The history channel has some innaccuracies but I beleive it also has several very accurate shows especially about the Roman empire. There is one guy on the history channel all the time, Chris Kelly I beleive, who is the professor of Roman history at Oxford and of course a Phd. I see him talking about Roman everything all the time! And I doubt that he is spewing large amounts of false knowledge.<br>
<br>
I want to point out one thing. I'm a stickler for historical accuarcy as well, but I won't let that stop me from enjoying a game that has accurate Roman armies and accurate enemies. Even if that game contains battles that did not really happen, it at least allows me to participate, something none of us will ever do unless we create a time machine. Also being a student of 20 at college, I find that most kids my age could care less even about there own recent U.S history nevermind the Romans. So if a game, or a movie, or a T.V. show, even if it contains minor innaccuracies spurs their interest in history enough for them to even just do an internet search, well mission accomplished. <p></p><i></i>
