G'Day Bros n' sons n' gents n' such,
Anyone here ever get the chance to take in much of HBO's ROME series? I checked it out this weekend and I found it fastenating not so much due to the Romaness of it all but because of the manner in which it portrayed the more minute aspects of the individual private lives of a few of the citizens.
In the opening scene of the first episode there is an encounter between legionares and the Gauls. Very interesting helmet designs I suppose of earlier Republican concept. These seemed of hammered bronze with no brow guard and smallish cheek plates which hug tightly to the cheeks.
Any idea as to their validity and also your general opinion of the series?
Thanks much as always. Hope you are all having am awesome weekend in your parts.
VIRES ET HONO!
Cheers!
Rick
