Touring Neolithic tombs in Ireland put us in mind of things ancient.
This got us to thinking about ancient battles that could use a movie treatment.
Our first thought was Cannae wrapped around a general biopic of Hannibal.
Our second thought was Teutoburgerwald in 14 AD where the krauts annihilated three Roman legions. This would be like Islandwana but with Romans. 'Varus! Give me back my legions!' Shouted Augustus.
After seeing Horrible Histories: Rotten Romans with the kids last week, we like the idea of a movie about the rising and defeat of Boudica, ancient Celtic warrior princess.
What other ancient battles deserve a film?
