Movies are gradually getting better legionary equipment even if bending history to make better stories. See Ancient period movie reviews: <!-- l <a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.romanarmytalk.com/rat/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=27506">viewtopic.php?f=7&t=27506<!-- l for more on that subject. Reviews on Centurion and the other "Disappearance of the Ninth Legion" movie "Eagle of the Ninth" will show up there when the movies are available later this year. It does seem to me that Roman era films tend to portray views of Rome's enemies as much more primitive and more warlike cultures than they really were.
