Quote:Barbarians... I guess they are Gauls, with axes, and Marcomani helmets or ??? The Gauls had mail, helmets and shields, spears and swords, this seem to try and make them like generic barbarians... oh well
I was of the impression that mail was something worn by the Galic elites not the run of the mill conscript or volunteer gathered for that 250.000 strong relief army.
Slaves from Alesia...who knows where those slaves com from? Might have been from 10 miles away looted Oppida.
I´m the first on to find minutae incorrect but overall its a HUGE step forward and something I´m very grateful HBO has done to begin with. One can watch I Claudius re-runs just so many times :wink:
All in all your nitpicking is a bit to critic
