SPARTACUS....the old movie

ROME  CALLED  OTHERS  NOT  A  PART  OF  ROME  AND  ITS  EMPIRE  "BARBARIANS"  -  THE  CELTS,  THE  BRITISH,  THE  GERMAN  TRIBES,  WERE  TO  ROME  "BARBARIANS."

THE  OLD  MOVIE  "SPARTACUS"  STARING  KIRK  DOUGLAS,  LAURENCE  OLIVIER,  JEAN  SIMMONS,  CHARLES  LAUGHTON,  PETER  USTINOV,  JOHN  GAVIN,  TONY  CURTIS  -  A  1960  UNIVERSAL  PICTURE  -  MEGA  SPECTACLE  OF  3  HOURS  AND  16  MINUTES,  GIVES  YOU  THE  TRUTH  ABOUT  THE  ROMAN  EMPIRE.

IT  WAS  PROPHESIED  THE  ROMAN  EMPIRE  WOULD  BE  THE  4TH  WORLD  RULING  EMPIRE,  MADE  OF  IRON  IN  THE  LEGS  OF  DANIEL'S  STATUTE  IN  CHAPTER  TWO.

THE  ROMAN  EMPIRE  WAS  STRONG  AS  A  WAR  MACHINE,  STRONGER  THAN  THE  OTHER  THREE  WORLD  EMPIRES,  BUT  IRON  HAS  LITTLE  BEAUTY  OR  REDEEMING  QUALITY.

NOW  AT  TIMES  THERE  WERE  SOME  GOOD  PARTS  TO  THE  ROMAN  EMPIRE;  IN  RULING  THE  HOLY  LAND  THEY  ALLOWED  THE  JEWS  TO  OBSERVE  THEIR  RELIGION;  WHEN  CARADOC [THE  MIGHTY  BRITISH  WARRIOR  WHO  DEFEATED  ROME  MANY  TIMES  IN  BATTLE]  WAS  CAPTURED  [BETRAYED  BY  ONE  OF  HIS  OWN]  AND  TAKEN  TO  ROME,  HIS  LIFE [AND  HIS  FAMILY]  WAS  SPARED,  AS  THEY  RESPECTED  HIM  SO  MUCH.

BUT  FOR  THE  MOST  PART  ROME  WAS  LIKE  THAT  DEPICTED  IN  THE  MOVIE  CALLED  "SPARTACUS."

IT  IS  A  FINE  COLOR  MOVIE  THAT  GIVES  YOU  A  LOOK  AT  THE  DARK  SIDE  OF  THE  ROMAN  EMPIRE.

  1. Hi Keith! You mention 3 other Empires at this time in history. I would believe around 60 B.C. What are those 3 Empires?
