6. A Meeting at Gracchus' House continued
Lucilla, Gracchus and Gaius discuss the cost of the games on Rome's future...and what's to be done about Commodus.



Lucilla:
"The people will be starving in two years. I hope they're enjoying the games because soon enough they will be dead because of them."
