<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeptimusT, post: 4073635, member: 91240&quot;]I finished watching a couple nights ago. Enjoyed it quite a bit, even if there were a few bits that seemed a little corny. The historian talking about coins annoyed me because of how wrong he got it. </p><p><br /></p><p>A bit of a tangent, but I didn&#039;t mind that some of the visual things weren&#039;t wholly accurate, such as Constantine XI&#039;s dress. That used to bother me, but the more I&#039;ve learned about visual storytelling, the more I understand why it&#039;s done. It really emphasizes that Byzantium was the last vestige of the Roman Empire and shows that to audiences who are less familiar with the subject. In that way, it harkens back to Constantine XI&#039;s last speech, which I went and looked up after watching, wherein he reminds the defenders of the legacy of Rome. Accurate in spirit, if not in fact.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
