"Orbis" ...Opening part 1...with Ward Emling and Edward...rough edit

Here is the rough cut edit of the open..all the way thru to where Saturius departs on his mission...which we carry on in the next clip below Part 2....

This scene is where one of the allied German chiefs, "Segestes"...played by Ward Emling... comes to Saturius...who is retiring from the XVII Legion...and is to return to Rome to his family the following day....Segestes warns that he is hearing rumors that an ambush is being set up...a trap...set by Segestes own over zealous son-in-law "Arminius" (Hermann in German history...a German national hero)....
Segestes asks Saturius...who is an advance re-con soldier..a spy...or as the Romans called them an "Exploratore"....to delay his departure for home one more day...and
try to find out if this rumor of ambush is in fact true....and thus stop their General ...Quinctillius Varus...from marching thru the Tutenburg forest into the trap with the three Legions under his command...
