You'd hope it were confined to fanfic

In a documentary about Anglo-Saxon art, you do not expect to hear mention of Romulus and Remus-like figures depicted on a piece which appears to pertain to their creation beliefs. That's rather interesting, as is that they are shown as adults beneath the she-wolf, not babies as usual in Roman iconography

Damn you, now I have to go looking Romulus/Remus.

This isn't the same documentary with the gothic looking woman who suddenly produces a toddler in a pushchair for no real purpose, who spends rather too long in a modern jewellery shop and who stands by an obelisk thingy saying, "Here's where the Roman's invaded in [insert relevant date here]... Well, not here, but over there," and points to an unseen spot way off camera?

If so, I watched that, and guffawed in annoyance throughout. She also didn't know how to use 'literally' properly, though she did keep practicing.

*sigh*

That makes my heart and my head just hurt.

But I would guess it's a lot of time spent. There's a lot of visual inspiration.
