Romans, make way. The good Andronicus,
Patron of virtue, Rome's best champion,
Successful in the battles that he fights,
With honour and with fortune is return'd
From where he circumscribed with his sword
And brought to yoke the enemies of Rome.
“Titus Andronicus” Act 1 Scene 1

Soldiers blowing horns.
Soldiers back from war taking a bath. What a grandiloquent way to take a bath! This place is modeled after
Tomb of Eurysaces the Baker.
Goth queen begs for mercy for her son.
Her son is about to be disemboweled as a ritualistic sacrifice for the dead soldiers by the victorious party in the war.
Goth queen in anguish.
