I will definitely watch it but I'm already disappointed by the Roman army uniforms. In 9AD they did not
have plate armor and rectangular shields. They still wore mail shirts and carried the late Republican oval
shields. Unfortunately the plate armor seems to always be used by Ancient Roman movies like Ben Hur
that took place before it was widely after about 30AD.
Kind of like in the movie Patton where all the German tanks were actually American with German crosses.
Of course only us "purists" will care.
