Being a Scot, this movie represents Roman expansionism, into what is now the Highlands of Scotland. The Romans built a wall, Hadrians Wall in AD 122, as an expression of the limits of the Roman empire, and to keep to the north the fierce Celtic Tribes, the Picts in particular. This movie depicts the fight to recapture a standard lost by the 9th Legion in Scotland, when this Legion was overwhelmed by the Picts and destroyed.

As a director of photography, i can give you a few reasons why Roman soldiers in movies are happily slashing and hacking away with the gladius. Stabbing makes the scenes much more difficult to shoot as you have to show the blade enter the body of the enemy. That means digital sword replacement plus digital wounds. That is a lot more expensive and slows down the shooting. Plus i believe many directors think that big sword moves look a lot more cinematic than short stabs and it is a lot easier to build a choreography around dueling pairs of actors than having them fight in a tight formation. In a few years, when AI does all the VFX, that might change and we will see a lot of action shown simultaneously.

+manuls23 Wow, listen to the hindsight wisdom about "realism": for tribal warriors of the time glory in battle was achieved by charging into the fray - they were not professional soldiers unlike Romans and would even go to battle in drug/-alcohol infuzed haze ('shrooms and booze can do wonders) - it's easy to talk in hindsight about things, especially when you (guess what; me neither!) don't have the mentality of Iron Age tribal warrior : /

Nothing about this 'battle' (or any of the other battles depicted) was historically accurate. The movie begins in 140 AD, which was 105 years after the Roman conquest. Roman 'frontier' garrisons would have been equipped with lorica hamata rather than lorica segmentata. Centurions did not wear leather breastplates. No one wore leather vambraces. IRL, Rome didn't quit Britain until 409 AD, and they no longer used lorica segmentata, gladius, or scutum. Infantry wore lorica hamata, and carried oval shields and spatha.
