<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2142437, member: 26302"]Yeah, I do that with all shows, even ones about the ancient world. My most period correct seen was from the series Rome where the doctor examined all gold coins offered in payment and threw one out as being brass. Not many people know that half the small change in the Roman era was orichalcum, an early form of brass, and if still fresh from the mint looked very much like a gold coin. That series got very high marks from me due to that scene.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
