“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”

— Luke 6:27-36

Marcus: Wherever the Eagle is, we can say that… Rome did that.

Esca: My father and two brothers died. My mother also. My father killed her before the Legionaries broke through. He knew what they would do to her. She knelt in front of him and he slit her throat. Rome also did that.

I hate everything you stand for, everything you are, but you saved me, and for that I must serve you.

Marcus: He’s not a slave. And he knows more about honor and freedom than you ever will.
