Scipio Africanus Major

It is great to see somr MMA fans on this site.I've been a fan for about 4 years now and I get all the ppv. Fedor is one of my faves, I rank at #2 pound4pound best fighter,right behind Anderson Silva.

I scored 100 on each side,not surprised as I am a registered Libertarian.

Yeah, I had some reservations in general about the program, but these two elements in particular stuck in my craw. Having read a bit about the 3rd and 4th century issues between the Romans and the Goths, the depictions by this program really sounded overhyped. Now that you mention this, I swear that some of the 'historical clips' they showed came from other History Channel presentations. I know I've seen some of these actors and sets before! I've always viewed,at best, the History channel and History International as introductory level programing . It is so rare that anything dealing with ancient and early medieval history is almost a treat. They bring some very knowledgable people on the programs,but the inaccuracies are inexcusable. I usuaully just ignore these programs.

What ASCLEPIADES posted in part of a bigger work, you can read the rest here. Excellent site,tons of useful infomation here.

Yeah Hollywood will probably butcher it. However, I will point out that we Romanphiles do not get much in the way of big screen entertainment,so I ,knowing that it wont be accurate,will sit back in a theater and enjoy the movie.

I'm from Hillsboro,Oregon. Anybody from Oregon?

Hi I am Scipio Africanus Major,I'm 32 years old and I am a longtime student of Roman and ancient history.I have been "lurking" around this site for several days and I like what I have seen so far. I look forward to talking [and debating ] with everyone.
