So the one thing that my lit class taught me is that the Romans did not have the invention of stirrups. Now I've been watching movies to see if they've been correct or not.

* Ben Hur - historically accurate (also it strayed away from leather armor)
* Cleopatra - used stirrups and leather armor. Bad Cleopatra
* Gladiator - I believe it used stirrups but not leather armor.
