Such an awesome film. When my wife and I were in Jerusalem last year we stopped by a little cafe in the old city for breakfast. It was right near one of the main city gates, and there was this extremely old broken pillar that was now being used to support a lamp post. As we were finishing up the owner of the place got to talking with us and he mentioned how Roman generals who became or were made rulers of Jerusalem would have their names carved into this pillar. Sure enough, about three down from the top it had maximus, but I believe it was spelled MAXIMO or maybe MAXIMV (where the romans used a v shape for the u). Cool story anyhow.

It's one of those movies you can watch again and again. That's a really cool story. I would have loved to see the pillar.
