  Barbarians is a TV series about it! Season 1 is about the battle and the lead-up, and it’s pretty good!

  Also, the Romans speak Latin, which is cool af

  Season 2 is about the aftermath, and the quality dropoff is astounding. Definitely skip Season 2.

      I believe it’s a German production, so it’s the equivalent of the barbarians speaking English. Just translation convention. The Romans speaking Latin, thus, makes them seem more ‘alien’ and imposing. Also, it’s metal af
