Scipio Africanus film, Black and White 85 minutes<br>
1000's of extras <br>
cruelty to elephants<br>
armor and shields? (not bad for 1937 I guess)<br>
The costuming is from okay to atrocious!<br>
<br>
Best part? 1000's o extras as INFANTRY moving in formations and lines, and NOT MARCHING in step! Now there is some evidence on film for the idea that romans did not necessarily have to march in step to move from place to place in formations on the battlefield! Don't believe me? Spend $30 and get the film! <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub45.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=caiusfabius>Caius Fabius</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ROMANISROMANORVM/files/C%20Fabius%201988b.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 2/9/03 3:18:25 am<br></i>
