Yeah that would be the Praetorians - since they come across as Nero's SS - the tacky armour (all dark and nasty looking) plays to the Hollyweird stereotype.<br>

The segmentata worn by the male lead (shown in the first ten minutes!) was by FAR, the best Roman armor I've ever seen depicted in a non-documentary flick.<br>

... and it was nice that the actors at the premiere could tell the difference(s) between the Newstead and Corbridge types - THAT impressed me...<br>
