Anyone seen it here? One of those euro bbc and other euro channel cooperation with the national geographic.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0766213/
I was shocked that this almost documentary style movie (90min runtime) went into so many equipment pains to portray the romans and the carthaginians with what seems very correct period dress.
Romans come with Velites, Hastiati, Princeps and Triarii. The equipment seems taken straight out of an Osprey booklet.
Same thing with the Iberian and gaulish troops which are also photocopies from the Osprey pictures.
Battle scenes are also VERY decent with pilum showers, Falcatas, etc...
A MUST see
