was lucky enough to catch the film "Agora" last night at the cinema, WOW! really really good! the roman soldiers however are wearing leather armour and possibly even leather helmets, but the story was just amazing, anyone not familiar with the film, its the take of Alexandria starting around 350 A.D. with the rise of christianity and the move away from the pagan gods, huge riots but eventually paganism is out lawed and things settle down until the jews get thrown into the mix then more fighting... very emotional film! behind all that though is the story of Hypatia the "first" notable greek female mathamatician and philosopher. kinda goes into her theories of 'gravity' although not called so its her ideas about the earth moving and trying to give reason away from the Ptolemy Almagest. The CGI work for the city is truely AWESOME! some scenes where you see the city alive are just stunning!! especially the work they did to recreate the great library!
anyways go see it yourself! great watch!
