   My wife did classics in TCD, and was taught by the woman who did the 
historical consultations for Gladiator. Apparently she was routinely 
ignored on almost everything she said if it didn't fit the "vision" - 
classicists now have the Gladiator Drinking Game where you take a drink 
every time something is wrong, and you're plastered before he gets back to 
Rome.

   Drew.
