March Roman Centurion! (The Roman Soldier in films)
“Legate, I had the news last night - my cohort ordered home
By ships to Portus Itius and thence by road to Rome.
I've marched the companies aboard, the arms are stowed below:
Now let another take my sword. Command me not to go!
I've served in Britain forty years, from Vectis to the Wall,
I have none other home than this, nor any life at all.
Last night I did not understand, but, now the hour draws near
That calls me to my native land, I feel that land is here.”
“Roma, Roma, O Roma!
Legio, aeterna, aeterna victrix!
Legio, aeterna, aeterna victrix!
Verti est sua aeterni
Corda nostra solum tibi
Verti est sua aeterni
Vita nostra solum tibi
Roma, Roma, O Roma!
Legio, aeterna, aeterna victrix!
Legio, aeterna, aeterna victrix!

Legio, aeterna, aeterna victrix!”

At Ravenna, they have to battle, and they are stopped by the power of the Roman legions and the cunning of the emperor's sister, Galla Placidia. As the Goths lose many warriors in the cruel battle, Alaric vows bloody revenge. When the Visigoths return to Ravenna, Galla Placidia manages to send them against Rome instead, and remains alone in her home city with a handful of soldiers. The Visigoths exert their revenge on Rome, attacked and sacked, but then Placidia is captured by Ataulf. The Roman Emperor of the West, Onorius, sends Olympius, consul of Rome, to negotiate Placidia's freedom. It comes down to a single duel between the courageous consul and Ataulf. Ataulf loses, and is honor bound to let Olympius free one of the women prisoners. The consul chooses Sabina, his lawful wife whom he had married for political reasons but for whom he had become in love. Galla Placidia, who longed for Olympius, is therefore forced to accept Ataulf for husband. Her gesture appeases the Visigoth's crave for revenge and the city of Ravenna is spared.

He and his men were looking forward to celebrating their return with families and friends. The fearless warrior expected his Emperor to be pleased with his conquests, but Nero showed little interest. Other priorities were far more important. Nero ordered Marcus to assist Menecrate, the hated leader of the Praetorian Guards, in cleansing the city of its Christian presence but he refused and resigned as consul in protest. He was immediately sentenced to death and his legion disbanded. Marcus Valerius is a valiant soldier and the killing of innocent people goes against all his principals. The former hero now becomes the hunted.

- The subject of this beautifully colored picture is the great Gaulish chieftain. Vercingetorix, of the tribe of Arverni. He was a powerful adversary of Caesar and was continually perpetrating hostilities against the mighty monarch. In the first view Gaul's hero is seen among his own people, who honor and respect him for his valiant deeds. Many times has he led them in battle against the Romans, and each time has he come out victorious. Now, however, after a long siege, we see the brave Gaul shut up in Alesia where Caesar's army, after a prolonged battle, eventually capture the powerful fortress and take Vercingetorix a prisoner. The latter is led before his hated enemy, Caesar, where he surrenders and instead of being extended the usual courtesy that is due to the vanquished, Caesar has his prisoner bound in chains and keeps him captive in the camp, where Vercingetorix is compelled to witness many ghastly deeds perpetrated against his own people. In one scene he is led into the great arena, where he is forced to witness Caesar enter in triumph and in full power, while he is thrown to the ground like an animal and made to bear the jeers of the vast multitude. Finally when Caesar feels that he has tortured his prisoner quite enough, and wishing to be rid of him, he sends two powerful men to the cell, where Vercingetorix is confined, and, in the presence of his wife, who is fighting for his liberty, the great chieftain is strangled to death.
