Zucchabar was apparently a real Roman town in North Africa - though not a province or a provincial capital.<br>

One may wonder why Gladiator's makers chose the name, rather than that of better-known North African Roman cities, like Tingis, Volubilis or even Carthage. Perhaps they liked the "exoticism" of its name...<br>
<br>
Personally, I think it sounds like something likely to cause your teeth to rot... <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p200.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=chariovalda>Chariovalda</A> at: 2/4/05 10:30 pm<br></i>
