Ancient Rome: the Rise and Fall of an Empire
#43
Quote:Well, just now we had Constantine and his
Of course, there were also goof-ups, such as senes from earlier episodes (with early equipment). Or the drowning of Maxentius (no cavalry? Where was the original Milvian Bridge?), the absence of Licinius'cataphracts, the absence of any spears in battle scenes...

No Pila in earlier battle scenes either, if I recall correctly. Safety and insurance issues I would imagine!

Overall, another reasonably good presentation. A less mad hatter Constantine would have suited me better, but it was pretty much what I was expecting...
It is a joyful thing indeed to hold intimate converse with a man after one\'s own heart, chatting without reserve about things of interest or the fleeting topics of the world; but such, alas, are few and far between.

Yoshida Kenko (1283-1350), Tsurezure-Gusa (1340)
