During the events of Rome: Season 1 Episode 1 The Stolen Eagle played by Kevin McKidd
During the final battle against the Gauls, Lucius Vorenus is forced to retrieve a drunk Titus Pullo who has broken ranks. Back at camp Lucius has Titus whipped and condemns him to die in the gladiatorial stadium. After the legions eagle standard is stolen, Mark Antony orders Lucius to retrieve the standard. In order to gather information Lucius has nearby villagers crucified, one Crucified Man tells Lucius it was Spaniards who stole the standard. Antony's Tribune goes into Titus Pullo's cell and informs him he will be joining Lucius Vorenus on the mission to retrieve the eagle standard. As they are riding Titus thanks Lucius for taking him on the mission and Lucius informs him he didn't do it as a favor, but knowing the odds of them finding the standard were low, he decided to take a condemned man along so as not to ruin the career of a good soldier. While Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo are camping Titus falls asleep during watch and their horses are stolen. They see a group of people walking while also using Gaius Octavian to pull a cart. They kill the men and find out they were the Spaniards who stole the standard. They also find Sextus amongst the group holding the standard. Sextus strikes Pullo with the standard and tries to run away but is impaled and killed by a spear thrown by Lucius. They return to camp with the standard and Octavian.
