There's also a documentary on the vigiles on the ABC tonight at 8:35 which looks interesting, called the Guardians of Rome. You can watch a review of it here.

Ah. Well, I just watched Guardians of Rome, and about 3 minutes into it, I thought that this may be something you'd want to watch.
Why?
Well, aside from the "Rome" factor, there's the fact that the dialogue is, in fact, in Latin.
What as shame the translation was as bad as mine... (I may just be a schoolgirl, but I'm almost positive that "optime" is a superlative... not positive.)
Aside from that, it was pretty interesting.
[/two cents]
glad you enjoyed it, docos that have the dialogue in Latin are always interesting (at least to me). if only i had a tv...
