Brace yourselves... LAST LEGION (late Roman film)

[Robert Vermaat]

The movie is set in 460AD.
In that year, Africa was still under Roman control, Romulus Augustus became emperor, and the Goths sacked Rome, according to the movie of course. :roll:

Not that I in any want to defend this (..) of a movie (although it may generate some interest in Late Roman times, like Gladiator did for its subject)..

They may have intended to melt together the Vandal sack of the City in 455 and Ricimer taking the City in 472, after a 3-month siege.

During the last battle, the Ninth Legion, equipped as a late 1st century legion with auxilliary archers, appeared.
Besides the lack of pila, and the fact that the legion consisted of 3 cohorts at most, it looked rather good when you still could only see them from the distance.

But OF COURSE! The Ninth disapparated from 2nd-c. Scotland and re-appeared in a vault of Gringott's, York (Eboracum branch), having spent all their pila against the Caledonians (and only with 3 intact cohorts left).
