Centurion - August 2010 (April in Greece)

In a time when the Roman legions tried to take over the north england and Ireland (where we spanked their ass and sent them home -- grins to my Italian husband from his Irish wife) The Picts attack stealthily and on one run captured a Centurion. The Picts attack a post and the lonely survivor was taken captive and tortured in an attempt to extract information. His name is Quintas Dias (played by Michael Fassbender.) Right as he is to be executed he is rescued by another group of soldiers, the 9th legion, marching in that direction. He is extremely angry and vengeful and joins the group under the General Virilus (played by Dominic West)
When the general is taken after a battle which left only a handful of soliders alive, and after watching several captives be slain by the lovely warrioress Etaine (played by Olga Kurylenko) they launch a rescue attempt which fails leaving Quintas in charge of the legion. After killing the king's young son the chase is on, trying to get home with the Picts hot on their ass for revenge.
