The series was well crafted and intriguing however final battle seemed highly unrealistic. The Roman legions would never break their formations and fight in that one on one manner especially when on open ground. The ambush attack on their thinned out lines while they were snaking their way through forest was the real manner of their demise. That final battle on open ground never happened and the Roman’s would never have been defeated in a pitched battle against indisciplined barbarians. It seems incredulous that their superior armour offered no protection against the inferior weaponry of their enemies and they fell so easily. They did not even engage with their Pila or javelins at the outset but instead just threw their javelins to the ground and charged forward madly. A more realistic battle scene would have improved the show.
