Goodness gracious, great balls of FIRE!

Had to watch this after listening to Seeley on Chasin The Racin podcast!

Seeley just missed a flight to the moon there

I hope you picked the dog shit up chummer

Hi chummer

Hello

Hi

Is that your best mate fishing next to you?

While there are some historical flaws with this scene this indeed was the proper way to defeat a Roman Legion at the peak of the Empire. Ambush them while they're on the march through uneven terrain and thick forest. Attacking the Romans head-on in an open field pitched battle was pretty much suicide.

The movie is great.

These Roman Soldiers Flaws about them These bad ass foreign war prepared group of highly trained professional killers won't 1) Throw their spears, spearing many incoming enemies, quickly killing them 2) Maintain defensive solid line formation 3) Reform defensive solid line formation 4) Spear their enemies 5) Put away their spears to draw their swords as their enemies as individuals are to close to their swords for them to put their spears away so they can quickly draw their swords to sword their enemies, quickly killing their enemies 6) Hit their enemies with the center of their shields 7) Draw their swords as individuals as their enemies who are prepared to use swords are close to them 8) Shield themselves from their enemies 9) Sword quickly from behind their shields against their enemies, quickly killing them 10) From behind their shielding, kill their enemies 11) Kill their enemies from behind shielding 12) Maintain their shields 13) From behind their cover, kill their enemies 14) Kill their enemies from behind cover 15) Maintain their cover 16) Fight together 17) Kill their enemies

love to go to the moon😂

Mamma mia sto film quanto è sanguinoso è molto più bello il Gladiatore di Ridley Scott da bambino lo guardavo sempre

English not Scotish they later where concered by the Saxons with formed England.

Yeah, the sword slicing a man's skull in two is a bit over the top.

Reminds me of a Monty Python sketch from The Life of Brian. Just saying.

Their not german their picts who live in Scotland

Those are some sharp blades...

For better or for worse, Rome is the reason why we have the society and way of life we have today. Western civilization was made possible bec. of them along with the Greeks and Mesopotamia. The atrocities Rome committed was only the price that had to be paid for progress and civilization. In the end the benefits far outweighed the cost.

Good thing they got all those pesky people and their families out of the way.

This is the best scene in the movie, the rest is shit.

You made a comment bashing America. srry if you aren't German or Russian. *good grief*

BULLSHIT! You can thank the Romans for establishing civilization Europe (except Greece). Sounds like the same modern day American propaganda. Let me guess, you're Russian or German?

the sad thing is that in their book the Romans were righteous

Well the fact that the Romans burned Carthage, crucified people, enslaved millions doesn't make them saints in my book and they wrote that stuff down, but like you said there are no true good guys in war.

i wasnt trying to say that the celts were the good guys, if there is a lesson to learn from history it is that in any war their are no good guys.it is never ok to burn cities and whatever bad things the celts did they did it themselves the romans didnt hold their hand and make them. the choice between doing a "necessary evil" and dying is still a choice (its just not a good one). i just dont like that the romans won so they got to write the history books and make themselves saints.

Well, I guess I'm just trying to suggest that when the fall of the Roman Empire is brought up, the last thing that is mentioned is the slavery aspect. I think it's one of the largest reasons.

People actually think it was an insignificant part of the economy? That is preposterous. Empires are built on the backs of slaves - unfortunately.

That makes sense.

My apologies here are the shorter links. It's just commentary in a much larger and reasonably comprehensive thread. tinyurl . com / 8cqelgg tinyurl . com / 9xhbvve

Here, are two links to the concept of slavery being a major significant factor for the fall of the Roman empire. historum . com / ancient-history / 36751-what-killed-ancient-world-10.html#post901238 historum . com / ancient-history / 36751-what-killed-ancient-world-5.html I'm just suggesting that as it stands currently most people believe slavery in Rome was an insignificant aspect of it's economy, I'm just suggesting it was the root of it.

Of course a multitude of factors play into any situation. Conquest is largely driven by a desire for wealth and power. During the roman era, that's underscored by owning slaves. Vanquished enemies were castrated outside of core Rome civilization before entry. Plus local slaves were supposedly granted freedom by ways of lottery and such, which would have fueled the need for more slaves to support the newer free population correct?

