Roman History X is an epic tale staring Octavian ( Emperor Augustus ), the Jews and those early christian-dogs. Also a cameo from Jesus, The god Mars , some gladiator and a Roman centurion. The original plot line was written around II AD mostly by the emperor himself but with large side notes from Tacitus and Flavius. Historians and film critics both agree that this movie is at least 10.5 times cooler than American History X.
