1* CaliforniaDoubling: Completely averted. It was filmed on the site of the actual siege in UsefulNotes/{{Israel}}.
2* CompanionShow: ABC executives were concerned that audiences would be unfamiliar with the historical background of the story, and commissioned a 30-minute documentary, ''Back To Masada''. Narrated by Creator/PeterOToole (who plays Flavius Silva in the miniseries), it recounts the history of the UsefulNotes/JewishRevolts against UsefulNotes/TheRomanEmpire. The network gave the documentary to its affiliates to run in the weeks before the miniseries premiered.
3* FakeNationality: Almost everyone.
4** TheQueensLatin applies for Creator/PeterOToole and just about everyone from the British isles playing Romans.
5** The Nicaraguan-American Creator/BarbaraCarrera as the Jewish/Judean Sheva.
