* SpecialEffectFailure: The various on-screen murders are rather obviously done using the same methods as stage productions - positioning the characters (and/or framing the shot) so we cannot actually see the blades entering the victim's body, and having the victim [[BloodFromTheMouth bite down on a fake blood capsule]] to show how serious the injuries are.

This isn\'t YMMV. Moving.
Deleted line(s) 1 (click to see context) :
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Though Tiberius is not portrayed as heroic as such, he is treated much more kindly than he is by Tacitus, Suetonius, or [[Literature/IClaudius Robert Graves]]. His reluctance to accept the title of Emperor and his sad resignation to the hatred of the Roman people as he eliminates his political opponents are emphasised, while his sexual depravities are only hinted at in a single line in "Sejanus".

My mistake - neither of these really fit the trope, as neither of these characters become figures of sympathy via their death scenes.

* AlasPoorVillain: Although the series' various schemers, manipulators, and murderers may deserve their fates, it's hard not to feel sorry for some of them. [[spoiler: Sejanus may have slandered various people and murdered Tiberius' own son to position himself as heir apparent, but the fact that his daughter was violated before being murdered to sidestep the laws against killing a virgin is shocking. And as much of a tyrant as Caligula may have been, he was likely genuinely mentally ill for most of his reign - until his fever, he is shown as almost benevolent.]]
