Frank expounds on the lessons of Roman history and how Sulla murdered Marius's son.
But, apparently cheeky young Pompey the Great also said to old Sulla that "More people worship the rising Sun, than the setting Sun!"
Just like the Bible, Roman history has a quote for every occasion.
TRANSCRIPT: When the Roman general Sulla, who was about the same age I am now, marched on Rome to purge the city of usurpers - it was a blood-bath - his greatest rival was a young man named Marius who was just 26 years old, and after Sulla had him killed, he held up his head in the forum and looked into the boy's dead eyes and said, "First, you must learn to pull an oar, only then can you take the helm!"
[checks blood pressure] Hmm... 110 over 80, not bad.
