** In his report, Skantarios discusses that he'd like to say that his duel with [[spoiler:Pope Nicolaus IV]] was the stuff of legends... but his opponent was nearly eighty, had never handled a sword before, and could barely ride a horse, so [[CurbStompBattle he barely put up a fight]].
** During Skantarios's raid into the Egyptian heartland, he doesn't know what's going on in the rest of the world, unlike the games the series is based on. Of course, you'd expect that from going behind enemy lines in the days before modern communication.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Genessios at the end indicates that he's ordered the publication of Skantarios' journal and battle reports. He notes with some irony that the scribe hired for the task was also named Skantarios, [[NamesTheSame giving the author a place in the emperor's story]].

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope
Changed line(s) 39 (click to see context) from:
* CurbStompBattle: Lots and lots, usually with the Romans doing the stomping. [[spoiler:The capture of Jerusalem]] is an [[UpToEleven especially strong example]], since Skantarios and his troops suffer literally ''zero'' casualties.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

* BadassBeard: One close-up screenshot of Skantarios reveals that he has a beard that reaches down to his collarbone.

* OrphanedEtymology: Roman generals occasionally describe battles in terms native to the New World, which had not been discovered yet in-universe. Isidoros once describes the hunting down of fleeing Spaniards as "a turkey shoot," and Likenia refers to the use of Greek fire as "barbequing the French."
