You want Cleopatra. Based on Trajan's Column, but the segs still beat modern movies hands down. Okay, okay, wrong period (perhaps and most likely, etc), but that's not the point.

Oh! and leather musculatae! They would have been painted of course, but still.

Also, Richard Burton playing Mark Antony wears a linothorax, which I think is historical. There's also a discussion about his "Greek" armor. It's awfully strange looking, but at least they were trying.
