Rome was the centre of the western world

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2004)

The movie is a pleasent movie, the initial scene of the battle is accurate and historycally correct. The reconstruction of Rome and north africanians colonies was wrong: Rome was the expression of the western culture , in the movie Rome was depicted as a nowadays north african town, this is a big mistake, the arabs arrived on the coasts of the mediterranean africa about 10 century later,the roman towns in north africa where western town builded as Rome , theaters, termal facilities, "foro" and so on, the whole known world at that time was "romanized". In the U.S. there is a diffused false percection about the ancient Rome and the age of the roman empire.
Sincerely Protesilao
