- Oenomaus: [Oenomaus presents Gannicus with the Rudius] You have earned the Rudius. Proof you no longer stand a slave.
- Gannicus: [Gannicus studies the Rudius] A lifetime of blood.
- Oenomaus: And victory. It lifts troubled heart to see my brother gain his freedom. Mellita would have been proud.
- Gannicus: Oenomaus. She loved you. Above all others.
- Oenomaus: The thought shall keep me warm... until I join her in the afterlife.
- Gannicus: And I shall me you both there.
