<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iamtiberius, post: 3444822, member: 37707&quot;]I&#039;m currently watching Season 2 of Roman Empire on Netflix. The first season was about Commodus. The second is about Caesar. I was half watching Episode 3: Crossing the Rubicon, when I noticed a coin like pendant around Pompey Magnus&#039; neck. Under closer examination, it appears to be a counterfeit sestertius of Nero. </p><p><br /></p><p>Pompey was assassinated in 48 BC; predating Nero&#039;s reign by more than 100 years.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]914644[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s also a scene where an accountant is taking count of all sorts of Pirates of the Caribbean-esque giant gold and silver medallions. I realize they aren&#039;t going to get decent looking counterfeits for these scenes; much like the scene in 300 where Xerxes&#039; pierced face is on the obverse of his gold coin; but using a coin 100 years out of chronology is an obvious gaff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also note, this is suppose to be a docu-series; with cut-aways to actual historians and experts. </p><p><br /></p><p>Post any other historical, blatant neglect scenes you can think of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
