* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Flavia initially buys Nubia as a slave because she wants a friend and companion, and treats her as such, but in "The Pirates of Pompeii", she is chided by the Pollius household for doing so. Anxious to fit in, she begins treating Nubia like a servant, summoning her to help dress her hair, and then dismissing her. This leads to a major HeelRealization when Nubia runs away and Pollius Felix says he can't go after her, because legally he would be required to treat her as a runaway, which carries some truly barbaric penalties.

* AngryAngryHippos: In "The Gladiators From Capua", part of the spectacle arranged by Domitian involves Flavia and a number of other young girls being set upon by crocodiles and hippos.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Queen Berenice; on the outside she is all sweetness and royal grace; on the inside she is feeling her age, and viciously jealous of any younger woman who she imagines has caught the Emperor Titus' eye. Being a queen, she has no scruples about the methods she will resort to against these real or imagined rivals. Jonathan's mother, Titus's favorite maid, Susannah, nearly dies from an attempted poisoning, which makes Titus finally realize that he has to release her from his service, for her own protection.
**In the TV adaptation, one of the palace's Jewish maidservants admits that Berenice caught Titus "[[MaleGaze looking]]" at her once, and lifts her headcloth, showing the horrified children the word "Delilah"[[note]] A Biblical adulteress[[/note]] branded into her forehead.

** In "The Gladiators From Capua", Nubia finally tracks down her brother Tarhaquo, and offers to buy his freedom. He laughs and asks why in the world he would want to be free, since being a gladiator has brought him fame, luxuries, and the adoration of young, beautiful women (one of whom is literally throwing herself at him during their conversation).

* MessyMaggots: In "The Dolphins of Laurentum", after Marcus Flavius Geminus has been injured in a shipwreck, Dr. Mordecai informs him that the sores on his feet will turn gangrenous soon and he has only two options: maggot therapy, or amputation. The captain manages to croak, ''"maggots, please"''.
** Mordecai conscripts all the children to fetch needed supplies to treat Captain Geminus' wounds. Jonathan and Lupus get the [[DirtyBusiness worst job]]: going to the meat market and searching the gutters for the biggest, most rancid, maggot-infested piece of discarded meat they can find.
** In the TV adaptation, a much-improved Marcus teases Flavia that he can still feel them wriggling under the bandages and offers to let her peek. With a shudder, she declines.
