Spartacus Uprising - Defeat ( Linear-b)

 
 
Spartacus   finally lost the Third Servile war and was killed at the battle of the Siler river and  the Retribution taken upon his remaining  followers was swift and terrible!!!
The whole set together.
Crixus getting a kick.
"The little vascal has spivit!"
"Has what, sir?" 
 "Spivit.!"
"Yes, he did, sir"
"No, no, spivit! Sort of...bombavdo, a touch of devving-do"
The Lictor is a good addition, the Fasces showing the power to excecute...

Forming an orderly line waiting for punishment (Roman officer from the  Construction set.)
"Crucifixtion?"
"yes"
"Good...out of the door, line on the left, one cross each"

The Roman soldier can have the whip removed and replaced with a rope as part of a construction Team or onboard a ship.

"You don't have to do this! You don't have to take orders!"
" I like orders!"
 
This Scene from the 1960 film, Spartacus. This scene   captures the  powerfull and  menacing look of a Roman Legion.

    It wouldn't be hard to convert them to a religious scene.

      Thanks Ken.
      Amazing to think the film is 53 years old, and as you say, that Scene has, IMHO, never been surpassed. The Music fits, the Long shots of the armies, the lingering shots of peoples faces (would they do anything like that today?) and the co-ordination of all those extras.

    Appropriately grim and horrific. Nicely done.

      Thanks.
      The makers are Linear-b, they co-operate with strelets to create the sets.
