Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

I'd wager there's no accurate historical depiction in any media.

Everything is stylized or fictionalized to some degree.

Maybe The Passion of the Christ is closest I can think of as they did all the speech in Aramaic and Old Latin

If we are talking about ethnicity, there were huge liberties taken. I think a few of the romans were actually Italian but no one else was close to plausible.

I haven't seen the film and don't plan to, but most Romans weren't Italian by that point, especially in the military.
