    Gladiator was a pretty good one, IMHO.

    Hmm...without a doubt Gladiator was a great period piece.

    There was this other movie concerning Julius Caesar, with that guy from Law and Order and Sex and the City starring in it. Forgot what name it was, but I guess it looked kinda decent.

    I haven't watched Caligula, but I heard about it?

    How was it?

    LOLlerpop!

    Now that sounds like a plan

    That movie must have been so inaccurate and filled with nudity for the purpose of nudity unto itself. Not like its a bad thing...

    But it does sound like a schizophrenic romp reflecting the life of Caligula.

    Not a movie, but a really really good uncensored HBO series called "Rome". It does go into detailed character development, but meshes best with the game in terms of putting definite faces and personalities on the various Roman factions. The show is very impressive in giving a feel for the power and glory of Rome. Season 1 is over and available on DVD (like a 15 hour movie) Season 2 is coming up fairly soon.

    Though it goes pretty far in detailing the political struggle, it also centers around the discontent felt by the prīmus pīlus, the Centurian leading the First Cohort- an honorable pleb who is unhappy about following Gaius Julius after Julius is outlawed by Rome. Hes loyalties are torn between his legion and Rome, between his loyalty as a soldier and his loyalty to the republic. Its some good s**t

    Ah I remember now, yes, thank you for the reminder GottMitUns.
    "Rome", yes thats a very good series as well.

    Hmm, another movie, possibly ranging into the B movies, is this piece called
    "Amazons and Gladiators". Something like that...

    I saw it on FOX after midnight, during the summer.
    It was...an acquired taste...guess thats why I didnt finish watching it.

    Anyone see that one?
