CONSTANTINE AND THE CROSS
"" Three Centuries after the Birth of Christ
the Roman Empire spread throughout Europe.
From England to the Middle East.
The Empire was so broad that leadership had to be divided.
The east led by Emperor Diocletian. The west by Emperor Maximianus.
The successors of the Emperors were titled Caesars.
The Caesar of the West was Constatius Chlorus.
His throne was in Treviri. Located in what is now southern Germany.
From this locality he fought a battle against the barbarian mobs.
That threatened the northern border of the Empire.
Chief among his generals was his son Constantine. ""
"Wait, Constantine." "What?
Here comes the second troop.
We will do the same with every road that rebels against Rome.
Pity for women.
In war there will be no place for pity.
My father is?
He's waiting for you.
They will have to find a new leader. I broke up with him.
I did not give any orders to attack.
What did you expect me to do? That he was only watching?
I command, you obey. Taking the initiative in a fight is dangerous.
Yes, for others. It's not more important to win a shot than...
Fall. No little teacher will teach me.
Your orders have arrived. You leave for Rome at dawn.
Pomegranate? I understand. In other words...
I made a mistake by winning that little hit.
I committed myself to the task to which the designee has assigned.
His orders are designated by Diocese.
Very much your friend Emperor's remark.
I will not allow it.
So why go to Rome? Where can I be manipulated?
You see your own child as a threat to your ambition. Do not you see? Do not you see?
As you saw it in my hand. That's why I've never met her. Was not it?
Because of your ambition.
I would hate to speak of her.
Oregons are too humid for a man as big as you want to be.
How dare you? Come back here.
Diocius called him a first-order tribune.
I hope you know what that means.
Thank you.
Am I dismissed?
You know it's universally known.
Diocltitius intends to resign logo.
It's been a year since he asked me to send my son to him.
But I warned it was impossible, because we had a war to win earlier.
It was true. But if you made your name here, I helped you.
Yes, that makes sense. In any way, my place is here on the border.
Generals are made in Rome, Constantine.
It is time for you to realize the size of the intrigue and existing corruption I ل.
It's such a golpe. Who made this?
He'll never do it again.
You tend to confuse impetuosity with play. You must be more discreet.
I look forward to seeing Fausta. I hope you feel the same way.
Ah, this is for you.
I've never seen your hand without him.
It was from his mother. I'll tell you some day about her. Not now. Let's go.
This is the only existing bust of Constantine. He hates it and shows it to you.
But, I insisted so much that he finally allowed it.
But it was very laborious.
Constantine could not keep still for a moment.
The scout was almost giving up. But I did it.
Fine, I need something to take care of him.
There is great resemblance. You can see that he is a man of action.
A man who feels destined for victory.
Now you can understand why Diocese thinks so well.
And, because my sister is in love with him.
Do not you agree, Licenius?
I do not know anything about this. Amonius is the scout. He's the one who wants to make a cia.
On here. Notice, Ammonius.
Our descendants have the right to know the great heroes of the past.
We, the mere thinkers and preachers, must remain in the anomate.
And let the next generation guess how we were.
These are the days of great soldiers and warriors.
Well, are you impressed? It's such a great model.
Your task should not be so difficult.
I do not know. I've never seen Constantine.
I can assure you it's just like him. I can not see a falha.
Even Constantine can not.
Well, it's a bust. I'm sure your features will not escape me.
Here, circle back in your place.
Tell me? What is the distance to Rome?
You can still come here tonight, if you're in a hurry.
Take this path and walk the fence to the caves.
The act will be here.
Courage, my children. We should be ready for the Passover ceremony.
Ammonius.
Next! Attack, men!
Ambush!
Be heavy, be careful.
It's okay.
Wait, wait a minute.
It's a fight. Come on, Cavaleiro.
Take Constantine, kill him.
Hadrian.
I'll help them.
They are soid... You should not, it can be dangerous.
No matter who we are, we must rescue. Come with me.
This way... Take care, put it on the bed.
Carefully... carefully.
Put some of the water to boil.
I'll need some vinegar.
- Take off your armor. - Get out of here.
We just have to stop the bleeding.
Prepare the dressings, Demetrius.
The wound looks pretty ugly.
If the blade had penetrated a little more... no one could help him.
The main arteries, however, are intact.
You seem to know what you're doing.
Yes, I have a little experience with this.
Give it to me, my girl.
- Livia? - Yes...
- Wow, it'll be a good day. - What a pity.
Three years on the border...
and I had to come to Rome to be wounded by a band of filthy tramps.
Do not call me, there are others who are less fortunate.
As soon as you are in a position to travel...
"Oh, I can travel now..." Oh, no...
You'll be fine.
I told you before, you can join me in a few days.
You are a good friend.
Until then, try to rest.
"Where are the others?" In the fields...
I'll go.
Oh, I was looking for you... We are in life with you.
