LAST LEGION movie

[Robert Vermaat]

Hi Goffredo,<br>
<br>
I read the book, but more out of an interest in Arthurian matters than Late Roman. His book is nice but not extremely good, and like most books about the Later Roman period (such as Hadrian's Wall and Eagle in the Snow which I'm currently reading) is it yet another script that shows nothing of the Late Roman Army but harks back to the 'good old days' of the Legions. There is some action in the first part of the book (where the main character's unit, a 're-created' legion) is wiped out by barbarians in leage with Roman traitors, but after that it's just one long escape.<br>
<br>
So here's the dilemma - if he wants to stay close to the script that means portraying, as usual, long outdated legionairies, because that is what he writes about. No late Roman soldiers by design! What can we do?<br>
<br>
The enemy is a bloodthirsty barbarian - no chance of portraying him and his men like Late Romans.<br>
<br>
Dilemma, like I said.<br>
