure, who knows what could happen? (ザ ローマ)

 

They only succeeded in driving the rebel groups of zealots, guerrillas and militia back towards Jerusalem, ready for one final stand. (ザ ローマ)

 

They're saying you're Christ's 13th apostle. (ザ ローマ)

 

We believe in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. (ザ ローマ)

 

Tell them you've my blessing. (ザ ローマ)

 

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only son of God, eternally begotten of the Father. (ザ ローマ)

 

They are ruled by base instinct. (ザ ローマ)

 

It doesn't buy you your freedom. It buys you three days. (ザ ローマ)

 

He won't keep his side of any bargain, we can be sure of that. (ザ ローマ)

 

My men are begging for your blood! (ザ ローマ)

 

The Senate turned against their own Emperor and chose Attalus in his place. All at the behest of a barbarian. (ザ ローマ)

 

I know it looks bleak. (ザ ローマ)

 

This cements our alliance. It says to the world that we speak with one voice. (ザ ローマ)

 

What Constantine did next put him on a collision course with the forces of Roman tradition. (ザ ローマ)

 

Carve out a new homeland for ourselves. (ザ ローマ)

 

Christ said, “I am the door, whoever enters by me shall be saved.” (ザ ローマ)

 

He diverted money intended for pagan temples to new Christian buildings. (ザ ローマ)

 

The conflict between Constantine and Licinius was long and drawn out. (ザ ローマ)

 

His policy of appeasing the barbarians would have dismantled your empire piece by piece. (ザ ローマ)

 

To its citizens' dismay, Rome's public and state buildings were stripped of much of their wealth. (ザ ローマ)

 

We are dirt under their feet. They will never treat us as equals. (ザ ローマ)

 

The voices against you are becoming deafening. (ザ ローマ)

 

Doesn't matter what the entrails say. You see where the liver is discoloured here. (ザ ローマ)

 

Elbow room. (ザ ローマ)

 

It is a flagrant violation they cannot accept. (ザ ローマ)

 

Constantine forged ahead with his vision of a Christian empire. (ザ ローマ)

 

Of all Rome's emperors, his legacy is the most far-reaching and long-lasting. (ザ ローマ)

 

It was a forlorn hope. (ザ ローマ)

 

Rome was under siege, threatened by a vast army of barbarian Goths. (ザ ローマ)

 

One such smaller tribe, the Goths, had been forced from their lands near the Black Sea. (ザ ローマ)

 

I hand back your ancient authority. (ザ ローマ)

 

It battled hordes of outsiders. Barbarians, as the Romans called them. (ザ ローマ)

 

Let's march on Ravenna, capture the Emperor and force him to honour the deal he made with us. (ザ ローマ)

 

I want to hold Rome hostage. (ザ ローマ)

 

The thicker the hay, the easier it's cut. (ザ ローマ)

 

What about your own personal hoards? (ザ ローマ)

 

Greedy for anything he can get his hands on. (ザ ローマ)

 

We'll head them off. I'll kill every one of them. (ザ ローマ)

 

Don't burn the churches! Leave the churches! Leave her. (ザ ローマ)

 

What will it take for you to lift this siege? (ザ ローマ)

 

Maxentius's 75,000 strong army had massed on the Roman side of the river. (ザ ローマ)

 

With the full might of the Goth army. (ザ ローマ)

 

Gentlemen, this is the final push. (ザ ローマ)

 

It was a war which pitted the traditional Roman gods against the dynamic new Christian faith. (ザ ローマ)

 

40,000 of them were poised at the city's gates. (ザ ローマ)

 

Let's see if Honorius wants to be the first Emperor to preside over the city's fall. (ザ ローマ)

 

This is the reckoning. (ザ ローマ)

 

Even the remnants of its garrison abandoned their posts. (ザ ローマ)

 

Like rats in a sack, they scrabbled for power. (ザ ローマ)

 

You're a good scribe. (ザ ローマ)

 

Make this sign your standard. (ザ ローマ)

 

Your god is a lie. Licinius will sweep you all away. (ザ ローマ)

 

From the grass of the steppe. (ザ ローマ)

 

Our troops are stretched as it is. (ザ ローマ)

 

We could sack this city any time we like. (ザ ローマ)

 

Give the order to strike camp. 撤退(ザ ローマ)

 

My stroke of genius didn't work. (ザ ローマ)

 

They will size us up, like cuts of meat. (ザ ローマ)

 

Fighting and moving, always looking over my shoulder. (ザ ローマ)

 

I'll sack the city. (ザ ローマ)

 

The capital of the empire had been suffering under his tyrannical rule. (ザ ローマ)

 

The country's teeming with them. (ザ ローマ)

 

To reach the city, they first had to cross the river Tiber. (ザ ローマ)

 

Constantine's Christian banner struck terror into Licinius's army, (ザ ローマ)

 

He went to his death, tormented by his failure to find a safe haven for his people. (ザ ローマ)

 

Superpower unrivalled in its ingenuity and its savagery. (ザ ローマ)

 

Defending their borders, fighting usurpers. (ザ ローマ)

 

He died childless and vilified for his role in Rome's decline. (ザ ローマ)

 

As the siege wore on. (ザ ローマ)

 

You! You're the most pathetic worm I've ever encountered! (ザ ローマ)