"My friend would not be alive without you." Thank you very much, but this is not necessary.
- We're just happy to be able to help. - As you wish.
I'd like to ask if we'll meet again.
I hope so.
Please, forget...
Something.
Because?
Last night, did not you see anything?
- Do not. - Bye.
Tell me: Is it true that there are many Christians in and around Rome?
Forget it, I thought you might know...
Do not.
Centurion.
Centurion... Drink this.
- What is this? - Milk.
Give me wine, chicken... Anything but this.
I'm on my way to Rome, I have to recover my strength.
For three years I dreamed of food, bath, women...
The fragrant women of Rome.
"Have you ever seen a Roman woman?" Do not.
What's your name? Livia.
Why did they give you a woman's name?
But... I'm a woman!
You're still a child.
I should not have said that. I'm sorry.
I was not offended.
If I could stretch out in a hot tub again.
"Shall I bring a basin?" "Do you think I should fit in?"
As soon as you can walk, I'll take you to the river. It is not longe.
As soon as I can walk I'll leave. Understood?
Yes, it's true.
And the king sent to me about him certainly confirms the faith that...
Maximianus and I have in you.
I am very happy to see you in Rome again.
Thank you, Diocese.
I'm sorry for your meeting with those bad guys.
I assure you that they will be judged. I will leave this task to my son.
Maxentius, I want all the cupeps and I want them.
May your stay here be pleasant, Constantine.
You deserve.
I'm sorry to bother you with all this, Maxentius.
Account refinement, it is my duty.
As a monitor of Praetorians...
I am responsible for everything that happens in Rome.
And you'd be surprised how many things happen in Rome.
- Excuse me, but who is that man there? - Which ones?
The head of white heads. "Tatilian, my eccentric father."
With all due respect...
The majesty Imperia considers it the best of Rome.
And he fears that he can not live without his care.
"Do you know him?" "No, but I saw that it was important.
Here is who should be more important to you, my sister Fausta.
Impetuous as the heavens! Dad gave you direct orders to stay home today.
I consider myself a lucky man.
Very lucky!
To hell, Demodius! There will not be another chance like that...
Constantine...
I was warned that we would not see each other until the evening.
I was more for impatient than for obedient.
We, too, have the bad habit of respecting our orders.
My respect is greater than you know.
There is nothing that can stop us. Let's try one more time.
No, Apuleius.
While he's in Rome, I'm responsible for his safety.
Let him investigate among the bandits to get to lugar. You see?
I had forgotten how beautiful you are.
Maybe because you've been away for so long.
But you must have had the company of many barbara girls...
Among your prisoners.
Life is so different I, Fausta.
It's like another world.
Everything that is warm and cozy was so Ionge that it seemed that it did not exist.
Long winter blizzards, cold, bitterness...
When we saw that the grass could grow...
Enemies came with attacks and ambushes...
With shouting and threats...
You live in a great place.
The dawn comes as a liberation for all.
Even if it means the start of more fights.
Oh, Constantine, you do not have to go back there.
Soon you will be a Caesar and I will be your wife.
Caesar? That's why you want to marry me?
A woman loves a man for herself.
Do you think you can come to love me?
Now, you want to know too much...
We will be always together. This is not enough.
Those two are together.
Ohe, the most subtle thing can separate them.
Hear now...
They are not far apart...
The images are a s...
They are together again... forever.
The cavaliers were a mistake to kill.
When you marry, we can always guide you.
The power will still be in our hands...
You underestimate Constantine. And you have too much to do with Fausta.
You can never trust a woman in love.
Who did this?
Come on, you're afraid of a little cold water.
Well, I sewed it. It's the best I can do.
Well... It looks almost new. Very well. Thank you.
You recovered quickly, did not you?
Yes, I'm leaving today. I'm on my way to Rome.
It is, I know. Here in the country, it must be very quiet for you.
In Rome, you were going to have more fun.
Help me please.
Minus, it must have touched your head...
I want to see him try...
Minus was an Asian king... and everything he touched turned to gold.
Without feeling.
What do you mean by that?
Stories for children, turn things into gold!
You mean that...
Right.
And all these gods, are they not feeling?
I believe in only one God, unique and individual.
"I mean, you're..."
A Christian.
Take care Livia, if you speak of her belief...
with whoever else you will be denounced.
You're not a person who wants to...
And beyond...
If none of us speak of what we believe...
How would you survive?
They can shoot the aliens for saying that.
It might happen one day, but I would not be the first.
And I thought that you were just a child.
I am a child.
Livia... Livia...
They arrested Matthew and the others.
Wait... Why are they being arrested?
They attacked an official from Rome the other day.
But I know these people. They are completely innocent.
Let them go, just now.
Who is he? Call him here.
Centurion, come here.
Are you in charge? You're making a mistake.
I was with Constantine, the men who attacked him are not in this group.
Would he be able to identify you? "You would-".
