I'd wager there's no accurate historical depiction in any media.

Everything is stylized or fictionalized to some degree.

Maybe The Passion of the Christ is closest I can think of as they did all the speech in Aramaic and Old Latin

If we are talking about ethnicity, there were huge liberties taken. I think a few of the romans were actually Italian but no one else was close to plausible.

I haven't seen the film and don't plan to, but most Romans weren't Italian by that point, especially in the military.
