What about Gibson's recent epic, the passion of the Christ.
The gear the Roman soldiers wore in that movie seemed wholly incorrect.
The segmentata seemed to be made of leather

the helmets they wore were not matching and were like nothing I've ever seen. (edit to add more photos)

I came away from the movie feeling that Gibson raided a prop room in Hollywood to garb his Romans. Of course knowing that I know nothing I wonder what other people who are experts in Roman military gear (especially in the east) had to say. . .
