I recently watched Braveheart again for the first time in like 15 years, and it was nothing compared to Gladiator.
Good compared to other movies, but nothing compared to this

I don't think that
Braveheart
is a contender for "best movie ever" but
Rob Roy
is a poor man's edition of it.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut, preferably)
The Last of the Mohicans
Alexander (great production value and quite entertaining for the hammy acting)
Michael Kohlhaas (known in the U.S. by the silly title Age of Uprising) is an excellent period film in the same vein as Roy Roy and Braveheart, albeit smaller in scale.
There are also lots of great classic period action films (The Duellists [1977]) and foreign ones of all ages (from Seven Samurai [1954] to 13 Assassins [2013]). -

I don't think it's helpful to discuss which suggested movies are good or bad The OP asked for epic films, and our tastes will differ.
So I'd agree on
Ben-Hur
, for the sea battle and chariot race scenes, if nothing else.
Also, you might enjoy some foreign films such as Kurosawa's
Ran
(a retelling of King Lear) and
Jodhaa Akbar
from India.
The War of the Arrows
from Korea is epic too.
