I could see Hanks as Caesar, though I don't think he'd be best. Patrick Stuart would be great. I think Harrison Ford would be good too, though I appear to have a much higher opinion of him than most do.<br>
<br>
I envision a movie called "The African" detailing the rise and fall of Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanius. Starting scene could be the disaster at Caenne, Pattonesque direction for the Spanish conquest, climax at Zama, and then a lead up to the petty jellousies of the Senate after the Triumph.<br>
<br>
The Varus disaster would probably be the best starting place, though.<br>
<br>
What about a Massada movie? That is a great story that could use telling. <p></p><i></i>
