* HarsherInHindsight: As stated above, the show takes the Doctor's role in the burning of Rome fairly lightly. [[spoiler: It won't be so funny when he's forced to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E2TheFiresOfPompeii incinerate the people of Pompeii]] forty years later.]]

* ValuesDissonance: The Doctor finding Nero's sexual abuse of women funny and harmless (saying "what an extraordinary fellow!" as he sees Nero chasing an underdressed, screaming women down a corridor) is also something that would never fly in a children's programme nowadays. It works well today as BlackComedy, though.

* DesignatedHero: The Doctor ends up being unintentionally responsible for ''burning down Rome'' and this is treated as something to Squee! about. It says a lot about how cleverly-written the episode is that it comes across as a genuine moment of celebration and a turning point for the Doctor's character, but think of all those people who died because of him!

* StockFootageFailure: Ian is taken to fight in the arena, and peers out of the bars of his cell to see what it is he's going to fight. What follows is a poorly-edited sequence of lots of different lions in clearly very different zoos, none of which look remotely Roman.
