* AncientGrome: While the game has a Roman setting, there are Greek mythological figures instead of Roman ones. The main figure around which the story revolves, Damocles, is a Greek name and was a character from a Greek moral tale. Nemesis is also a Greek goddess (although she ''does'' appear on Imperial coinage, such as her variant "Pax-Nemesis" [placated vengeance] shortly after Claudius become emperor.) Leontius (or Leontios), Marius' father, is also a Greek name.

* AlasPoorVillain: Boudica was simply protecting her homeland and was never the true villain of the story. Marius realizes this, and this is acknowledged in game before Marius regrettably has to execute her.

Authority Equals Asskicking has been renamed. Example Indentation. Quote formatting.


* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Boudica, the Horned King, and even Commodus all put up boss-level fights against Marius. Marius himself is shown to be AsskickingLeadsToLeadership, as his rapid promotion comes as he kills hundreds of dudes singlehandedly over the course of the game. Commander Vitallion is another good example.