Enough of this enrolation... Just now, now.
You can have authority in the provinces... but not to bar the orders of the Empire.
I wonder who the bad guys are here...
Arrest him!
I was forced to arrest him. He insisted on my office.
It does not matter, you should know who it was.
- I'm sorry... - It's all right. Only those peasants.
Forgive us, Constantine. We're doing our best to find your assailants.
But... Even Roman justice can make mistakes.
I know that very well.
Accompany him, I will meet you in a few moments.
"Your sword."
- Do you really want them? - Yes...
This was found near the girl's house.
They are Christians...
There is no life to come, and I would not be surprised if Hadrian had some time left with them.
Follow him...
As you know, you will always be sacrificed by the gods.
Make sure it is not a threat to the state.
The Judgment of some Christians.
- It would be interesting to watch. - Why not?
They are excellent actors. If they acted in the tragedies of the synagogue, they would be a success.
If you give up your reign, you may leave.
I believe in a God.
The defendant is condemned to death. Next!
What's your name? "Why does my name matter?"
Are you a free woman or a slave?
This is not important either.
Why do not you ask yourself, Constantine?
Come here!
Do as the tribune commands!
"What city are you from?" "The only question here is my faith.
You are being stubborn and stubborn. This can cost you your life.
I'm a Christian, I'm not afraid to die.
Now it may be, but when the time comes, you alone...
We're never alone. God is with us.
Well, tribune...
What did I tell you?
An excellent census of theater, they really deserve applause.
Instead, they die.
Wait, the tribune has the power to annul his death sentence.
Ask him to save it.
Will it save me? Death is only the beginning of true life.
Did you hear that, Constantine? The cure for the second death.
We're playing the word game. Why did not you rebel?
We won by sacrifice and not by rebellion. It is the promise of Christ.
"What if Christ deceived you?" He never fools anyone.
How funny.
Come on, Maxentius, let her go.
Get her out of here.
Strange people.
Too bad that so much courage and determination are wasted.
I like this little arena here in the gardens of the vineyard.
Without that flat muzzle screaming and sweating around her.
It was one of my father's few good ideas.
They are preaching the absurd doctrine that all men are the same.
Their conversations are growing every day. Soon they will be more powerful than they are.
We are about to abdicate. I leave this succession to our successors.
We do not have to keep a man steady in his quest.
You are proposing that your child be an official. I will not allow it. Not Maxentius.
Your majesty, the hope awaits you.
Let's turn to God.
Help me... I'm scared.
Pay attention, you've already had a son,
the pain he felt was nothing compared to the pain of seeing him.
So it will be with death when you will see the son of God.
Lord... give her hope.
You will have strength.
Cruelty on its own, I do not feel any pleasure.
If only they had weapons to defend themselves.
Weapons for Christians? You'd be hurting them yourself.
For them... this is the real life.
I just got an important piece of information, Maxentius.
There is a gathering of Christians near the house where Constantine was attacked.
You already have your orders.
None will escape.
Here's your hand, go to her.
- I'll punish the Emperor. - They are Christian, they must be eliminated.
- Yeah, but not like that. - He's right. Enough.
Stay behind me.
Conforme. This is the inevitable end of a man who was too brave.
You're a good man, Constantine. Claim your prize.
I'm very grateful...
To both Emperors.
For me, nothing.
But, by chance, if Fausta...
want to request something.
The life of the child and that of all children.
Please let them go.
Free them. You have won your order.
We have already shed enough blood for one morning.
What a touching scene.
All very generous.
Let her out.
God will repay you, my son.
The day is coming.
When the word of our Lord Jesus Christ is worshiped in all the earth.
None of us will be alive for this... none of our children.
When all this torture and bloodshed will end?
When your management is no longer divided between oppressors and oppressed...
masters and slaves. If we had to end our reign...
At least we would die as men.
If you oppose violence with violence, you will destroy yourself, Matthew.
Love is the only way.
- There is no true justice... - The Praetorians...
They closed the doors...!
Stay still, keep the shot.
Livia, Livia. Where are you?
You know what to do. Get out that door. And you to the other side.
The rest follow me on this path.
- This way. - Quick.
Livia, Livia.
Demetrius, Livia.
Livia... where's Livia??
Actually, she went to the other one, come quickly.
Livia...
This girl is not a Christian.
I know her.
Greetings, Centurion... We often meet.
I was scared when I saw him lounging in the arena.
Why did you do that?
I do not know... an impute.
I just can not sit and watch women and children being massacred.
Even if it is your wish to die.
I think I understand why they do it.
You see?
It's like when you really love someone.
It is necessary to sacrifice. Even your life.
I'm sorry for disturbing you, gentlemen.
There is a very insistent man in the front door.
He refuses to leave without seeing him.
- Who is he? - Your name is Hadrian.
He was asking Constantine to help him.
And we will have Constantine in our hands.
