The helmets are direct copies from Trajan's column, little ring thingy on top and all.
As to the entire series, which is finished here in the US now, there are big historical inaccuracies, some bigger than others. You guys be warned about the Cleopatra episode, [sigh].
Also [MIGHT BE A SPOILER, so if you don't want to know anything don't read on]:
There is no big battle scene a la Gladiator. Just don't expect one, then you won't be disappointed like I was.
As to the drama and all, I found the series very entertaining.
