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.

On the flip side, I thought the Cherusci being in a mix of 'Hollywood Barbarian' with appropriate haircuts and so on was kind of obnoxious. A lot of clothing strikes me as too thin or with too little coverage. They're up in Saxony - it gets cold!
