This clip, while most certainly not an accurate portrayal of Romans, show the changing view we have of the Roman Empire today.  Instead of seeing the Roman Empire as infallible, more people view it as oppressive.  Here the Romans themselves see that.  It is most clear when the general rhetorically asks what they are fighting for, for the Britons are fighting for the livelihood.