They did a bit right in this movie and a bit wrong. Wrong: -Gladius's cant cleave through human parts. There built for stabby stabby not hacky slashy Right: -When the picts broke the shield wall open, the romans were slaughtered.

Interesting idea. But the fall of Rome is a result of a multitude of factors - financial difficulty, poor leadership, weakening of core values, decreased quality of its armed forces etc. Lack of slaves could have been an attributing factor.

Our society isn't perfect. No society is perfect no matter how civilized they claim to be. For better or for worse this is the society we were left with and we have to make the most of it. Even Boudicca and the Celts were imperfect. I can respect your reasons for being against Rome. The only difference I see between either side is that one fights for freedom and other for conquest. Both sides are equally cruel in how they wage war. So just bec. they fight for freedom it is ok to burn cities?

that only makes sense if you think that our society is perfect, the greatest legacy of rome is hippocrasy. you might as well say that the australian colonists were right to try to destroy the aboriginal way of life. and do you remember what the supposedly civilised romans did to boudica? the celts had damn good reasons to resist and as a result they have left a lasting legacy of the heroic example of how one can overcome multitudes

Ever wonder how the empire fell? I find it rather curious that the capture of slaves partially fueled expansion, slaves died in lead mines, were castrated, ect... yet, when the empire ceases to expand, it starts to collapse. Have to wonder if they were thinking ahead and renewing those slaves, maybe?

.....I know the Romans might seem evil to you and most people, but if you take into account what they have done for us in the long, they are a necessary evil. We live in cities today like the Romans did. The cultural practices the barbarian tribes practiced are dead, while their descendants today live the life style Rome introduced throughout its empire. Rome may have fallen in the end, but they still get the last laugh.

I know, and I thank you for being respectful. An empire does not get made by asking people to give up their lands nicely though. Rome did manage to conquer Britian, just not the northern half. In the next couple of centuries during the Dark Ages, cultures in Europe like these Picts would eventually adopt the style of living, culture, and teachings the Romans brought with them. Ironic isn't it......

Well I admit I have not seen the full film you should think about the fact that these people who slaughtered the Romans were just trying to defend their home from an empire they did not want to be part of. So forgive me if this sounds like something out of Bravhear but they fought for freedom and won

The fact that we are living in cities made of steel, wood, and concrete and not in mud huts living a nomadic life style, confirms that Rome did not lie that its mission was to spread civilization. We are living the life style they introduced across their empire. The barbarian cultures and practices are dead, while Rome's endures. Despite its downfall, Rome is victorious in the long run.

Well the barbarian tribes the Romans fought ain't exactly winning me over, with their constant raiding, pillaging, and plundering of towns and cities either. And Rome did keep its promise of bringing peace and spreading civilization (Even though it was not their main intention for conquest.) to some extent. The Pax Romana lasted for over 207 years and their legacy endured its downfall. We live the life we live today in part of what Rome achieved.

Sorry. Meant to say: *Rome was not the only civilization assimilating other cultures.*

Yeah much of their culture is from the Greeks, much in the same way Medieval culture was based off the Romans and so forth. Rome was the only one assimilating cultures. Technically they did bring peace to the world - the Pax Romana. 200 years of peace. They did spread civilization in a sense, building roads and cities. Destroying cultures is an unfortunate consequence - either done intentionally or unintentionally, as simply living among Romans would have you assimilate to their ways over time.

Not for the next thousand years - Rome would prosper. And yes they did bring civilization to the rest of the world: The idea of city living, the concept of writing, literature, art, roads, aqueducts etc. Rome along with Greece and Mesopotamia they founded the civilization we live to day. You should be thankful. Plus you can't hate Rome for conquering people, without hatting almost every other civilization in history. Even the barbarian tribes the Romans fought exploited and conquered others.

dude...the romans were brutal.

Ya, there should be more ass fucking

Good movie but it is unecessary vioent

Am I the only one who was rooting for the Picts in this movie?
