There aren't any good battles in "Gladiator"...

Although it was great fun to create that dog Latin "Roma victor"; and it was of course brilliant to introduce Obi-Wan Kenobi to a story about ancient Rome. :wink:



But joking apart now: Spartacus has some acceptable battle scenes.

Fall of the Roman empire has some extensive pilum-throwing scenes, which is rare in a movie. And it's a fun movie anyway...

1960, actually; go here for details.

Just watched Fall of the Roman Empire a week or so again. And, Sophia was even more beautiful than I'd remembered. Sigh.

what about the "Last Legion" i thought that was a fairly good movie even though it looked like they used Punic wars style helmets and leather armor and they used a dragon for the signifier for the 9th legion...

[M. Demetrius]

...and not much if any of the things they depicted actually happened....

It was a fun movie, even though pretty fully fantasy. Historians cringed from about the first two minutes, I'm told.

Speaking of Movies on ancient Rome: if you like old-movie i can recommend Cabiria (from 1914). Very good Italian movie. It movie sets itself during the Punic wars. Highlight for me was the Roman siege of Syracuse with the deathray.

yeah what about Hannibal Romes worst nightmare?

Oh yes, I loved it. With poems by D'Annunzio.
