The falx penetrating the shield for the frontmost and middle legionary was a really nice touch. The penetrative power of the falx was exactly what caused the legions in Dacia to (temporarily) uparmor themselves with armguards and heavier helmets.
But I guess the guy at the front was wishing he'd had some armour at this point.