But will Diocese give the order to arrest him?
Yes, I think so.
We will not act with the Energetic Compensation. You go to arrest him...
He's going to try to escape... In badly, someone will have to die.
- You can leave it with me. - All right. Good luck. Licenius.
A little less.
Two. The death of Constantine, will also ruin Licenius.
Diocese will never forgive you.
You get over each day.
All power in the hands of a man.
And for all this, I must assent to a poor and miserable Christian.
They sent her to death. Like a criminal.
Like a killer.
I agree that persecution of Christians is unjust...
But they bring it to themselves... I saw it myself.
How can you say that?
They helped us when we were attacked.
But, how can I ask that lei... Make an exception for that girl?
Based on what?
Constantine, do not you see that he is in love with her?
Is it, Hadrian?
Of course not...
But I can not forget how that girl helped me.
Maxentius... also wanted. He could leave her at once.
Maxentius? Not even if you asked him.
I never asked for anything... But this time I cried for your help.
I dislike Hadrian, but I do not see how I can.
Come on, Hadrian, it's in you.
You've already wondered where you can hide it... or if you can take it to longe from here?
My friends are waiting for us at the main port.
Hang on! Who is there?
The tribune of the Empire.
I'm just checking on something. Do you keep the Christian here?
- Yes, tribune. - I want to see them.
Guard, here's an official, open.
"I want to see those arrested today." Follow me, this way.
No, not here.
"Livia, come with me." - No, no.
Where are you going to go?
Do not ask me questions.
You have my blessing, my daughter.
No, I do not want to leave you alone here.
Maybe it's our father's will.
You are destined for other judgments.
What can I do for you?
Anything.
May God be with you.
It was facile.
Yes, very easy. Even to a tribune of the first order.
They are there. May God be with you. We will not see each other.
I know you do, Hadrian.
There is no time to waste. I disembed.
It was an abuse of authority, and when Licenius tried to prevent it...
he retaliated with his precepts of a first-order tribune.
They did not release the girl... How they killed the centurion.
"Are you sure it was Constantine?" I know him well.
I was the official on the day he went to prison to relieve those peasants.
- Those Christians, they're all over. - Who should we believe in?
Instead of the evidence you showed before us... You should let him refuse.
"So let's ask." "You're right.
Bring him here at once.
Licenius, I want you to go after him yourself.
Remember that you should treat him with the proper respect of a tribune.
I will not forget.
- Constantine... - Fausta.
Why are you here...? "Licenius and his men are looking for him."
What happened?
Diocese knows everything. Why did you have to kill that centurion?
Centurion? I did not kill anyone.
"But the jailer saw you!" He's lying.
So it's true, they've armed you.
I do not understand how he... You may not be able to go back to Rome now.
I should infuse Diocletius... He'll believe if I can talk to him.
They will never let you get to him alive. The only one who can defend you is your father.
I'm not going to run away, I'll find a way to expose everything to Diocese.
Constantine, they are coming, saive. I'll fuck you.
Fausta is right. They'll kill him.
They would not send this bunch of men to arrest him.
I will support you.
On the day of our e...
Maximianus and I...
It was so much more grace given to us by the Senate and the people of Rome...
We agree that in due time we shall have all power...
that we were given.
And pass it on to the man who is chosen as our successor.
To do so, keep faith in all our promises.
Therefore, we proceed as Emperor of the provinces of the leste, Gallerius Dishes.
And as Emperor of the West...
Constantius Florius.
They will care for you with all your actions.
To succeed as Caesars...
two were selected.
Those who are known for their courage, courage, and providence.
Flavius Severas to the west.
And for the leste...
The tribune of the first order, Licenius Lacenius.
I want to be the first to compliment you, Licenius.
I'll never forget how much you've helped me.
See, who is the one who belongs to him?
He is from the third Aegean, Constantine. Your father must be in trouble.
What is this?
What could have happened? You, stop!
You, come back here... You wait, wait!
Let's go...
You're welcome, stop... "Who's in charge here?"
I'm.
The Barbados... We are at a disadvantage...
There is nothing we can do, let me through.
"Who gave you the order to withdraw?" It was me, let me through.
You self-determine Romans...
It is Constantine... The son of the Emperor.
Avaçar!
His sword.
Constantine... Father...
Praetorians... "You're hurt."
Take him to his tent.
Defeat... I was beaten.
No father, you have won.
- Venci? - Yes, a victory.
You should know now...
Your mother... she's a Christian.
A Christian?
Lei... she had to hide. You can never find it.
They would have taken him along.
So it was so.
Why do not you...
You should have told me before.
You can not make her see what's wrong and she was.
I could not do anything.
She had a lot of desire.
Find it... Search for it... Explain that my last thought was for her.
Search for ela...
Explain that my last thought was for her.
Heene, Heene...
My last beat.
With the barbels.
The Empire...
I lost my last shot.
I told you... a miracle.
