how acurate is it?


So how acurate is this movie concerning the politics, and the portrayal of Caesar's main enemies the Celts and Germanic tribes?

Are any battles of the Gallic war shown, and are the legionairies wearing Lorica Hamata or Lorica segmentata?

If accuracy is of importance, then this film isn't for you.

Good ol' Sulla dies of a stroke while still being dictator.

The politics are overly simplified. Key elements of his political life like the triumvirate is left out and so is the character of Crassus.

There's only one battle (guess which) and let me just put it this way, Caesar stays on his horse.

For the Gauls, apart from one, you do not really get to see them, but he's done ok.

Just take it as pure entertainment. :)
