urbanization and civility are

commendable they are notorious for

allowing the decline of human values and

a rise of barbarism

his Excellency dear Clarion oh

greedies

greetings your eyes

greetings your highness greetings

I am happy

I am happy to see you all here

I don't see Maximilian here

His Highness Maximilian is a very

disciplined and punctual person he will

be here shortly your highness

it appears your highness the equation

has summoned us here for an urgent

matter yes it is as such

Philadelphia will soon see its most

glorious day-to-day a day which quite

possibly may never be repeated

in the history

of this city

we must spend today

discussing an important matter

couriers

have brought news that very soon the

Eastern territories of the great Roman

Empire will be blessed by a visit from

the emperor Hadrian

thanks be to Jupiter the great thank uh

that we should be granted such a

blessing he will probably pay

Philadelphia a short visit

on his way to Jerusalem

blessed Philadelphia

[Laughter]

did you say he is likely to visit

a meeting you are not certain

it is possible that he may alter the

root of his

but for now this is his decision and we

must be prepared

praise be to Jupiter the great what an

honor to meet the emperor no

a meeting with the god of Rome and the

god of half the world

this honor is not bestowed on many

people

I have heard that His Highness the

eocletian served alongside the emperor

in the war yes and the Trojan Empire

reigned

His Highness Hadrian is in command of

the great Roman army

and I was one of his senior officers is

it true that you saved his Royal

Highness Hadrian's life

excuse me Your Highness

what I heard was a very strange

occurrence

in the war with the Iranians the enemy

attacked very suddenly and forced many

of the Romans to withdraw

His Highness Hadrian was surrounded by

the enemy

a moment of hesitation would have cost

him his death

but then His Highness Diocletian

realizing the severity of the situation

wastes no time and charges through the

enemy forces in his Carriage to rescue

His Highness

so this means that His Highness Hadrian

owes his life to his Excellency

deucletian

does that mean that the god of the

people owes his life to one of his

servants

unwise remark it is not a strange

statement

only Gods can rescue gods

but you know servants are like

instruments to the gods and sometimes

Gods use them to rescue one another

however

it must be acknowledged

that the life of His Highness Hadrian

was saved by his excellence in the

euclidean before

His Highness Hadrian was declared a god

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

when you look at my horseshoes

blacksmith

certainly let me see

he owns an expensive carriage

someone with such a humble

a you're referring to Sanctus

nine he appears to have guests

so his name is Santos yes plutonius

Sanctus

[Music]

so the owner of the house is plutonious

centers

where are you going what about your

horseshoes boss boss has he gone didn't

you want horseshoes

what's the matter with you

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

if you will allow it I will offer my

opinion regarding the emperor's visit

proceed I am certain that the emperor's

visit is not without purpose perhaps

it's because of the Israelites and their

Defiance regarding the construction of

Jupiter's Temple this visit may also be

to intimidate the followers and

worshipers of Jehovah

yes that is exactly the case

what fools they are these Israelites

believing

they can

challenge

the mighty Roman Empire

gods of Olympia are the great Mercury

if from the very start they had allowed

the construction of the Temple of

Jupiter

installed Emperor sculpture in the

temple of Jerusalem they wouldn't have

suffered so many casualties

what should have taken place with little

Bloodshed has instead taken over three

years

the Israelites have caused countless

deaths with their defiences

it's still more for me Christians

I don't know what they see in this

unseen God of theirs that makes them

choose him over the great gods of Rome

and makes them devout enough to

sacrifice their lives for you a God that

man cannot envisage hmm that is neither

male nor female a God in whom's likeness

a sculpture cannot be built how can they

worship such a god

if he was a powerful God his followers

would not be so weak and pitiful

do not worry your highness

there is no limit to the lunacy of men

he could not even defend his own prophet

a bunch of Jews crucified him

behold the Grandeur of apollon the son

of the great Jupiter as opposed to the

weak and the helpless

son of their God

it said that in actual fact their

religion does not see Jesus as the Son

of God but as his prophet

after the crucifixion of Christ

Christian Missionary added this story of

father and son to the faith in order to

attract more Romans to the religion

maybe they learned from the Romans to

create a son for their God

[Music]

today's meeting to discuss the specifics

of Christianity

or has your highness the eclatian called

us here to discuss a more important

issue very good we have far more

important matters to attend to certainly

the emperor's visit will require much

preparation and today's meeting is to

discuss how we are to do that the

emperor's arrival in Philadelphia must

be an epic event

you my dear plutos yes your highness you

must renovate all the temples you must

have a sculpture of Augustus installed

in them the Temple of apollon Puritan

sebier Mercury piano and even Mitra

restore anything and everything which

can be named a temple and the gods

worship therein whether Roman or

otherwise and adiemens I want a new

sculpture of Janus the god of gates

built and installed the city's main

entrance understood

yes and materos

head of the treasury

in light of the long-lasting friendship

between the emperor and myself we must

procure a gift worthy of him

but as of today double the taxes but how

your highness we are barely able to

collect the current taxes my dear

martinus

this is not Rome

the people we're dealing with are not

considered human beings they're a bunch

of animals and we do not milk them for

ourselves

milk will get to their cows

we must milk them

no

milk them for all they've got

and finally my dear de nacios I want a

stadium suitable for the emperor gather

many Gladiators fierce

ferocious lions bears and of course

a great many Christians

why Christians your highness

I know that violence is not compatible

with the nature of Physicians

I'm surprised at you you never used to

be so simple minded tell Mica so let me

ask you how wildlines and bears supposed

to entertain the emperor

well it's obvious

land of Philadelphia

saturated in blood in the blood of

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

oh oh

Carlos yes

find a done here immediately and advise

him to relocate it is possible that

pluton confessed under torture you

pluton yes your highness if pluton had

confessed that Daniel would have been

detained by now

how can we be sure that they are not

watching him from afar

[Music]

abiding their time so they can arrest

him and his followers all at once

so is it necessary to take this

precaution hmm

you see girls

few must live in a cage with a lion

you must use more precaution than what

your good sense dictates hmm

[Music]

take care of yourself

it is possible that Adonia is under

surveillance

hey

come here

young man

look after this horse until I return yes

sir pay attention yes

I'm here to see matthios it's extremely

important to read right here

greetings though to you I am devout

what news is there you seem quite asleep

first he attended the ritual of burning

that Christian good afterwards he went

to the home of that Christian's father

good weight in the courtyard yes your

highness At Your Service
