The Last Legion made many errors.

A historian breaks down the ancient history film The Last Legion. The Last Legion is a 2007 war epic film about young Romulus Augustulus attempting to flee the city and embark on a voyage to Britain while the Roman Empire falls apart. Romulus Augustulus is played by a young Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who is surrounded by a leading cast that includes Colin Firth, Ben Kingsley, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kevin McKidd, Peter Mullan, and Josh Hannah.

"This film was never really seen in the high echelons of ancient history films. And with good reason. There are a lot of problems with this film. And it's certainly not one of my favorites. I think it's pretty dire. But we'll try to find some, I want to try to find some good points there. Romulus Augustus wasn't really prepared to be emperor. His dad kind of took over as a chief commander, and then installed his young son as emperor like a year before he is then deposed. This is like 475 AD, it all happens really really quickly. Yeah, it is quite interesting. He then gets the name Augustulus added to his name, originally his name is just Romulus. And Augustus is added when he becomes emperor.
