Saw a picture in the newspaper today of Mel Gibson's controversial movie about the last 12 hours of Christ, "The Passion." The pic is small, black-and-white and poor resolution, but I could make out one soldier in the background who appears to be holding a weighted pilum. His helmet looks vaguely Imperial Italic or maybe Gallic, but couldn't make out any details of armor, or even if he was wearing any. <p></p><i></i>
