The thing is that there is no such thing as a safe side. The general worldwide populace haven't got a clue what a real Roman legionary looked like.
If you presented them with a wrong version and a right version, I would put money on 99% saying they haven't got a clue.
My money is also on costume designers not updating their references, and the old books based on old knowledge still being generally used for reference. Plus the often misleading monumental record and the difficulty they possibly have in knowing where to even start.
Alexander proves it can be done. Was there an uproar of "Wrong costumes!" from the world when that came out?
No
:wink:
