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?2 vastausta 0 uudelleentwiittausta 2 tykkäystä -

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!

Anyway, that was my take from the first episode. I also found the story itself somewhat underwhelming, but I'll probably force my way through. The flash forward at the beginning with a battlefield with lots of RANDOM FIRE was not promising though...

Oh, also adding to this - the cherusci village we see. Where are the fields? Like, yes, these villages are in a forested region, but they're still agrarian. Where are the fields? The spaces for cattle?

And also the Cherusci chief's household is, um, surprisingly poor for being an important local chief of a large tribal group. The wealth gap between him and the poor Cherusci should be pretty pronounced and visually obvious.
