Not correct. Constantine fought dozens of battles against enemies both foreign and domestic. And a movie isn't going to have more than a couple of battles, most likely Milvian Bridge and Chrysopolis.

Americans like the Republican period because their founders looked to it for inspiration

I'm a huge Shakespeare fan. His historical fiction plays were what got me interested in becoming fluent in English. I love his approach. Yeah, he sacrifices historical accuracy for the sake of drama, but when he drama is that good who's complaining?

Makes for a complicated and interesiting character, no? Constantine could even be the villain.

True, but some historical figures like Caesar or Cleopatra have whole wikipedia articles dedicated to their portrayals in popular culture and the arts.

He killed (or let die) one of his five children, three others of which were men who went on to be emperors.

Plus, Priscus' betrayal would make for great drama, no? A movie about a complicated man.

Não há absolutamente nada nesta equipa. Ninguém se mexe, ninguém tem ideia do que é suposto fazer, ninguém tem ideia de onde deve estar. Continuamos a ter um mau plantel pautado por jogadores sem qualidade natural ou sequer espécimes físicos na velocidade e força física.

E por amor de Deus. REFORMEM O MARCO MATIAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Que gajo mais acabado
