** Emperor Titus is mentioned as corrupt, while Corvus claims he'd have Cassia's parents killed simply for questioning the effectiveness of his rule. The real Titus was actually known for his mercy (ending the widespread treason trials which plagued previous Emperors' reigns), even specifically saying defaming him was no longer a crime as it couldn't harm him. Far from being corrupt, he was known for being virtuous, enacting popular reforms and various public works. It's true however that this might be partly false rumors or empty threats Corvus used to {{blackmail}} Cassia's father into giving her hand to him, as Titus has only just ascended the throne (there was indeed skepticism about him at first, though not for the reasons in the film).

* TheQueensLatin: Almost everyone speaks with a British accent. Exceptions include Atticus for some reason, but this is perhaps explained by the fact that despite having an Estuary accent in real life, Creator/AdewaleAkinnuoyeAgbaje ''always'' performs with a Nigerian accent. Slightly odder is Creator/CarrieAnneMoss, who doesn't even attempt an English accent, and uses her own Canadian accent -- which is quite jarring.
