The Ram has touched the wall
The title of the episode is a phrase used by Mark Antony advocating "no mercy" toward Pompey and the Optimates. The phrase is English translation of the Latin "Murum aries attigit" (see De Bello Gallico, Book II, Chapter XXXII). It refers to the policy of not allowing any mercy or surrender to the occupants of a fortification once the battering ram begins the assault on the gates. This policy was to act as a deterrent against resistance to those about to be besieged. It was an incentive for anyone who wasn't absolutely sure that they could withstand the assault to surrender immediately, rather than face the possibility of total destruction.

Anyway I'm getting paid $100 to fence/fight with foam weapons/larp something like that. We'll all be filmed for God of War 2.
