2	* CompleteMonster: [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade Tigellinus]] is a prefect of the PraetorianGuard and UsefulNotes/{{Nero}}'s right-hand man who follows every Nero's order without question, no matter how immoral or cruel. In fact, Tigellinus likes to use Nero's mental instability as a way to get him to give an immoral order so that Tigellinus could enact it. Tigellinus likes to pick beautiful Christian women for Nero so that Nero could use them as his {{sex slave}}s. When Tigellinus finds out Nero has a fantasy of burning Rome so history could write poems about him, Tigellinus incites Nero to actually order this, which Tigellinus and his soldiers happily carry out. Afterwards, Tigellinus and Nero [[FrameUp frame]] Christians for the fire, resulting in Christians being rounded up en masse and thrown into the arena where they are brutally killed in many different ways. When Tigellinus finds out his friend, the philosopher Chilon, has converted to Christianity, Tigellinus has the latter's tongue ripped out.
3	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
4	** Ursus, the GentleGiant family servant of Lygia, who ended up being so popular with audiences that Hollywood gave him his own movie.
5	** Petronius, for the virtue of being a supreme GentlemanSnarker and the OnlySaneMan in Nero's circle. Also for his DyingMomentOfAwesome in the film, which manages to be awesome, funny ''and'' tear-jerkering at the same time.
6	* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Ursus wrestling down ''a bull'', while Lygia is tied to the back of the beast.
7	* MoralEventHorizon:
8	** Nero crosses it when he burns Rome to sate his ego.
9	** Poppaea crosses it when she suggests the Christians as scapegoats, out of spite for Marcus.
10	* SpecialEffectsFailure: While undoubtedly impressive for the time, modern eyes may spot lots of obvious blue-screening, particularly during the chariot battle.
