"
It
s
an
idea
.
It
s
something
they
want
to
believe
in
,
"
said
Lucilla
.
422
Commodus
was
suddenly
excited
.
"
I
ll
give
them
something
to
believe
in
-
I
ll
give
them
great
ideas
.
And
they
ll
love
me
for
it
,
"
he
said
,
raising
his
arms
to
the
sky
.
"
I
will
give
them
the
greatest
ideas
,
the
most
wonderful
Rome
ever
!

There
were
artists
at
work
in
the
streets
,
painting
enormous
pictures
on
walls
.
Their
pictures
showed
scenes
of
gladiators
and
wild
animals
fighting
,
and
the
sand
on
the
floors
of
the
arenas
was
red
with
blood
.
Crowds
stood
and
stared
,
watching
as
the
pictures
were
completed
.
This
was
the
start
of
the
advertising
for
Commodus
s
new
idea
.

"
Games
!
"
Gaius
complained
to
Gracchus
and
a
group
of
other
senators
as
he
joined
them
in
a
cafe
.
"
One
hundred
and
fifty
days
of
games
!
"
426
The
senators
watched
the
wall
painters
working
outside
the
cafe
.
427
"
He
s
smarter
than
I
thought
,
"
said
Gracchus
,
quietly
.

"
Smart
?
"
said
Gaius
.
"
All
of
Rome
would
laugh
at
him
if
they
weren
t
so
afraid
of
his
guards
.
You
can
t
really
think
that
the
people
will
forget
Rome
s
problems
and
sit
back
to
enjoy
these
games
?
"
he
asked
.
"
It
s
completely
mad
"
429
"
I
think
he
knows
what
Rome
is
,
"
Gracchus
replied
.
"
He
will
give
them
magic
,
and
then
they
ll
have
something
else
to
think
about
.
He
will
take
their
lives
,
and
he
will
take
their
freedom
.
And
still
they
will
shout
and
cheer
.
"
He
shook
his
head
,
sadly
.
"
The
beating
heart
of
Rome
isn
t
in
the
walls
of
the
Senate
.
It
s
on
the
sand
of
the
Colosseum
.
He
will
give
them
death
.
And
they
will
love
him
for
it
.
"

The
other
senators
knew
he
was
right
.
It
was
a
lesson
from
history
.
But
they
did
not
know
that
Commodus
was
planning
better
and
longer
games
than
any
emperor
before
him
.
And
it
was
all
for
one
reason
.
Commodus
knew
he
had
no
choice
.
He
and
the
Senate
did
not
agree
about
anything
and
he
could
not
be
certain
of
their
support
.
So
he
had
to
look
beyond
the
Senate
and
go
straight
to
the
people
for
his
power
.
The
games
were
the
key
.
As
Lucilla
had
said
,
the
people
must
have
their
traditions
.
And
he
would
not
deny
his
citizens
their
traditional
games
.
