Anyway, let me say that it helps and it's cheap.
I can easily imagine what the average people could say as soon as, in the beginning of the roman movie they're going to see, an officer of the Costantinus' army appears with his "alien" IV century equipment (looking medieval), drawing his long sword (looking medieval), or fixing his tiny black and light "palace" shoes (looking sooo medieval)... Average Joe should burst out: "What a fake! That's not roman... Ahahaha..., where is Lancelot?"
Without knowing that his presumed quip could be closer to the historical reality than he can guess...

TITVS/Daniele Sabatini
... Tu modo nascenti puero, quo ferrea primum
desinet ac toto surget Gens Aurea mundo,
casta faue Lucina; tuus iam regnat Apollo ...
Vergilius, Bucolicae, ecloga IV, 4-10
