Ok gents. Netflix now has a series on Varus' campaign into Germany.........
Let's get going.

I'm more interested in the ROmans speaking Latin. (and the equipment) First episode left me cold. If you get further, I'll be interested to hear your thoughts.
The Latin seemed pretty decent? I'm sure a philologist with a living Latin bent could find fault (use of dominus as 'sir' struck me as odd, but its used occasionally as a formal greeting in the sources; I'd have to search to check the usage by soldiers to officers though).

The equipment isn't wrong, per se, but seems to oversample high-visibility prestige armors. Helmets look to be almost all 'Gallic' - fancy, high visibility - but in 9 there should still be plenty of coolus, montefortino helmets mixed in there.

And
@Idiotprofessor4 would probably also say, there's too much segmentata, not enough mail here. Obviously we have segmentata fragments from Kalkriese, so it's not crazy to have some, but it is probably too uniform. And there's basically no mail? - Näytä vastaukset
