43
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,200
He's been taking a risk. Huh?

44
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,600
He's taking a risk helping us. Do you understand that?!

Oh, I know.

51
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,680
Go and explain yourself to Sextus.

52

I'm sorry, Sextus.

In your position,

57
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,280
I probably wouldn't have taken an axe to the gods.

58

What have they ever done for me?

59
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,160
I heard your news.

60
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,600
I have some of my own.

61

65
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,160
They signed the treaty. The dictators.

66

Well, I thought that was all dead. The treaty with them.

67
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,960
Just dragging on. Negotiations.

68
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,600
But a winter without food changed their minds.

We're now allies.

My position here has been formally recognised

71
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,600
and in return I'm raising the blockade on Rome.

72
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,400
Huh. That's good news for you. Of course.

73
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,520

74
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,600
for everyone outlawed, exiled during the wars.

75
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,080
Which, obviously, includes you, Nero.

76
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,280
Hold on. They agreed an amnesty?

77
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,080
For me?

78
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,840
Well, for everyone. Right.

Mmm. I forgot myself. It won't happen again.

Forcing the amnesty clause into the treaty.

94
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,440
Well, it was your idea. You did it.

95
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,560
You brought Rome to its knees.

96
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,640

You're contracted to marry Scribonia's niece

100
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,160
to seal your alliance with Gaius Julius.

101
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,200
And I won't be a mistress.

102

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

111
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,920
I had a visit yesterday from my cousin Libo.

112
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,600
He's now the legal guardian of Livia Drusilla,

113
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,320
now that her father's dead.

114
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,560
He wanted to know if anything could be done for Livia and her husband.

115
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,000
What? She's still alive? They're back in Rome. Penniless.

116
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,960
And they're living at Libo's. The amnesty, of course.

117
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,760
Mmm. Libo said they spent the winter in Sicily with Sextus Pompeius.

118
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,280
He's obviously hoping that you'll talk to Gaius.

119

They're hoping to get some of their property back.

120

What a nerve. Mmm. I can't just do nothing.

121
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,240
Libo's family. And he wants them out of his house.

122
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,400
Just send them some food and a slave or something.

Where's the fun in that? (CHUCKLES)

124

Yes, but I did try to tell you.

Frankly, I never thought there was any chance

138
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:46,440
she'd talk to her husband on your behalf

139
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,520
and if she did that he'd listen.

And today we're also honouring Publius Clodius Pulcher.

155
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,720
250 years ago he was the consul in charge of the Roman fleet

156
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,480
before a great sea battle.

157
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,680
Naturally, he consulted the gods before he attacked,

158
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,640
but the priests told him

159
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:42,000
the sacred chickens were refusing to eat.

160
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,760
So what did he do?

161
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,800
Oh, he flew into a temper and roared,

162
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,920
"Then they can fucking well drink."

163
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,400
And then he threw the lot of them into the sea.

(LAUGHS)

165
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,040
He lost the battle, but taught us a valuable lesson.

Never drown chickens.

Libo. Excuse me.

172
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,560
Libo. I need your advice.

173
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,600
As my friend, you understand? Rather than as Livia's guardian.

174
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,160
Obviously, Livia's family still has important connections,

175
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,920
as you do, Libo.

176
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,280
Yeah. But Livius is gone.

177
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,640
So is all the money.

178
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:43,160
With this amnesty, I'm hoping to get some of my properties back,

179
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,280
but it's going to drag on through the courts

180
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,240
and these things are always political.

181
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,000
So I was wondering if I should divorce Livia

182
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,800

220
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,000
Livia asked me to approach her privately

221

to see if she could speak to Gaius Julius on your behalf.

222

363
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,400
Livia. You're all grown up.

364
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,000
So are you.

365
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,240
Isn't it funny?

366
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,280
Both of us pregnant at the same time.

367
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,320
And Octavia. It's a nice house.

368
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,160
Is Marcus Antonius here?

369
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,960
He sends his compliments. Maecenas is here, though.

370
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,880
Oh, good.

371
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,240
Very nice. Did you choose the colours?

372
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,840
Of course it's not as big as your father's house was.

373
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,360
No. I know the family that bought that.

374
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,280
Made a fortune in slaves.

375
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,520
Of course you would know people like that.

376
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,200
I hope you got a nice discount on the one you sent me.

377
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,160
I actually thought you might've learned a bit of humility.

378
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,200
You've no idea what I've learned.

379
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,080
This time it's you that's lucky to be invited.

380
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,760
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

381
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,080
Livia, when are you due? Around the end of the year.

382
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,880
How about you? Autumn.

383
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,320
And you've got a little boy too?

