Hi Graham
The pictures are from this page:
[url:24txq4zs]http://deadwoodstage.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=romespoilers&action=display&thread=1116896535[/url]
...scroll down the page a bit for the larger linked images. Here's their version of (what I presume is) the Senate House - unless, for some reason, the senators are meeting in the Temple of Vesta :o
Interestingly, looking through these pictures again it appears that several of the swords used actually resemble spathas - they have very 'ovoid' spatha-type pommels at least, and it occurs to me that, with those big belts, the film makers might have picked up a bunch of 4th-century replica gear from somewhere and decided to use it.
Still, my favourite costume is the khaki vest worn by one of the heroes - it has a 'Roman eagle' stencilled on the chest. Bit like those USMC vests I suppose... :roll:
