<br>
And with his Flavius Silva in "Masada", it's his third Roman. Plus he's participated in three non-roman ancient movies, John Huston's The Bible, Troy and the currently filming Gilgamesh.<br>

BTW, "Augustus" was supposed to be the first of a whole series of movies about Roman emperors co-produced by the Italian RAI and the German ZDF. The others were supposed to be about Nero, Titus, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Constantine and Justinian, if I remember correctly. I don't know if those will ever be made, of course. But I think "Augustus" was generally well-received in Europe. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p200.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=niedel>Niedel</A> at: 1/18/05 8:01 pm<br></i>
