>no Auxilia fighting alongside legions
Oh god this. I don't think any movie has ever shown the auxiliaries, even though they made up the majority of pretty much every Roman army. Not even the cavalry.

>archers lighting arrows on fire before shooting
they're supposed to light them on fire after they've shot them?

Do not forget the forced subhumans because muh anglo/german/french/swede fetish.

>>87302911
They're not supposed to light them at all, Peggy.

Wasn't the rotation done away with the Marian Reforms?
Or do you mean regular file rotation from back to front?

Fire arrows were only used in specific circumstances, if at all. They're a good way to set your enemy's food stores on fire in a siege, but a really shitty way of actually killing men in thick clothes and armour. That wad of burning cloth adds plenty of weight and drag.

>>87303127
Obviously the latter.

HBO series rome, literally the first scene is the front line rotation, and has graphic graffiti.

>>87302609
Get in formation!

>>87303411
By far the best depiction of ancient Rome in any sort of consumer medium.

>>87302565
Yep, and don't forget the anachronistic civilized nordic whites.

What the fuck is this shit supposed to be? Why are there new kingdom era Egyptians in fucking CLEOPATRA'S court? Ptolemy empire was Hellenic, and by this point in history heavily Romanized too (pretty much everyone started fielding copycat legions soon after encountering the Romans). What the fuck is this Khadesh crap?

My bas. I meant the earlier Alix comic, not the be present at Vercingetorix' surrender, travel to China and return to bring Vercingetorix back to Gaul before Caesar gets his triumph comics

>>87306093
Heh, I guess you can only sell historical events for so long. At some point you have to start making shit up or run out of stuff to talk about.

>>87305013
Yeah, but Asterix still is the best quality wise.

>>87306384
Rome is much better than Asterix

Asterix also sins for being dated. At least a third of the jokes you don't get if you're not a Frenchman that was alive in the 60s

>>87302609
I prefer niggerwashing instead of weeb trash like that
