Quote:Wait! Why were they chatting on the set of HBO's Rome....? I feel like I'm missing something, it's like six years ago that the series ended....Old sets stay in use for quite a while (I'm not actually sure HBO were the first to use that one).
In other news, there's a mini-documentary about the contubernium up, in which MANLY AMERICAN is shown some Roman military equipment and gives his (ex-Special Forces) opinion on them. It's actually not too bad a summary, and he has some nice insights for the casual viewer (such as caligae being much better at stopping trench foot than modern boots).
