Dacii (1966) - Roman cavalry charge

Rumanian film "Dacii" (1966) directed by Sergiu Nicolaescu. This scene depicts an increasing senile and reckless Fuscus (portrayed by French actor Georges Marchal) ordering Severus (portrayed by Pierre Brice) and Marcus to lead what turns out to be a disastrous cavalry charge into a Dacian trap. It appears the Dacians lay this ploy to destroy the numerically superior Roman cavalry, before engaging the Roman infantry in a showdown. The eagle of a Roman legion would be captured. According to some articles I found on the net, the legion was Legio V Alaudae, although other sources claim this legion was destroyed during the Batavian rebellion in a different era.

Inteleg engleza, dar nu inteleg de ce cei care posteaza o fac in engleza cind e evident faptul ca sunt romani.Sau au impresia ca intereseaza discutia lor pe cineva din USA,GB,etc...?
