Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- TRIVIA: Longinus' full name is Gaius Cassius Longinus. Edit
- TRIVIA: The song played in light of Claire's death is Loreena McKennitt's "Cymbeline" from her album The Visit. The words are taken from Shakespeare's tragic romance, "Cymbeline", which itself tells the story of the last British-Celtic outpost standing against the Romans. Edit
- There is a long shot of Gar and his men putting on helmets, but later, as they are riding off, the helmets are nowhere to be seen. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Conor: This is the first step toward uniting our land. Now when we fight, we fight for each other, for our freedom, our future and for those that have come before us. This is our home! And we are people that will not be put down, will not be broken and will never be silenced! Edit

You and that Roman freak. Gar: Derek was an obstacle to our future... your future. Claire: How many others are dead? Tell me! Longinus: All of them, said the freak. Edit
