*CompleteMonster: [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade Tigellinus]] is a prefect of the PraetorianGuard and UsefulNotes/{{Nero}}'s right-hand man who follows every Nero's order without question, no matter how immoral or cruel. In fact, Tigellinus likes to use Nero's mental instability as a way to get him to give an immoral order so that Tigellinus could enact it. Tigellinus likes to pick beautiful Christian women for Nero so that Nero could use them as his {{sex slave}}s. When Tigellinus finds out Nero has a fantasy of burning Rome so history could write poems about him, Tigellinus incites Nero to actually order this, which Tigellinus and his soldiers happily carry out. Afterwards, Tigellinus and Nero [[FrameUp frame]] Christians for the fire, resulting in Christians being rounded up en masse and thrown into the arena where they are brutally killed in many different ways. When Tigellinus finds out his friend, the philosopher Chilon, has converted to Christianity, Tigellinus has the latter's tongue ripped out.

** Petronius, for the virtue of being a supreme GentlemanSnarker and the OnlySaneMan in Nero's circle. Also for his DyingMomentOfAwesome in the film, which manages to be awesome, funny ''and'' tear-jerkering at the same time.

"sage" looked like a typo; I assume "sate" is the intended meaning


** Nero crosses it when he burns Rome to sage his ego.
** Poppaea cross it when she suggests the Christians as scapegoats, out of spite for Marcus.

* CastTheExpert: Ursus was played by Buddy Baer (heavyweight boxer) and Rafał Kubacki (Olympic heavyweight judoka) in the 1951 and 2001 versions respectively.
* DawsonCasting: Robert Taylor was forty when he played Vincius, and was only six years younger than the actor playing his uncle Petronius, Leo Genn. Not an improbable age gap, but not very likely.
