Just got done viewing the first episode of HBO Rome. This is going to be a great show. I can't wait for the next episode. The armour wasn't bad. The hamata looked good and the helmets vaguely resemble Montefortinos (ok, I squinted a bit).
:?: However, there is one thing that I haven't seen before, what is with the centurios and the whistles? From where did they get that? Did the Romans even have whistles? Ok, they're using British actors, but should the roman battle tactics be anything like WWI, British Sargents blowing a whistle indicating to their men to go over the top?