It's not yours.
Soldados.
This was the last victory of Constantius Fiorius, his Emperor.
Even among the Romans, such a man is rare.
Victorious and armed. Strong to rule. Following justice.
We must follow each step.
Celius, come here.
Give me your sword.
Turn it to your right.
Men of legi are...
Their swords are the power of which we will rule.
The power that you are giving to me.
And this power you will take away from me, if I one day demean.
And to our soldiers the gratitude of all the Roman people...
And also about my legado, Hadrian Rufus...
I, Constantine, wish the senate to know that even after my decisions...
My kingdom will be a kingdom of peace.
Not only peace on the borders, but also within Rome.
And that means freedom and tolerance...
for Christians...
So, for everyone to walk together... for the good of the Empire.
Delivering in our capt river, Constantine of Gostia, Emperor of the leste.
What does that mean?
That the action of Diocese against Christians is revoked?
Enough of that, brothers.
I, too, joined the priesthood of Constantine's eloquence.
And I'm sure I'll do it for all of you.
Certainly in his legado, but the will of the Emperor must be followed.
Although that by himself and for a moment.
It will be of our hope that Christians will appreciate the great gererosity...
of Constantine.
Let them get out of the holes in the ground.
And may they worship their God without fear.
But they will not deny the gods of Rome.
Nor do they preach that all are equal to the liberation of slaves.
None will be above our court nor among our people.
The Senate will trust that you will to the Emperor gratitude and devotion
I'll do it then.
Constantine, you have all the support.
He has been foiled by your soldiers and you have supported him.
Who gave you permission to speak on our behalf?
The senate is the highest authority of our institution.
Would you say so if you had the liege of Constantine in front of you?
At this moment everything we can do...
it would be a hundred more like his falling from fear...
in the fields of Rome.
What we need is time.
And do not arouse suspicion.
No, Cecilia, it's just nice.
If it were not for marriage, I would use it as a present.
Give me the silver snake bracelet.
How you have affection...
Why do you still insist on this nonsense? You were the one who did not understand...
the events that took place on that night.
I understood the truth, but unfortunately I have no proof.
Because of this we do not have any.
Maximianus, was always a friend leal to Constantine.
Even this morning.
If you had heard it in the Senate...
My brother is very clever. But he will not deceive me any more.
Now that Constantine is the Emperor, he wants me to help him. So it's here.
No, I...
And you're still playing your game.
Why do not you stop playing politics and government?
You have to give up on your part... for you.
No, Fausta. The Empire still needs me.
As you will still realize.
Welcome, Hadrian.
Thanks for receiving me.
Accept these gifts on behalf of Emperor Constantine.
A modest demonstration of your sincere affection for you.
Take it to my room.
They're from the sewing factory, from Zugt's wife.
Just like the peas and jams.
That accompanies that, which surely you most expect.
You're right, Hadrian. I was completely frightened. License.
I'm happy to see you. "May God be with you."
I hope the Emperor is not behind it.
All Rome or waiting impatiently.
The Emperor has many important things that keep him busy.
But the party of ceremony is important.
So, check it out after the wedding.
"Then where will it be?" In Trevire.
If your daughter agrees, the Emperor prefers to marry in Rome.
But Hadrian, you've still not given it to me.
I was waiting for you to ask. The ring is yours.
It was from his mother. It is more precious than anything.
And now, it will be mine.
Hadrian, I hope someday you'll be as happy as I am now.
Your wish is welcome.
Soon, the ancients and I will have to bow before you.
- Hadrian? - Livia...
It does not seem to be real, Hadrian. Your god protects us.
I told you he was the god of love.
Where have you been hiding so far?
In the mountains, we never had horrible moments.
We would not have gotten it if it had not been Helena. I'm sure it was sent by God.
- Heene? - Yes.
How old is she?
- I do not know. How old is she, Livia? - By the fifties.
"Do you know where she is?" She went back to Rome.
The persecution was still going on, but she wanted to help those who were in great danger.
You must help me find it.
Why, but why? "She could be a relative of Constantine."
You will be Constantine. And I'll be Fausta.
And now we bear witness before you and those who are omnipotent.
- Cecily, go and get my ring. - It's all right.
You are still still with me because I brought you with me to Trevire.
None of this. I've seen so many beautiful things. Inclusive your wedding.
Listen, everyone is felizes for us.
And you... Constantine?
Me too, I'm very feliz.
I do not want you to feel. This is just a wedding arranged by your family.
But that is not the case.
Do you remember that I had asked you one time...
if you could one day leave me?
And again I ask?
Constantine...
when you gave me this year I realized...
How much I loved you.
Now I'll never doubt it again.
It was enough for a man to hire a woman...
Throughout your life.
So our lives, too, will be bound forever.
I did not authorize Maxentius to recruit more men.
Cavaleiros and soldados.
It is the trip of the garrison of Rome. What is the reason for these new troops?
To protect Rome. "In times of peace?"
You forgot the Christians. They are going to destroy our most vehement institution.
They are the most peaceful citizens. If they preach that everyone has a...
Including slaves, that does not make them enemies of the state.
Maxentius's policy will further persecute our people.
I will not allow it.
You're not being fair, Constantine. My son is your most leal said.
He believes as I do, that the force of the Empire should not be divided.
Between you and Gallerius, but yes, only in your hands.
I hope I understood you better.
Gallerius is here, the Emperor of the leste.
To officially acknowledge my elition.
I respect his authority as much as he respects mine.
I will never commit any abuse of power, to stay above lei.
"It's made by the man who wins." I'm not so cynical.
The unification of the Imperial force, if it happens, must come spontaneously...
to accept this principle.
Christianity, for example.
You know I'm not a Christian. I do not even sympathize with your convictions.
But I believe in a justice that covers all of us.
How did this happen?
The lock was rotten.
Find the responsible for it.
This is the justice that you have... A moment ago he was alive and now...
Listen to me, Constantine.
Think of the Empire, and an accident like this could lead to unification.
Good...
Because you're Fausta's father, I'll forget what you said.
Hey, Gallerius.
I hope you had a good trip. "How good to see you."
Hey, Constantine... I had an urge to see him.
They do not want it with them, but you're not an Emperor.
"But I will." I find it difficult.
Constantine does not forget easily.
And every day, he gets closer to the Christians.
Come with me.
Constantine...
Aboiovel...
What do I owe my life?
Maybe, to the justice that encompasses all of them.
Arrest him.
Out...
Stop it, stop it.
He stole my sword. I could not stop him.
Allow me the ancients of Rome...
Pay homage to a man...
Whose courage, virtue, and justice will always receive our wisdom.
Many of you, here, may be afraid to honor you...
But I do not.
Like your son, I have the least right to cry for him.
Not even his body was devoted to n s.
They just warned us that he was dead.
Of his glorious death.
They said he tried to kill the Western Emperor.
Where is the proof?
Where are those who can prove?
It is necessary to accuse a dead man of crimes so terrifying.
My father can not go back to tell you the truth.
He wanted more power, which he got for twenty years and gave up.
Or he was killed by someone less fat.
I can not think.
And I feel like I should not talk.
Constantine was more than a brother to me.
And it's like a Greek thug that today...
I am forced to judge your actions.
I wanted my words to be strong and fair.
I have tears in my eyes, old men!
But I accuse Constantine of killing my father.
I call him a liar.
Silcio, make him quiet.
Arrest him, he offended the senate of Rome. Arrest him.
Throw him in the prison.
The man seeks to take possession of the Empire, do not let him deceive you.
He profaned the sacred senate of Rome.
I will not fall as you try...
- Demolir status. This is rebeldia. - Put him in the prison.
Constantine will never allow this revolution.
You seek to destroy the Empire.
There will be a civil war.
Yes... I do, I said. Fall down.
We will not have a situation where our belongings, our lives...
Our Laws and even our Memories are on mercy of absolute power.
That's why my father died, that's why he's dead.
His death was called a suicide.
Anyone who defends the Emperor, in the name of the Empire, will also die.
I will challenge.
Who is with me? Who else?
Death to Christians.
All Titles created by Constantine must be annuated.
First of all for those who have suspended punishment.
The worst and most dangerous enemies of Rome, the Christians.
Let's destroy the Christians.
Rome names Maxentius, our new Emperor.
Wait, old men. Reflect...
I'm not ambitious like Constantine, I take advantage of a...
moment of enthusiasm.
I want the Praetorians to testify...
the Senate vote.
The decision is yours, senators. Do if you want eleger Maxentius...
Emperor of Rome. I give him my vote.
I'm going to be arrested, disorders, massacres, my reeled Laws...
Because of him, your brother, your father tried to kill me.
How unfair of you. You knew the whole plot.
Do you accuse me?
Do not you understand? He needed a situation like that.
An apology to be made Emperor. He did not hesitate to sacrifice his father.
I am surrounded by conspiracy, even in my house.
At least you're not saying that I'm innocent.
Sorry, Constantine, but from this moment on...
There will be nothing except disagreement. Sorry, I checked myself.
And blood. What your brother started, will not end until my brothers have died.
Remember this.
Oh, mysterious force that guides fate...
Help me at this time so serious and difficult.
If I'm wrong, help me see right.
I entrust to you the future of my life and my love.
I will not ask in my behalf, but also for Constantine.
You still have time to change your mind.
My place is on your lado. Unless you tell me to stay.
You have no idea what a war is like.
Why do you want to go with me?
Because I have not forgotten my vow of marriage.
Wherever you go, Constantine, I, Fausta, I go too.
It is not the words that are important, but what is in the heart.
If he had given up. And you wrote fast, did not you?
