I, too, am getting hooked onto the series.
I guess I just have to let the half-arsed military details pass for now. They did at least have most of the soldiers in Hammata. That's at least an improvement. I did notice I cringed each time I saw an offier in leather armor, but, as far as we know, that much is possibly accurate.
Although my major gripe with the most recent episodes is the Legionary Pullo (pollo?) wearing a tan colored Tunica with a black "Imperial Eagle" printed on the front...UGH! *palm-forehead* Did he complain not unlike Sam Jackson in Star Wars for a Purple Lightsabre as for an "Eagle print Tunic"? Or was that a "Producer" call? Damn they were doing SO well.
Gotta love the really nasty grafitti everywhere. Egads!
I'm really getting sick of Atia though. I mean, isn't she getting sore with all that action? Take a rest, honey!
The thought of Ocatvian being very strict morally...well now we can see where he gets it from. Seeing your mom(?) naked and boinking everything in sight, yeah I think he's a little traumatized, or being sent off into Gaul "all alone" to go talk with Uncle Caesar then being sent back with a severed head in your lap...Time for some therapy!
I do really like the Centurion character, very interesting.
