Please!!! I know that maybe is a foolish thing, but this question is making me mad since I watched this movie for the first time... the music that sounds when Galba arrives at Rome after Nero dies is used in Ben-Hur too?????? Thank you and sorry for my poor English.
shareYes. The "Hail Galba" cue in Quo Vadis is essentially the same theme with very similar orchestration as as the "Panem et Circenses" marches in Ben-Hur.
For the former, listen to Disc 1, Track 10 here: http://www.amazon.com/Quo-Vadis-Ben-Miklos-Rozsa/dp/B000KLNQ64/ref=sr_ 1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1207865162&sr=1-2
And for the the second, listen to Disc 2, Track 18 here: http://www.amazon.com/Ben-Hur-Original-Picture-Soundtrack-Version/dp/s amples/B0000033OC/ref=dp_tracks_all_2#disc_2
Same piece of music.