384
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:36,640
The image of his father. Well, I prefer the fights.

385
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,040
Half the time I think the races are fixed.

386
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,720
MAECENAS: Did you see that driver get killed last month?

387
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,040
AGRIPPA: Not mine, at least. That was a mess.

388
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,800
You know, the thing I can't stand is the fucking theatre.

389
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,640
(LAUGHS)

390
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,840
So, do tell us about your travels, Livia.

391
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,640
Been all over since we last saw you.

392
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,280
Yes, we were outlaws. On the run for years.

393
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,880
Italy, Athens, Sicily and Sparta. Anywhere that would have us.

394
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,080
Hunted like pigs in a forest. Livia.

395
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:05,680
With a price on our heads. Troubled times.

396
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,440
Everyone understands that.

397
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,480
Perhaps it's sad I had to lose everything

398
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,480
to gain a little humility and wisdom.

399
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,000
But as my father always said,

400
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,400
"If you want to watch the races, you have to pay at the gate."

401
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,440
Didn't he kill himself at Philippi?

402
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,280
MAECENAS: You sell yourself short, Livia.

403
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,440
How many wives abandoned their husbands when they were outlawed?

404
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,480
Mmm, some even betrayed them. We honour your loyalty and courage.

405
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,400
My father would've expected it.

406
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,240
We honour him too.

407
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,600
Excuse me.

408
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,920
I apologise for my wife. It's OK. Let me.

409
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,640
(SIGHS)

410
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,520
She provoked me.

411
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,200
You didn't hear what she said to me before dinner.

412
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,920
Did you see her looking at my husband? Octavia.

413
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,600
I apologise if we upset you.

414
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,960
You didn't.

415
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,240
I had great respect for your father.

416
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,040
I regret what had to happen.

417
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,240
I always used to wonder who warned him before the killings.

418
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,840
We should see if maybe something might be done.

419
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,600
For your situation.

420
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,440
I didn't come back here to beg.

421
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,800
Then what did you come back for?

422
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,680
To find a new husband.

423
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,520
Anyone in particular?

424
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,800
NERO: Livia.

425
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,120
Thank you both for tonight.

426
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,040
We won't keep you up any longer.

427
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,080
Don't forget the leftovers.

428
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:56,880
Thank you.

429
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,840
Nobody touched the dormice.

430
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,920
SLAVE: Domina. LIVIA: Thank you.

431
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,160
You can't be taken in by all of that.

432
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,440
It was all a fucking act.

433
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,520
There are reports of plague in the Suburra.

434
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,080
You didn't hear what she said to me in the atrium.

435
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:18,440
Octavia's leaving for Greece with her husband

436
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,920
and I want you to go with her, as far as the sea.

437
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,360
Are you punishing me? No, it's for your health.

438
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,120
Just for a while. And the baby's.

439
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,640
You're leaving as well?

440
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,800
Years of war, Gaius.

441
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,560
Struggle and luck...

442
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,120
..have brought you here.

443
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,840
To this place.

444
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,440
I'd be very sorry to see you throw it all away...

445
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:01,800
..doing something stupid.

446

(DOOR OPENS)

449
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,560
Hey. Get rid of these. Thank you, Tycho.

450
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,400
Well? How did it go?

451
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,520
Er, no Marcus Antonius.

452
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,240
No offer of preferment

453
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,720
and no mention of getting any property back.

454
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,600
Oh, and this will surprise you.

455
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,640
Livia embarrassed herself and everyone else with her big mouth.

456
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,280
And I was the only cunt in a fucking toga!

457
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,800
Why did he invite you, then? He didn't.

458
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,480
Don't men know anything?

459
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,680
Do you think she'd marry me?

460
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,840
Livia.

461
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,960
Her family connections... for someone like me.

462
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,840
She's obviously fertile.

463
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,080
I don't even mind that she's clever.

464
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,760
What do you think?

465
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,760
She couldn't do better.

Goodness, Livia.

470
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,080
You're always looking out the door. Whatever are you waiting for?

471

(EXHALES) Tiberius!

472
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,800
The boy seems rather odd.

473
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,600
I can never get through to him.

474
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,480
Did you breast-feed?

475
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,680
There was no wet-nurse.

476
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,720
He grew up in woods and fields.

477
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,600
He saw things no-one should have to, let alone a child.

478
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,280
But unless you're a mother, you wouldn't understand.

479
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,520
I had three children while you were away from Rome.

480
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,800
But they all died.

481
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,200

I'll never be your mistress or anybody else's.

And yet here you are.

490
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,920
You needed to see what you were buying.

491
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,400
(SNIFFLES) Then state your terms.

492
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,680
I want my inheritance back.

