correct me if im wrong, but didnt the crossbow come out with the invention of Full Plate armor? Im pretty sure this is true. The armor they wore in the film, was banded mail, maybe chain mail and i think studded leather. The armor that most roman soldiers wore was the breast plate with piece-mail on the rest of them.
Although im not a die hard fan of the Authorian legends.. I just find that its a bit un-nerving seeing a legend made into this.

It means only one thing, and everything: Cut. Once committed to fight, Cut. Everything else is secondary. Cut. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. Cut. The lines are a portrayal of the dance. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resoultely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depth of his spirit. It is the balance to life: death. It is the dance with death. It is the law a war wizard lives by, or he dies.
