I'm beginning to think that anyone who has ever enrolled in a Roman History course probably fails to receive any information on the Late Roman Empire...I know in mine, we covered AD 193 - AD 410 in one 50 minute session. I know there is a lot about the Later part of the Empire and it's fall that I am missing, but even this movie seems a little far-fetched. Out of sheer disgust, I am speechless...however, I'll probably go and see it anyway

That movie is based on the novel with the same name by the Italian author Valerio M. Manfredi which is of course highly fictional but nonetheless I thought it was an entertraining read.

What more could we want...?
Well, so long as the projector is in focus, the air con cold and the popcorn warm, the audience quiet and the THX Surround Sound cranked up to within an decibel of making my ear drums bleed...indeed, what more could we want.
