Re: The 300 Spartans--not Roman outfits

"I'm certainly no armor expert,"

I am, they looked Greek ;-)

Note that in many movies the Romans look terrible. For instance in Spartacus the Roman rankers are shown wearing Greek style "muscle" cuirasses with Imperial Gallic style helmets from a period 100 years later than the movie is set.

Kind'a as if you made a WW I movie with the doughboys wearing Civil War uniforms and modern kevlar "fritz" helmets.

In the HBO series "Rome" the Roman rankers look pretty good with the exception of showing them wearing trousers. The Romans in Spartacus should'a looked like the Romans in "Rome".
