I enjoyed it. Yes the sex was gratuitous but it is HBO and Deadwood did it too. I much prefer uncensored TV after the watershed.
I rather liked the battle with the whistle and swop over;crouched legionaries with right hand placed in the small of the back of the man in front. We know nothing of how it was really done so the film makers are entitled to make as good a guess as we can. If the moment is chosen correctly then it would work. I have certainly pushed the man in front to keep the line firm but with my shield not my arm. What do police forces do?
I rather liked too the attitude to slaves which seems incredible in our pc times but is quite consistent with what we know from Virgil say. It reminds us that over 2000 years social attitudes can change dramatically. Look how things have changed in my 58 years!
It should provide some food for thought to my christian brethren who want to call Peter and Paul in aid of their own prejudices against women and homosexuals(employing our meaning of that word not the Romans)