Only to tell me about defects and betrayal. What you want?
Forgive me.
But I have good news that is worth it to you.
That they are direct from Constantine.
Well, get out.
And you two too, all of you leave.
The hand of Constantine is here in Rome.
Her name is Helena. And she is Christian.
Find her at once.
Like it?
The last time. Where is Heene?
Do not.
She's too beautiful.
With others.
Livia - Demetrius.
Open it.
Is that you?
I told you. I've never seen her.
Let it. You do not need this.
Bring it up.
Well, boy... Where is Heene?
Let him recover. Unless you want to kill him...
Enough.
We meet again.
But this time it will be Itima.
What can you tell me about Helena?
I do not know you.
Do not you know the hand of your Emperor?
Yet you know where she is.
If I had known, would you tell me?
Livia
Livia.
Do not. Do not touch me.
Livia, do not you know me?
It's me, Hadrian.
Poor girl, poor Livia.
That terrari. Horror.
Why did not you let me die the first time they arrested me?
Why did you leave me? Because?
Do not say that. Do not say those things.
Does your God allow this? Allows.
"Are you a Christian?" - No!
May God protect you.
In the same way that he protects you?
Your God is a God who does not help you.
No, Hadrian. It is not true. Even now I know.
She answered him.
I tried to believe...
But when I saw all that injustice and suffering, I could not believe anything.
Do not fill your heart with hate, Hadrian.
It will only take you to longe from me.
Love brings us closer.
Love for all.
Even for those who tortured you?
Yes, even for them.
Do you mean you forgive them?
Yes, and one day you will forgive, too.
Lilia, Lilia.
We have to do something. Who can help her?
It's in you, Hadrian.
I have to leave it and I'm sorry.
You will not die. You can not leave me. I love you, Lilia.
I wanted to live so much...
Hadrian. Hadrian.
Chord. Quickly.
There is no time to question now. Wear this.
You must find the path to the source.
Your friends are waiting for you.
"Why do you want to help me?" "You'll understand when you get to the gate."
Hadrian, here.
This way.
Who are you?
- I was sent by... - I know.
Constantine is from the other side of Taiba.
Tell the Emperor that the weak and oppressed are depending on Him.
- I saw her. You are Helena. - Yes.
Your son is looking for you, everywhere.
It would be very dangerous if he had found me.
Embrace it for me. And tell him that the Christians are with him.
Praetorians are coming. Quickly.
A life is not important, if you can save the lives of others.
Do not worry about us. You go, I'll order.
Do not let them escape.
We got him. Shoot the torch. Quick.
Get them out of here.
What should we do with them?
Keep them under strict supervision. And do not let them talk to anyone.
Listen. Message from Licenius to Maxentius.
Gallerius, Emperor of the Ieste, was assassinated.
Licenius took over.
Instead of a friend, we have an enemy chasing us.
That you are advancing with the military.
To join Maxentius, taking Christians among them.
But, what do you advise?
Maxentius must have promised too much.
Let's give the change to Maxentius and promise him more.
What's important is backwards.
We do not have an advantage over them.
"We know something he does not know. "You're a fool.
Maxentius must have sent five messengers on different routes.
That will take many days.
The longas marches tired them.
They were raised by the hope and help of Gaillardius.
As soon as the news spreads, we will not be able to stop them.
No one will invade Rome.
The gods protected.
Rome has several gods, but we do not have the Christians.
There are many good things.
You lie and they pray.
It might be. All right, but they say they pray in front of the aliens.
So I do the basics.
If you found your brother in a hammer, would you kill him or let him go?
If he was not wearing the same uniform I was, he would not be my brother anymore.
Where are you going in this praetorian outfit?
Leave it alone.
- He wants to conquer Rome alone. - Drink it.
We all know we have to go back while we have time.
If we go back to Germany we can defend ourselves. Here we will be massacred.
Returning to Germany, Licenius would lock us up and Maxentius would stay in our house.
There is no solution. There is a possibility of luta here. Is a question:
How to win?
Go back to your legi es and wait for my orders.
Where is my wife?
I asked where my wife is...
She left wearing an officer's clothes.
There is no need to fight. The Empire is yours. You could be merciful.
Maxentius, listen to me.
Who are you trying to fool?
I do not understand your bitterness...
But I assure you that Constantine did not kill our father.
I doubted it at first, but then I saw that it was true.
Do you think I'm doing this to avenge our father?
How naïve you are. That fool had the end he deserved.
All I needed was his death to make the Senate believe...
- That it was a justified war. - Maxentius.
And now Constantine will have to humble himself before me.
I have as my prisoner the woman that he loves most in the world.
Apuleius. "How disgusting you are."
Do not be convinced, I was not talking about you.
I invited your husband to meet me on the bridge.
I want to see his face when I tell him the name of my final spedo.
Heene, the Christian. Your m...
Your Emperor is finished. There will be no more memory of Him.
