Commodus:
You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues. Wisdom, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance. As I read the list I knew I had none of them. But i have other virtues, father. Ambition, that can be a virtue when it drives us to excel. Resourcefulness. Courage. Perhaps not on the battlefield but there are many forms of courage. Devotion, to my family, to you.

Marcus Aurelius:

Marcus Aurelius:

Commodus:
All I've ever wanted was to live up to you. Ceasar. Father.
