She gets round the obvious problem that men should have been reluctant to accept their wives ' children as their own: '... we might hypothesize that, once an elite Roman male had acknowledged paternity of a…

I am not usually one for boxing movies, because I do not understand why people would want to get hit multiple times and have people watching. Especially at the end when Adonis’ right eye is completely swollen shut, that is not something I could every imagine thinking going through is a good idea.

This movie perfectly portrayed the different stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, and performing. In the beginning of the movie the 12 men are taken into a room where all of them must find a way to communicate with each other proficiently in order to come up with an agreement on the young man’s fate.
