In middle school, we watched an animated film about either the Greek or Roman empire (Probably the latter.) I didn’t see much of it, just the beginning. The opening scene has stuck in my mind ever since.
It begins going through the woods, passing several posts with deer skulls attached to them. It then arrives at a group of tribal men (Probably Celts) gathered around a fire, all dressed in robes and wearing deer skulls. The leader then begins to list off various injustices committed by the Empire against them. The leader finished by stating the worst thing the Greeks/Romans have done to them; cutting off everyone in the tribe's right hand. They then all raise their arms to show all their right hands missing.
After this, the film begins properly, focusing on a Roman/Greek man and his slave. I remember him describing each character as he met him.
