[Theodosius the Great]

so something considered ''authentic;; to you guys is something that you have archeological evidence of?

Not just that. Hollywood is prone to commit anachronisms. For example, those helmets from the TV series are shown on the column of Trajan which dates to the early 2nd century AD. But the series is supposed to take place at the latter end of the 1st century BC :roll:

Another anachronism : the city of Rome seen on the TV show isn't the same Rome of the Republic. What you see is Imperial Rome rather than the "city of brick" that Augustus described.

i hate when people say something is not authentic because of one tiny detail, absurd!

Some guys are petty and tend to focus on the flaws. I won't condemn a movie or series for costume inaccuracies but at the same time I choose not to follow in their aberrations with regards to my reenactment kit.
