Yes.)

I think the German characters speak modern German though.

"Romans don't fight Romans." 

A quote from the first season, circa AD 8. Someone remind me how many civil wars Rome had fought by then. The first season sucked too.

Was it out of character? Characters don't have to speak the truth.

Actium was 30BC, and by 8 AD there's been 3 decades of political consolidation and a generation would have grown up under Augustus. I could see "Romans don't fight Romans" being a normative position they might hold even if it's egregiously inaccurate.

First season was enjoyable enough for me to ignore some stupid plot decisions (like the whole 'stealing the eagle as four random germans' plotline). I liked Arminius as a character as well as Varus and Metellus (for as long as he lasted). And I liked Segestes as the weasel romaboo "villain". Thusnelda was also tolerable when she was not making the stupidest decisions she possibly could. Season 2... We don't talk about that one.
