Kill Em All is no longer a trope


* PostscriptSeason: So the writers end the first book with the explosion of Vesuvius and [[KillEmAll everybody dies]], or so we think. Caecilius the main character dies onscreen. It doesn't exactly give the impression there was going to be another book. Then in Book 2 we discover his son miraculously survives and the action is shifted elsewhere. Also, Book IV had ''a lot'' of {{filler}} arcs, don't you think? Who cares about ThoseTwoGuys at Bath and random weddings? Get back to Salvius and his evil!

* MoralEventHorizon: Salvius immediately crosses this on his introduction. He executes an old slave for being sick, and when the slave's son tries to kill him in revenge, Salvius accuses his host's guards of being in on the plot and executes them as well, even though the guards saved his life!

* MagnificentBastard: Salvius

to:

* HoYay: In the second book, Clemens works at a glass shop under the employment of Eutychus. Eutychus [[HairTriggerTemper is very easily angered by pretty much everything,]] yet consistently describes Clemens as "mi dulcissime" ("my very good friend!'; literally "my very sweet friend!") and greets him amicissime (in a ''very'' friendly way). The [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST]] gets better from there.

* CompleteMonster: Salvius. Within the first stage of the second book, he's killed four slaves - one for being sick, one for trying to avenge his father (that Salvius killed), and the two guards for "being in on the conspiracy". Then he got worse.

* AccidentalInnuendo: In spades, especially if you're learning Latin and tend to make mistakes translating it, many lines can come out having a completely different meaning to what they are meant to. Even some of the properly translated lines tend towards this.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Grumio. The drunk, dishonest, ladies' man of a cook who went as far as ''impersonating a Roman citizen''. The course is used in a lot of high schools.
