A Biblical epic that has a Legate in charge of Christ's execution and gambling to win his Robe.
Popular in it's day it a movie that could would be unlikely to be made in today's Hollywood. I give it two stars overall. * *
It gets a four bracers and avoids the worst rating of five for having decent looking scuta (however lacking bosses) a couple of good metal curtiss. It features lots of bracers, poor Round topped helmets, Leather Armor, and a centurion wearing an Attic helmet and chain mail with shoulder armor (paulders) = = = =.
For weapons a rating of one spear point is given for decent socketed style Pila. Swords are similiar to 1700 -1800 Artillery foot swords and daggers are medievel style. ^
It is of interest to note the movie won an Oscar for costume design reflecting the lack of Roman era historical costume and military equipment knowledge over fifty years ago.
