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

@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?
The scale I saw struck me as odd. Roman scale armor usually has pretty chunky scales, often pretty thick (in the same range as segmentata pieces, I recall?). The scale in the show seemed thinner and to fall quite flat. Could still be correct, just looked wrong to me.

They make a big deal with the famous Kalkriese mask, which - as they have it - was probably for a cavalryman's helmet, but was also probably decorative. I don't think anyone would wear it while riding, the way they have it.

That was most of my take-away: nothing is egregiously wrong in terms of just being totally out of time period, but the balance of equipment was too much in favor of later, high-visibility prestige types.

For scale it really just depends. There are some finds suggesting quite large scales, but I think on the whole the Roman evidence is consistent with evidence from their neighbors: scale pieces were generally pretty small. Hollywood scale tends to be far too large.

It is intriguing how prevalent it seems to be, especially compared to mail, which should be far more common than it is in what I've watched so far.
