Quote:No way! I thought for sure that was cinecitta. Oh well. The decision to put the arch of augustus in the HBO Rome set is simply inexplicable. It's one thing to have to work around an existing set, entirely another to put in inaccuracies intentionally.

Oy vey!.

Oy vey indeed. Hopefully, they are going to be a little more careful with the historical facts for the 2nd season.

Samual Bronston, the producer of FOTRE, made all his epics (King of Kings, El Cid, FOTRE, 55 Days in Peking) in Spain, due to costs and easy access to the Franco-era Spanish military (for extras).
The set for FOTRE was near a small village called Las Matas, if I remember correctly.

Yes, the Ben Hur segmentatas are pitiful, but the ones in "King of Kings" are even worse... Just two bands of metal over each shoulder, and two bands around the belly. Great protection ;-) )
