Things that particularly annoyed me:
The narrator claiming there was no evidence that anyone ever planned to attack Hadrian's Wall, when there was at least one full-scale invasion of the province mounted by its barbarian neighbours.
Talking about the barbarians crossing the Rhine in 406 as though it was the first time they'd done so.
Talking about the Huns as 'mysteriously disappearing'. Their defeat in the field at Chalons and the later death of Attila just may have had something to do with it?
