English term or phrase: A hundred for the head...
"There's a hundred for the head of every centurion and a thousand for Mark Antony" - Frase pronunciata da Labieno, generale dell'esercito di Pompeo, prima di affrontare l'esercito di Cesare a Farsalo.

Penso si riferisca ad una ricompensa in denaro (ed in questo caso non sono sicura di cosa rappresentino i 100 e i 1000), ma potrei sbagliarmi...
