Scene from the Movie Spartacus, back when epic movies were all the rage. Can’t imagine what a production on this scale would cost today. My understanding is that the extras were actual Spanish Infantry on loan from Spain for the movie, which would explain the precision. Imagine how hard it would be to have to train a bunch of civilians to move like that.

Anyway, the scene is enough to give anybody goosebumps. Imagine being one of the barbarian horde and seeing that monster coming at you. Quite impressive even by today’s standards. Feel free to post up with any you might like. But let’s keep the Martial theme going. I’m sure I’m not the only one that appreciates this stuff around here...
