Title: Re: You know who the Spartans were?... Post by Wolfman on 02/25/11 at 12:08:18 Yep, rome style chariot. Dudes got balls AND brains. Balls to be seen running down the road in that thing behind a merry go round pony and brains to figure out how to make it work. Bet he gets a LOT of looks and even a lil grief from some for being seen behind a Pony...lol More power to him though. Needs a horse hair crest on his helmet though...lol |

Post by skatnbnc on 02/25/11 at 13:42:18 this rocks - only i would want at least a troika going on with real horsehair manes and tails flying in the wind....overall an awesome concept and great workup! oh, and weapons - we need spears and probably a bow-arrow thing going on too. :D |

Title: Re: You know who the Spartans were?... Post by drharveys on 02/25/11 at 20:49:46 SPQR -- Senatus Populus que Romanus "Senate and People Of Rome" And Spartacus was a Thracian. Thrace is today the southern part of Bulgaria, the European part of Turkey and a sliver of eastern Greece between them. He led a slave rebellion against Rome that darned near succeeded. |

Title: Re: You know who the Spartans were?... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 02/26/11 at 11:46:35 There were several "clubs" , well, gangs of guys, in Odessa in the 60's & 70's. They had nice jackets, like the jocks wore, but they had logos of their Club on the back. Spartans were one of them. Rumors of the initiation & what they would do to people they caught out alone were enough to keep me well clear of those guys. I think Celtics were another, |

Actually, it was Kirk Douglas in the movie, and Andy Whitfield in the Starz television series. Season One of the Starz show ended just as the slave rebellion began. I was looking forward to the second season giving an interesting take on Spartacus as a rebel leader. Unfortunately Mr. Whitfield has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. The rebellion has been postponed pending his recovery, so Season Two is being done as a prequel showing the rise of the gladiator "school" in which he spent Season One. It's gone from souped-up history to "Do you like gladiator movies?" On the bright side, it's a gladiator movie with lots of stage blood, bare breasts and simulated sexual activity -- in other words, great entertainment! ;D |