I'm proud of being his wife, but I'd rather die than be his sister.
You make everything easy for me. Give me your ring.
You will be responsible for her as well.
One day, unknowingly, you left my life.
Everything seemed lost. Now you can not succeed.
You have not seen me. I was behind the bars in the arena.
But...
I congratulate you, Constantine.
It is rare for a generator to have the privilege of knowing in advance.
The result of the crash.
And I offer you a chance to surrender.
Based on what?
May you disarm and recognize me as the Emperor.
And can I live?
Yes, but not your friends, the Christians.
Thanks to your stubbornness, he will fall into the arena.
They will be exterminated. Each one of them.
"Is that what you wanted to tell me?" Wait, I have not finished yet.
I imprisoned one of your Christians.
Her name is Helena.
You do not have a choice. You can not even go back.
Gallerius is dead.
Your legi are under the command of Licenius are behind you.
Not to support you, but to annul you.
See you tomorrow.
You still have time to decide.
But if you will... You will enter Rome as a corpse.
I bury you in a joint grave.
With your mother and your wife at your side.
Yeah, I'm with her too. Do you recognize this?
She says she's not my sister anymore.
Then I'll exterminate you first.
You will pay for everything. Remember this.
"Why did you leave her there?" I can not disobey it. She's your man.
If only I could see her... Talk to her.
You do. She is the woman of the tribune. You questioned her. Remember?
That woman.
Yes, also in the arena.
As I thought.
I did not know it, but I still did.
Now I condemned her to death.
Together with Fausta, my beloved wife.
His mother said:
A life is not important if it can not save the lives of others.
The massacre has already begun.
I saw them tortured, serene, and certain of themselves.
They submit to everything in their own right. And you are ashamed of yourself.
They are marginalized, they are suffering.
And they become brave.
Even a cold creature like Livia.
Even the worst cruelty can not defeat them or destroy their faith.
- They know why they're dying. - Words, Hadrian. Christian Doctrine.
Your lives are important. More than ever.
I can not let them die.
But how can I let the Empire die?
How can I leave him in the hands of a man without sorrow, jealous and without principles?
The world I dreamed and I fought for.
A world without injustice, violence, where all men are created Free.
"You'll be lost forever." I wish I could help, but...
I know. Even so I fear.
Whatever you decide, I'll be waiting.
His mother said:
A life is not important if you can not save the lives of others.
In Germany we can defend ourselves, we will be massacred here.
It is as if you love someone. It is necessary to sacrifice, even your life.
We're never alone. God is with us.
It's on time. He's coming.
Soldados...
We are about to attack Rome.
Each of you will be able to fight with someone close to you.
A father, a brother, a son...
This is civil war.
His judgments exterminated those who wanted this war.
I do not scare you with your judgments.
Because we do not fight under the umbrage of justice.
The hope of the humble, the oppressed, the needy.
The sign of the cross. I will not force any of you to accept it as your faith.
Only those who are in favor of the rights will remain at my side...
of men to live in freedom.
Without torment, inertia or persecution.
The cowards fled.
Burn, burn it all.
They could not have gone longe. Follow me.
Well longe. Now let's go to the river.
Forward. Be reunited at the riverbank.
Hadian, Hadrian, here.
Thank God you got my message.
How do I get to Rome from here?
The catacombs and the tribes that led us to the prison.
- Are there many soldates? - Pratorians in both ports.
But Rome was never invaded with swords. He is.
Fight well. The prisoners...
We will free all, as well as Fausta and Heene. Follow me.
"You can hide your caves here. Quickly."
Dismount, men.
Guard your horses.
- Quickly. There is no time to waste. - Show us the way.
Be careful. There are many rocks.
Stay together.
Come here. In silcio.
They are there.
They're fleeing.
Training in training.
"You mean to separate it from the rest?" "You heard the orders.
Formation of attack.
Constantine, they're heading straight for the ambush.
Julius, let them see the bait. Quick.
Get them out of here.
Guards, attack.
We meet again, Apuleius.
This way. Come this way.
Be careful.
Our cavalry was destroyed. Constantine is coming to attack.
But they are in lesser numbers.
We will only defeat them with our infantry.
First company in front. Second company march and bunch.
Are we prepared for these Christians?
Come on, girl.
Intimidate, attack.
To the cavalry. Attack them. Tell them to attack.
We can not get them now, Constantine.
We're backing down, Maxentius.
We can stop them.
Cowards. Why are they running away? Voltem.
Cowards.
Fausta... I do not believe you're out.
Your mother, she is also out.
Where is she?
She's waiting for you. I ل.
Do not fall for me.
No, no. It is your son who is here.
Not your Emperor.
Constantine.
My son, my son.
"" With the victory of Constantine, the persecution of Christians had an end...
Freedom of religion, for the first time, came to the Empire.
The divine message of love, hope and redemption
have spread gladly for all mankind. ""
