are you so sure they are outside? 90% of movies that look outside are made in a sound stage. indoors.
you can not look at those two guys and not see the highlights around the eyes and the cheek bones. if you cant your colorblind. not to be mean but its definitely there. the guy on the rights makeup doesnt even flow well together, he has a green hugh from sweat in the crease from his nose to outer mouth.
why cant you believe us when we say, er its wrong. holiwood usually 98% of the time gives a flying pooh about 100% accurate stuff. if they do use a book to research, its from a source long outdated and proved wrong.
just the guy on the left:
buzzed hair: ? highly doubt an italian had bussed hair. look at the roman coins for the time period, see the emperior? his hair would be the normal style.
cloak: not bad color if it was damp weather etc. but its tied funny with a toggle not a nice broach. it also looks like a cotton weave not wool.
neckercheif: should go under the armour not ever it. was used to keep the armour from pinching the wearers neck.
armour: a hamata at best. the shuolder doubleings need to come over the shoulders a tad more. there shuold be no leather that connects 1 side to the other. there is the missing hamata hooks and the buttons should be on teh doubleings, not under it.
tunic: looks like wrong material. a soilder was paid, and out of what he was paid he was charged for laundries. his tunic is very dirty and tattered.
badric: belt that holds the sword. too wide
baltus: never seen belt plates like that before. should there be a second belt for his pugio? if not shouldnt he have an apron?
gladius: handle is wrong. it is machine lathed.
wrist guards: what the heck, those dont even belong there. why the studs?
shall i go on? the guy on the right's armour is far worse with those stupid doubleings that the guy on the left. you can find both for sale at museum replicas http://www.museumreplicas.com/ a big no no for roman reenactors to buy stuff from there
