ROMAN: When people died in Roman times, we had some really funny ideas about how to give them a good send-off.
SKETCH ONE
ROMAN VICAR: And above all, Messiunas was a wise and noble man, who would only ever beat his slaves when it was absolutely necessary. He will be sorely missed by us all. But now, for the fight.
