So the stories of the colisseum and the lions and everything are also a myth? I'm not being sarcastic here, just curious. You really know a lot about these things. And movies like Quo Vadis and Ben Hur are completely taking things out of proportion? Not to mention The Passion. How you must hate that movie. I think it's interesting, because, again, it's about Jesus, but the way those Romans are portrayed is VERY black & white. I've seen better depictions of the last days of Jesus' life.

Maybe it's because I've sort of had a Christian upbringing, with the schools I went to, but I'm interested in most of these stories about Biblical figures, like John the Baptist and King David, etc. But not from a religious viewpoint. Ancient history is interesting to me in any form.
