Quote: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
:roll:
UCLA fortunately has some excellent courses on the Late Empire under Drs Mellor and Rapp.
Read the book - I'll probably see the movie too, out of morbid curiousity (but I'll wait for the release at the local $3 theater or rent it at Hollywood Video).
