Pax Romana is the final playable memory in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
Description
After four years of searching for Cesare, Ezio finally found Cesare at the Siege of Viana. Ezio chased the Captain General across the Spanish plains, trying not to get involved in the fighting. Ezio climbed a destroyed Borgia siege tower, and battled Cesare on the Viana castle battlements.
Dialogue

Ezio charged at Cesare through a raging battlefield, and attempted to stab Cesare. Cesare caught Ezio's arm and struggled against him.
- Cesare: How did you find me?!
- Ezio: The Apple you stole from Mario Auditore led me here!
Ezio forced Cesare down, but Cesare threw Ezio off of him. Ezio still managed to graze Cesare's neck guard.
- Cesare: (To his soldiers) Kill him! Kill the Assassin! Tear the maledetto bastardo (old fucker) to pieces!
Ezio fought several Naverrese soldiers, until a Spanish cannonball hit close by. Ezio was knocked unconscious, but awakened shortly after to find a dead Naverrese on him, which he rolled off.
- Ezio: I need munitions.
Ezio began to loot dead soldiers.
- Spanish Civilian: Help yourself! There's more than enough to go around!
After looting, Ezio climbed onto a stray, unarmored horse.
- Ezio: Faster to travel by horse.

Ezio charged after Cesare, using his horse to jump across a large gap in a destroyed bridge. Not long afterwards, the horse was killed by a cannonball. Ezio continued along the path to find the ruins of a Vianan village. Ezio sneaked past the Spanish soldiers that were on guard.
- Navarre Seeker: I heard Cesare Borgia commands the Navarrese.
- Navarre Brute: Who?
- Navarre Seeker: He once ruled all of Roma.
- Navarre Brute: Really? What happened?
- Navarre Seeker: I heard the Assassin killed his supporters. Great rulers rise and fall like leaves in the wind.
- Navarre Brute: I will give you wind (Both laugh).
Ezio continued through the ruins until he reached an intact portion of it. Navarrese and Vianan soldiers were fighting in the streets. A Spanish woman ran to Cesare and begged him for help.
- Spanish Woman: ¡Ayúdeme! ¡Dañan a mi hijo! (Help! My son is injured!)
Cesare nodded, then carried on walking into the village towards the fortress. Two Naverrese soldiers pulled the woman aside and one stabbed her with a Stiletto and spat on her corpse. Ezio chased after them, and saw some women being chased by more of Cesare's soldiers.
- Woman: '¡Déjame en paz! (Leave me alone!)
- Soldier: I will not hurt you.
Ezio continued through, battling soldiers on his way. At one point, he heard a Navarrese priest attempting to dishearten the Spanish.
- Priest: You brought this upon yourselves through sin. This is how the Lord punishes you. Ours is a just God, and this is justice. Praise the Lord! Thank you God for teaching us to be humble. To see our punishment for what it is, a call to spirituality. The Lord he giveth and the Lord he taketh away. So the truth is written. Amen!

Ezio climbed a burning siege tower, and saw soldiers jumping off it as he climbed. The tower broke at the base, forcing him to perform a Leap of Faith as it collapsed. He fought off attacking guards until he reached another (sturdier) tower that was next to a wall, and climbed it. Ezio fought his way along the wall to find Cesare finishing off two soldiers.
- Ezio: Cesare! The walls surround you. There is nowhere to run.
Cesare turned to face Ezio and raises his sword.
- Cesare: Come then, Ezio!
The two began fighting. Throughout the fight, soldiers rushed in to aid Cesare, and Cesare taunted Ezio.
- Cesare: I cannot die.
Fortuna (Fortune) will not fail me.
I am the best fighter who ever lived.
Stay back!
Defeat will never taint me!
An Auditore will never best me.
Roma, Italia, España. They will all be mine.
Take that!

Despite the seemingly endless waves of soldiers, Ezio managed to slowly whittle away Cesare's armor. Eventually, Ezio weakened Cesare enough so that he could jump on top of Cesare and prepared to stab him with his Hidden Blade.

- Cesare: The throne was mine!
- Ezio: Wanting something does not make it your right.
- Cesare: What do you know?
- Ezio: That a true leader empowers the people he rules.
- Cesare: I will lead mankind into a new world!
- Ezio: Che nessuno ricordi il tuo nome. (May no one remember your name.) Requiescat in pace. (Rest in peace.)
- Cesare: You cannot kill me! No man can murder me!
- Ezio: Then I leave you in the hands of Fate!
Ezio threw Cesare from the wall.
Outcome
Cesare Borgia was killed.
Mario is avenged at last.
Trivia
- Despite being Spanish, during combat the guards use the same Italian dialogue as Roman guards.
- In the version of this memory viewed at the beginning of the game, part of the dialogue is edited, so as to prevent spoilers.
- In the beginning of the memory, the first guards Ezio encountered were actually Borgia guards, not Navarrese or Viana guards. This is odd because Borgia only had presence in Italy and were no longer in control during the Siege of Viana.
