Re: East of Byzantium?
This film is not set in the 10th century ("soldiers with round shields on church walls" i.e. Aghtamar) or the 13th "in Cilicia there were also spear units with round shields". I've a feeling your "You can see round shields being used by the elite of the Yerevanduni Kingdom" refers to 19th c or Soviet-period romanticised depictions of that era. Is their original imagery from that far back depicting soldiers? And you would never find a processional cross made with a metal cross fixed onto a second broader wooden cross - there would be just one cross and it would be either all wood or all metal. And I think the conical metal shields shown in some scenes died out in the Urartian period (and those Urartian shields were cermonial shields anyway - not for real fighting).Last edited by bell-the-cat; 03-26-2011, 10:12 AM.

Re: east of byzatium
i happy that those test videos are merely just test videos and not final products, or i'd have died.
As for historical accuracy, I'm fine if it's not 100% as long as the end result has a good script and isn't a visual eye sore
