A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Augustus, emperor of the holy city of Rome,
has appointed a new governor for Germania:
Senator Publius Quinctilius Varus.
Fuck, these brutes don't understand a word.
From now on,
Rome will no longer waive your tribute.
Varus requires every tribe to pay the value
of 20 cows
or 50 centners of grain.
What?
Say that again.
You have three days.
Finally, you're here, my son.
Welcome to Germania.
It's good to see you again after all this time.
I can really use your good strategy in this crazy land.
That's not even enough to wipe my ass with.
Go!
This isn't even close to what Rome requires.
Governor Varus expects a demonstration of your loyalty to Rome.
Your leader should kiss our standard.
Go on.
On your knees.
Victorious Rome!
Most of the tribes have submitted and paid the tribute.
But not him.
I'll give you one more chance, Barbarian.
Metellus.
The tribes don't understand this.
According to their law, a man cannot sentence another man to die.
There is no Germanic law.
There is only Rome.
They must learn.
-I wasn't told about this. -Who is this slave?
Let them in.
If Metellus doesn't get her, he'll take you.
Halt.
Secure the camp.
Secure the camp!
Close the gate!
Quickly!
Fetch water!
Hurry!
The eagle is sacred!
The guards will all be punished, just as Mars will punish us.
Give me 100 legionaries, Governor.
Oh yeah?
I will bring it back.
How do you know where to go?
There are hundreds, thousands of Barbarian villages.
I will burn them down, one after another.
And provoke a rebellion?
That's exactly what they want.
I'll look for them.
Give me the Germanic mercenaries.
I'll have the eagle back by tomorrow.
Go to Adjunct Prefect Talio
I want you to ride out at dawn.
Where can I find your cohort commander Talio?
What is this?
What the hell are you doing?
The Barbarian started it, Dominus.
Is that true?
I asked you if that were true.
Forgive me… Dominus.
They may wear Roman armor,
they may get Roman pay,
but they are and will remain damned Barbarians!
You're not exactly a model soldier either.
Dismissed!
I have a mission from Varus himself.
You and your men will be my support.
We ride out at dawn.
That's enough.
You go this way, and you that way.
