Hi guys<br>
saw it last night.<br>
I was struck by the terrible roman equipment! All the while, on the other hand, the saxons didn't look that bad! I couple of nice helmets and gear in their mist. Of course I am not an expert but my impression was not negative. Even the way the saxons were made to move in groups (drums?) looked somewhat plausible and acceptable. But the roman equipment? Trash!!!<br>
<br>
Question what was a rich roman villa doing north of hadrian wall (at least they had the nice idea to make it fortified).<br>
<br>
Question: I saw the DVD in english and was really annoyed by the italian accent actors. It seemed the film makers chose italian actors precisely because of their terrible english, to somewhat emphasize the distance of the "roman" from the true inhabitants of Britain that spoke with english/irish/whatever accents, all the while the saxons spoke with U.S. accents! <p></p><i></i>
