Added line 33:
*** Still, she seems somehow piteable when Caligula sneeringly denies her dying wish. On her deathbed, no less.

* OlderThanTheyThink (The cruel use of ExactWords on the family of the protagonist of ''{{Gladiator}}'' to allow for his son to be murdered and daughter raped is what happens to Sejanus here and in history prior to his execution)

Added line 82:
* PropheciesAreAlwaysRight: Three prophecies are mentioned during the series: that Rome would be placed in Claudius' hands in the hour of need, that Claudius' memoirs would be discovered after nineteen hundred years, and that the Messiah would be born on Livia's birthday. The first two come true, and it's heavily implied that so did the third.
reason: Until I saw this series, it never occured to me that Patrick Stewart had ever had hair.

**[[spoiler:Claudius: Senators, it is true I'm hard of hearing, but you will find it's not for want of listening. As for speaking, again it's true I have an impediment. But isn't what a man has to say more important than how long he takes to say it. It's true again I have little experience of government, but then have you more? I at least have lived with the imperial family who have ruled this empire, ever since you so spinelessly handed it over to us. I have observed it working more closely than any of you. Is your experience better than that? As for being half witted. Well, what can I say. Except that I have survived to middle age with half my wits while thousands have died with all of theirs in tact. Evidently quality of wits is more important than quantity!]]

*** SmallReferencePools may be a partial explanation since those are the two names that come up most quickly for most people who think of that period of Roman history. And they got to the interesting bits pretty early.

*** SmallReferencePools may be a partial explanation since those are the two names that come up most quickly for most people who think of that period of Roman history. And they got to the interesting bits pretty early. There is also the fact that ancient historians had a habit of borrowing from each other and they may have been working from common sources.

* SpecialEffectFailure: The assassination of Caligula shows how theatre actors stab someone and make it look real. Unfortunately, this is television.

Added line 32:
*** Played with by Livia: In her mind, she needs to be declared a goddess, since all the [[CompleteMonster horrible]], [[IDidWhatIHadToDo horrible]] things she's done have guaranteed her to an eternity of punishment in the Afterlife. Unless she's [[KarmaHoudini promoted to goddess]], of course.
