Tomovoz,-LOL. That was my first thought but you said it wasn't "The Robe". I know, it really wasn't cause they weren't tossed to the lions.
Well, they weren't pushed off a cliff, either...LOL.
Caligula demanded that Tribune Marcellus Gallio renew his oath of allegiance to the Emperor and to denounce his God.
Marcellus renewed his vow, but refused to denounce God. For this, Caligula condemned Marcellus to the archery field. Diana, who loved Marcellus, joined him as the Emperor voiced protests.
Diana announced before the assembly that she'd rather die with Marcellus than to spend one more hour in an empire ruled by Caligula.
Aren't she and Burton heading to their deaths at the end of "The Robe"?
As they walked, escorted, from Caligula's throne room, she handed over the Robe to another Christian. Marcellus and Diana walked out amid the strains of an Hallelujah as the throne room faded out and clouds and blue sky replaced it.
Into a Better Kingdom.
