    Not much different from the ones in SPQR, actually I like SPQRS better, more fancy.

    Someone already made texture mods of the Praetorians a while back, they were good, but they would look a little dated if someone were to do them now.

    The stuff from "Gladiator" is very unauthentic (look at the lorica segmentata, it leaves your sides unprotected!) Even a film that is almost 50 years older ("The Robe" with R. Burton) has armour that came much closer to the "real thing". The praetorian-helmet in "Gladiator" for example is obvioulsy inspired by an original piece from Theilenhofen: http://www.dedi.ambranet.de/projekt0...lenhofen01.jpg but looking much cheaper actually.

    Besides that, did you notice that director R. Scott used the same pice of horse-armour in "Galdiator" and "Kingdom of heaven"? :original: http://www.thefilmasylum.com/albums/...Heaven/aaf.jpg

    Pinarius are you going to make Sprites for your horse mod? :-)

    I heard that helmet actually was meant for Cavalry?

    Yes it was a cavalry-helmet, Trebonius. They also found a rather simple infantry-helmet there:

    @ Lt_1956: is there an easy way to do that?
