Quote:Watched the trailer. Plus side - some very accurate gladiator outfits. Minus side - they're accurate for the 8th decade AD, not for the 8th decade BC.
Not accurate enough - I watched only the picture which is shown when following the link and there I saw that they two fighters wear sandals (not even nailed caligae). But gladiators always fought barefooted. One is wearing the "leg manica" of a murmillo but no scutum etc. So why is he wearing that thing at all in that scene? Anyhow, I agree that they have more authentic looking gladiator gear than in "Gladiator".
