Longinus actually appears as one of the chief villains in the Australian series 'Roar', starring a very young Heath Ledger which was probably only ever seen by night owls like me, in the UK. Set in Ireland at the beginning of the fifth century during a Roman invasion, the Roman soldiers, shock horror, wear ridge helmets, scale armour and have long sleeved tunics and trousers!!!
Longinus also appears in a flashback scene to the crucifixion, wearing a mail shirt and a coolus helmet. However whovever did wonders in the Roman costume department failed miserably when it came to the Celts who look straight out of Xenia!
The Roman soldiers and gladiator gear in the Star Trek episode seemed to have come from 'The Robe' and its sequel 'Demetrius and the Gladiators'.
