Good choice. An excellent film which holds up very well.
Yeah, I may rewatch as well. I think I've seen it 3-4 times. However, now with my interest in ancient warfare renewed with FoG II I think I'm going to have to watch the Romans and Gauls again. Not to mention seeing the (relatively) shiny new Flavian Amphitheater. 
Except don't try emulating that cavalry charge in hilly, forested terrain in FOG II -- you'll come to serious grief.
There is an excellent series on discovery/history not sure which, called Epic warrior women.
Well worth watching so far. This weeks episode was about female gladiators.

Spot on! Hence the line, "If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium, and you're already dead!"Except don't try emulating that cavalry charge in hilly, forested terrain in FOG II -- you'll come to serious grief.
Definitely one of my favorite films, Ted, from beginning to end.
I watched the opening battle scenes last night. Forgot it took place circa 180 AD and was located in Germania.
I learned that cavalry charges can be effective in the woods if you attack the enemy's rear.
