In Reply to: The horror: the Gladiator not using the Gladius!!!!!! posted by Victor Khomenko on June 1, 2000 at 08:35:29:
Victor--The inaccuracies in Gladiator are legion. It's just that in details that won't interfere with the plot it's as easy to get things right as to get them wrong. The makers of Gladiator obviously did a great deal of research on the Roman army, the look is right, but then they disregard this research to show Romans engaging the Marcomanni with napalm and fire-arrows and the Legionaries attacking and fighting like a mob and using their pila (javelins) as thrusting spears (hasta) like they were Spartan hoplites or something. Disappointing to those who love history and would like to see a recreation of the real thing.
