Quote:In my opinin, it is great that M. Caecilius put such a wonderful effort into answering about the accuracy of the program. I learned much from his response. I think it is sad that the average person knows nothing of Vercingetorix or Alesia. The only Caesar they know about comes with croutons!There are 6 episodes, and only one of them has anything to do with Caesar, others include Constantines rise to emperor, Nero's Reign,etc. And I am interested in the authenticity of the clothing,armor,buildings,etc. The material culture presented, how accurate is it? I am an avid watcher of historical drama and I long ago accepted the fact that the accuracy of the events portrayed are rarely followed, but the look,feel,etc of time is what I am interested in and this sometime is given much better attention.
And even if one episode is accurate another may not be, as I mention stirrups were used in some episodes but not in others.
