* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Presented as something of an Ingenue and portrayed as very young and innocent, but she has sex more than once on screen and appears fully nude.



* TheLoad: Has a tendency to [[DamselInDistress get rescued]] and is the only love interest to not make a single kill, though not from lack of trying in a few cases. She does however prove useful in helping Gannicus set a trap that ultimately gets them to escape Sinuessa.

* ManicPixieDreamGirl: For Gannicus to an extent. She's not especially hyperactive or quirky like most examples, but she's very sweet-natured and idealistic, having faith in the gods even though Gannicus doesn't, and bringing out the best in him. He manages to finally find some peace and purpose in his life after meeting her and later tells her he believes the gods sent her to save him.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* PrayerIsALastResort: Sibyl is actually quite religious and prays a lot, but she and some of the other escaped slaves take it UpToEleven when the rebels are trapped in the mountains; despite the dangerously low temperatures, she and the others huddle around a make-shift altar desperately praying for the gods to save them. Sibyl even cuts herself to use her blood as an offering before passing out; luckily, Gannicus arrives in time to carry her towards shelter.