493
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,600
My birthright. All of it.

494
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,840
Farms, mines, properties, cash, slaves. Everything.

495
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,720
Anything else? Yes. I want a platoon of soldiers.

496
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,640
(LAUGHS)

497
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,280
Oh. A platoon of soldiers.

498
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,000
That's right.

499
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,120
And in return what do I get?

500
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,360
You get to divorce Scribonia...

501
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,040
..and marry Livia Drusilla of the Claudii,

502
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,280
one of the five great families of Rome.

503
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,320
As you yourself said, there are only three reasons to marry.

504
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,720
Money, power or family.

505
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,480
And you have no family.

506
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,160
And you have nothing else. Perfect match, then.

507
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,080
(SIGHS)

508
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,920
You married Scribonia

509
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,000
to seal a peace with Sextus that will never last.

510
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,080
You can't leave him in Sicily with a fleet

511
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,720
that can cut off your grain supply whenever he wants.

512
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,880
And your families have never been friends.

513
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,560
Scribonia bought you time. Nothing more.

514
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,720
Does your husband know you're here?

515
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,240
He's secretly planning to divorce me.

516
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,360
Hmm.

517
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,240
He thinks my family's history of supporting the Republic

518
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,360
will no longer help what one might laughingly describe as his political career.

519
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,680
For your political career, however...

520
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,960
..it's different.

521
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,000
My ancient patrician lineage gives you the class you need

522
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,080
to buy the old families in the Senate.

523
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,560
You...a provincial nobody...

524
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,440
..with no famous ancestors and no death masks in the atrium,

525
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,080
would acquire all the honour and glamour of my family's history.

526
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,440
You can't buy that.

527
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,240
Apparently you can.

528
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,600
Agrippa will marry you.

529
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,760
Not good enough.

530
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,680
No, there'd be a scandal.

531
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:00,560
If you care, I don't want to marry you.

532
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,120
Some people might hold me responsible for your father's death.

533
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,960
He chose his own way.

534
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,760
Now I'm choosing mine.

535
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,320
Let me know.

536
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,080
What do you want a platoon of soldiers for?

537
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,320
And remember... you already have my dowry.

538
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,360
Agrippa. Gaius.

539
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,560
I'm thinking of divorcing Scribonia.

540
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,560
What? Why?

541
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,600
To marry Livia.

542
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,920
Livia? Forgive me.

543
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,760
You're not serious.

544
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,400
Well, it makes sense for us politically.

545
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,040
Does it? Mmm. She buys us class.

546
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,160
She buys us votes. She buys me nothing.

547
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,240
She buys you a fucking scandal.

548
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,240
Dumping your pregnant wife to marry someone else's pregnant wife.

549
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,880
Is that even legal? I'll speak to the pontiffs.

550
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,600
We're hanging by a fucking thread here.

551
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,120
Marcus Antonius, his friends in the Senate,

552
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,440
those other fucks that want the Republic back,

553
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,800
they will cut you off like a fucking leper.

554
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,800
It's the only excuse they need.

555
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,280
What about Sextus?

556
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,280
If you get rid of Scribonia like this,

557
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,120
there's only one way he can take that.

558
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,480
I mean, we've only just announced the fucking treaty.

559
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,760
It'll mean war...with Sextus.

560
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,960
It'll come to that anyway.

561
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,800
With all of them.

562
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:56,120
In the end.

563
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,360
I beg you, Livia.

564
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,720
Don't do this.

565
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,520
In Rome women weave cloth and bear children.

566
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,720
We live quietly, without a voice, dutiful and modest,

567
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,400
waiting to be bought, sold and married by our men.

568
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,880
Don't. It's his decision. You know that.

569
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,640
You could stop it.

570
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,800
Divorcing Scribonia, marrying you. (SCOFFS)

571
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,640
It'll pull everything apart.

572

That's going to happen anyway.

573
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,960

574

581
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:11,720

I paid for this slave. I have the bill of sale.

595
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,360
She was freed and you had no right to buy her.

596
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,800
That's for you to prove. The law says she's mine.

597

GAIUS: We ask Great Saturn...

759
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,320
..to whom these days of freedom are devoted

760
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,280
to bring us health and prosperity.

761

I've been telling you to step in and stop them bullying Tiberius.

I've spent the last ten years

763

making friends with Octavia and Scribonia.

764
00:51:51,720 --> 00:51:53,760

He asked me to look after you, but you betrayed him.

771
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:15,160
You married the man who destroyed him and everything he believed.

773
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:18,920
You have nothing left to prove.

I don't want to be a dictator.

777
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,440
I want to be a god.

Then that's what we'll do.
