HBO\'s "Rome" to present more realistic look at the
Nice point Narukami. these discussions are great, one learns a lot and maybe in doing so it may one day broaden the knowledge of all involved.

As for the producers, profit is what counts. They run a business!

Yes it would be wonderful to have a historically correct documentation of ROME, but having spent many years in the industry, that reply I would always get still rings strong...

" if I spend the money on that, is it going to sell me more movies?'

Production costs versus profit.

We know that it probably wouldnt cost a cent more to produce an authentic helmet, they dont. For them to find out means paying someone to research and investigate the costs......money money money! Plus, can you imagine teh consultant screaming, this is historically incorrect to a profit making producer?

We're talking an era where actors, want all sort of ridiculous demands that need to be met..I think and know that the wants of the consultant are not even going to make the table!

Unfortunately, that's how they see it.

Is a historically correct helmet to the GENERAL public going to make a difference?

I doubt it.
