Short review of this: (Spoilers, if anyone is willing to waste almost two hours of his life)
- Apparently, it seems that in 460 Rome (actually something vaguely resembling the Forum and not much else) was still the Capital of the Western Roman Empire and that the Emperor lived there.
- Something resembling a druid was still around during this time. Roman upper classes were keen on importing them to educate their sons.
- Looks like the Romans were a monarchy because all the Emperors are the descendents of Julius Caesar, even five centuries after his death. Nero, eat your heart out.
- When the Viking-Goths attack Rome, the depleted Roman Army wears lorica segmentata and fights with the gladius. Naturally, fighting with equipment abandoned for more than a century, they get pwned. The Legions are composed by Romans, Numidians, Celts, Jews... damn, they had plenty of manpower, why did they need the Goths fighting for them?
- Somehow a Roman commander saves the heir to the Roman throne. Then they are betrayed by the
Sassanids Byzantines, except from an Indian-Keralite female ninja who chooses to fight for them and carries a sword from the future.
- They manage to rescue the kid from Tiberius' Villa Jovis, which was actually an impregnable fortress. The kid finds Caesar's medieval sword there, and they manage to flee all the way from the Bay of Naples to Great Britain. Wise choice, specially when no one in the group is aware that the last Roman troops left the island 48 years ago.
- Amazing! In Hadrian's Wall they find a legion that vanished from history 340 years ago. They were disguised as local farmers and kept their lorica segmentatas bright and shinny waiting for this day.
- Things get complicated when a Saxon warlord-magician allies with the Goths and they all march into Hadrian's Wall to retrieve the boy and his sword.
- Luckily our heroes win the battle heavily outnumbered. The kid throws Caesar's sword into a stone. Roman commander and Indian ninja lady fell in love and adopt the kid, who turns out to be Pendragon. So, Arthur is descended from Julius Caesar, and is informed of all of the previous facts by 700-years old Druid Merlin.
