01:46:44,932 --> 01:46:47,001
[ Soldier ]
Hail.
Hail.

1197
01:46:47,068 --> 01:46:50,938
I'm looking for a tribune--
a certain
Titus Valerios Taurus.

1198
01:46:51,005 --> 01:46:54,075
Do you know him?
No. I've never
heard of him.

1199
01:46:54,141 --> 01:46:57,579
Hail.
Hail.

1200
01:47:18,399 --> 01:47:21,035
[ Taurus Thinking ]
"I have decided to live amongst
the followers of Jesus,

1201
01:47:21,102 --> 01:47:24,038
"in the hope that I might
gain a place for myself
in the new world,

1202
01:47:24,105 --> 01:47:27,742
"which I am certain
is being prepared.

1203
01:47:41,055 --> 01:47:42,990
"So farewell.

1204
01:47:43,057 --> 01:47:45,727
"Don't search for me,
because no one will find me
where I am going.

1205
01:47:45,793 --> 01:47:47,995
"This is my last letter.

1206
01:47:48,062 --> 01:47:51,833
"From Titus Valerios Taurus,
once commander of the
Seventh Gemina Legion,

1207
01:47:51,899 --> 01:47:55,870
to Tiberius Caesar Augustus,
emperor of the Romans."
