    To the other question in the op, I don't think that any barbarian performed executions that were more cruel than that of our beloved civilized nations of antiquity. Probably only just as cruel.

    (later chorus -containing a wrong regimental name for the Bayreuth-Dragoner (DR Nr. 5) - of the "Hohenfriedberger Marsch", reminiscense of a battle in 1745 AD, to the music perhaps of an earlier cuirassier march)

    Yea sorry Kev, I was just so appalled

    I have no idea whether barbarians were more "barbaric" in their executions. I suspect everybody was about equally cruel...

    As for that duel, it is very hard to make a good and showy, and at the same time realistic, fight with one-handed spears. This one generally/almost succeed and is quite well choreographed- a bit too much, but still.
