In my version, Cornificia actually gets away, unbeknownst to Caracalla. And one day when he lets his guard down, and pants, by the roadside to take a leak, a stealthy soldier comes up behind him and slits his throat. The soldier (seen from behind) spits on his still violently convulsing body and then slowly pulls off helmet to reveal long flowing hair. Camera does a slow 180 pan from back of her head to the front of Cornificia's still beautiful yet dirt and blood covered meditative face. Fade to black. [ATTACH=full]1167095[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
